Plants Vs. Zombies
The Attack of the Zombies
PopCap has made one of the most popular games of today. Plants vs. Zombies is a unique and enjoyable game for everybody. The teaser alone is intriguing. It presents a delightful sunflower voiced by Laura Shigihara and a crew of zombies. It’s actually considered as one of the top promotional videos in the gaming industry.
At its core, the game is a simple combination of the time management and tower defense genres that dominate the casual gaming scene outside of the console wars, but it has a number of details and aspects that give the sum of its parts a fresh coat of paint.
Your main objective as a home-owner is to survive a zombie attack. While it sounds too simple, it’s portrayed in an exaggerated and cartoonish way. The zombies are not your usual video game zombies; you can find them in suits and football gear, and they hope around on pogo stick and jump with poles. When they close in on your home, you have your backyard to serve as your defense. You have to grow different plants, which are not your typical plants as well because they are armored. They defend your brains from being eaten by the hungry monsters.
The gameplay involves defending against five lanes, with the goal of keeping the endless hordes of rotting corpses from getting to the right side of the screen. Various types of plants are available for selection at the start of the game, which all serve a variety of functions. More types can be unlocked through progress. The idea is to plant them in a strategic manner, making the most of their strengths while minimizing the gaps in their defensive capabilities. The plants all fulfill typical roles one might find in simple RTS games, like the straight-shooting defensive structure or the very basic wall. There’s even one that functions as a landmine. Specific plants can also be very good at taking out some of the more specific zombies, like the pole-vaulting one.
As with most games of this sort, there is a resource that limits how many plants can be used at any given time. In this game, sunlight is that magic substance. It regularly falls to the ground or is generated by sunflowers, which the player must collect to afford the army of plants. This means that, like any RTS, people will quickly learn to put their sunflowers far away from the frontline.
You can still do a lot of things with the game even if you’ve completed the main storyline already. You can play in Survival Mode, which is quite longer than the regular level. You also have the option to play in Puzzle Mode, which hides some opponents in vases or makes you a zombie who will fight against the plants. But what make the game really fun are the Mini-Games that pop out.
