Get Ready to Soil Your PlantsSep 29, 2010
By Losermagnet For the uninitiated, let me say that Plants vs. Zombies is an amazing game. It's fun/funny, and something that can be played in short bursts, or for hours (if you lose track of time...). The general idea is that of a tower defense strategy game. You gather sunshine so you can grow plants that have either offensive or defensive purposes, so you can protect yourself from the onslought of zombies. It's real-time, meaning that as you are planting the zombies are attacking.
Really the question here shouldn't be, "should I buy Plants vs Zombies?". You should, but do you want this particular package? On the xbox 360 they have Plants vs. Zombies available as a downloadable arcade game for 1200 Microsoft Points (the equivalent of $15). It's the same game as what's offered on this disc. However, this disc includes the additional games "Zuma" and the amazing "Peggle" (a $5 and $10 value, respectively). Definately something to consider if you haven't already purchased either of those games.
My one caveat would be that you can't install the games individually to your xbox, nor can you install the entire disc to the hard drive (this allows for shorter load times and for the system to run quietly. If you were to download the game it would automatically work this way). However, this has nothing to do with the actual game, just the package itself.

Addictive Fun & Not Just for Kids!Nov 03, 2010
By Briana Blair
"BrianaDragon"
A friend of mine told me about this game his 5 & 6 year olds were playing. I figured no way it could be fun for grown-ups. Boy was I wrong! Everyone in the family loves this from 5 to 60+! It's challenging but a lot of fun. You get to work on strategy and time management, and it has plenty of replay value. I loved the PC version so much I just had to have it for the XBox. Well worth trying no matter your age or usual game preferences. It's an added bonus that it comes with two other really fun games.

Fun and Often Funny - RecommendedNov 12, 2010
By C. F. Hill

"Plants Vs Zombies" is a very enjoyable, funny, and somewhat addictive. I should note that we love the version on the PC (5 Stars) and while the Xbox 360 version is not quite the same, it still is VERY good and adds multi-player fun.
At the core is a tower defense strategy game where you place your special ability plants to stem (no pun intended) the tide of shambling zombies. Picking the right combination of offensive and defensive abilities to suit the situation, in real time, is key to being successful, but is actually fairly easy to get the hang of. Even younger players can become proficient with a little bit of practice.
The controls are OK and work well enough, but also better on the PC.
As noted above the PC version is better in most regards but this version allows us to play together, which makes it a worthwhile game. The mini-games are also fun and add to the replay value as well!
Recommended!

my wife has been zombieized!Dec 15, 2011
By wdhyte
"Dave"
I picked this up locally here in Dallas and it's the same offering but Amazon is a better price (by about 20%). Same setup, trio of games...Peggle and Zuma are great fun and madning...but, Plants v Zombies is the big winner here as far as my wife is concerned. She's really embraced the whole whacking of zombies to protect her house (and us too I suppose) and I've tried it a few times but she's WAAYYY better at it than I am. The action is old school arcade but with the great graphics of the xbox 360. At times I'm reminded of Frogger but this is a whole nutter level...its really well done, responsive to the controls, and has a fair amount of figuring out how to survive long enough to be able to start doing them in before you start getting hit by big waves of them. Its actually fun to just sit and watch too while she is playing just to make note of some of the sounds from the zombie characters and have a good laugh while its all coming apart on the screen. I have an 8yo that thinks its a bit stupid/scary so I wouldn't recommend it for less than 10 like it says but it's a serious hoot and great mindless entertainment when ya got a big glass of your favorite 21+ beverage and nuthin better to do for awhile. highly recommended

What an awesome game!!Dec 04, 2011
By Shanie This game is soooo much fun! The whole family loves it. I have it for the xbox and the pc and I am so addicted to both! I play like everyday! The replay value is VERY high in this game and so much to do with it, Puzzles and mini games etc.. Survival is pretty fun too and can get hard though, we have finished adventure mode twice. The second time you play through it, they pick 3 seeds for you and you pick the rest. You can buy stuff through crazy dave with the money you earn through the game. Zen garden is pretty cool too... I ordered PvZ for the ds for my daughter, because she loves the game so she can take it on the go with her now! What an awesome and fun game!
