Plant vs. Zombies Garden Warfare

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare (PvZGW) is a third person shooter (TPS) that is exclusively on Xbox one and Xbox 360. Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare is a fun game that is only online, but it’s a different type of TPS because of its own Plant vs. Zombie feel. PvZGW is a spinoff from its successor: Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies 2: it’s about time, and It went from a mobile app to a next gen console.

Story Line

Story mode that is called Garden ops is just like the mobile app Plants vs. Zombies because your main objective is protecting Crazy Dave garden that is being attacked by waves of Dr. Zomboss’s zombies. Crazy Dave is the leader of the plants.
(Crazy Dave)

 You have an arsenal of plants at your disposal. If you played the mobile version you might noticed some of the plants on the console version. You have the regular pea shooter, ice-shroom, and so much more. Now you have to defend your garden from 10 waves of zombies and 2 of those waves are boss wave, which depending on your difficulty can be very challenging, and you play as any four main plants characters from Crazy Dave side.

Those four plants are the Pea Shooter, the Cactus, the Sunflower, and the Chomper. These characters have their own unique move set.

The Pea Shooter is heavy hitter he is like a solider. He shoots peas (hint at his name) that is pretty powerful, and has 3 moves. First, move is called Hyper Pea, and what happen is his movement get quicker and jump higher. Second, move is called Chili Bean Bomb, and that is where he shoots out a chili bean that explodes. Third and final move is called Gatling Pea and what happens is the Pea Shooter turns into a Gatling gun with set ammo that shoots peas, and becomes stationary.

The Cactus is the strongest of the plants, and is the sharp shooter of the four. First, move is the Potato Mine which is mine that can be placed almost anywhere, but you only get three. Second move is the Garlic Drone is a deployable flying drone that can drop a Cornstrike and shoot at zombies. Third and last move is the Tallnut which is cover that can be placed almost anywhere.

The Sunflower is the healer of the plants that is short to mid-range shooter. The Sunflower first move is the Heal Beam which heals plants. The second move is Sun Beam is like the Pea Shooter Gatling Pea, but her beam shoots consistently. The last move is Heal Flower and that heals teammates faster than the Heal Beam.

The Chomper is a close-rage character, and can take any zombie. His first move is called Goop, which slows down zombies. His second move is called Barrow, and he digs underground for a short amount of time. His last move is called Spike Weed. That move is a trap that makes zombies immobile for a couple of seconds.

(Dr. Zomboss)

 Dr. Zomboss is the leader of the zombies. Just like plants Dr. Zomboss has a massive army. If you are playing Garden Ops the zombies are all Ai (controlled by computers), and not only that they have unplayable zombies on Garden Ops.

Now on the zombie’s side you have four zombies that you can play as, which are the Foot Soldier, the Scientist, the All-Star, and the Engineer. They also have their own move set. 

The Foot Solider is a medium to long-range character. The first move that the Foot Solider has is ZPG (self-explanatory). Next on his move set is Zombie Stink Cloud that is a purple cloud that use for cover.  The last move is his Rocket Jump. This lets the Foot Soldier get to high heights.

The scientist is powerful close range shooter with a strong shotgun like weapon. His first move is Warp and that where he warps from where he is and gets closer to you. The Scientist second move is the Zombie Heal Station (self-explanatory). His last move is the Sticky Bomb which is a timed sticky grenade.

The All-Star has the most health out of the group and he’s a mid to long-range. Now the All-Star have Dummy Shield which is deployable cover. His second move is the Sprint Tackle, it’s a move that charges you into an enemy. His last move is the Imp Punt. This move he punts an Imp (small zombie) that explodes.

The Engineer is the Mr. fix-it of the group he can builds turrets and transporters and he’s close-range person. The Engineer first move is the Jack Hammer; this is like the Pea Shooter Hyper Pea just vice versa. He’s on a jack hammer. The second move is Zombot with is vice versa to the Garlic Drone, and instead of Corn Strike its Cone Strikes. His last move is the Sonic Grenade that stuns enemies.

 Online Multiplayer

The multiplayer for PvZGW is insanely fun. They have fun game modes that their own twist, there customization is funny you can make are funny. There are also taunts you can unlock, there customization is endless and funny all-around. The movements of the game and controls are fast. The downside is that there are a lot of kids that play this game and it gets annoying, but the game is for kids. Another thing about PvZGW the Down loadable content (DLC) is free.

 Graphic and Sound

The Graphics and of PvZGW is amazing on the Xbox One. The graphics are sharp clear and almost realistic. The sound affects sound just like a war, but Plants vs. Zombies style.

My Thoughts
I loved the app Plants vs. Zombies and the sequel Plats vs. Zombies: it’s about time, so when I caught wind that they’re making a TPS out of Plants vs. Zombies I was game. I stopped playing all the games I owned to play this game. I like that I can play as the zombies because on the app there are only certain game modes that you can play as a Zombie. Now it’s a reality that the game that was 2D is now 3D. This game is pure fun regardless of the age it was made for. I like the customizations that you can do to every charter. You make your charter look wacky or keep them as they come. The only down fall that I’ve found to be annoying is that this game is hard to play with friends, so when I try to play with a friend its difficult to join their match or vice versa. Other than that I love this game and I still play till this day. If you love the app you’re bound to love this.
