Plants vs Zombies, a simple but cool game from PopCap

I came about these exciting game called Plants vs Zombies. It’s been a buzz since I’ve heard it from one of my classmates and day after another, majority of the class. I bought a copy from PopCap Games and found that it is surprisingly cheap. It cost me 183.00 pesos, discounted by the coupon I got from subscribing to their newsletter (it was originally 199.0 PHP, roughly 4.00 USD). Registering it is automatic as long as you’re connected to the internet.pvz


To play the game, you must build an infantry of plants to defend your home against a hoard of zombies (pretty easy eh?) I finished the Adventure mode at about a day nonstop. It is composed of five stages with 10 levels each (front yard, front yard-nighttime, backyard, backyard-nightime and roof) excluding the boss stage. While hurdling through these stages, I received plants of sort with different abilities dependent on what kind of zombies the next level would be. I also unlocked some cool features like a Zen garden where I’m able to grow plants and earn money, mini games and puzzles which are good to relieve stress and a cool music video by Laura Shigihara, a Japanese composer and singer for video games. The music video gave me a feel like I was watching a Japanese star singing in a concert (well, the zombies were the audience and the singer was a sunflower).


As of this moment, I’m not the only one addicted to this game but my cousins as well. Though I finished the adventure mode already, I’m surprised that upon playing it again, features added up to the difficulty making it endless and seriously addictive. This game for me deserves a ten on a scale of ten because it’s easy to learn but really fun to play.


UPDATE:


If you buy this from the Philippines, it will cost the same as what I mentioned above. However, if you’ll buy this from the US, it will cost at around $19.99.
