Introduction

Plants vs. Zombie is a fun and a very addicting game. The game gives us a plot and scenario into which we can submerge ourselves and have a good ‘ol pleasurable time. The gaming industry has revolutionized quite a lot. Their main focus has become to produce a game which delivers the best of graphics and storyline that it can. Plant vs. Zombies focuses on good cartoon graphics mixed with an interesting storyline. The result is a game that can be liked by both hardcore gamers and beginners.

Plot

The plot actually is, well, protecting your plot. It’s your lawn and the whole of it is on the line. The plot is quite easy to understand and is quite a funny one. You have to protect your house from the invading zombies. There are a variety of missions and units so it make the game fun to play.

Units

The game features a large variety of units which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Not only you have a variety of units but the zombies have a variety of units as well which have their own advantages and disadvantages. That seems fair enough to me. The units range from normal ones to the ones that shoot something more dangerous and to ones that play their roles acting as obstacles for the zombies. The zombies range from normal dead zombies to armored zombies. The large amount of units gives you something to play with each time.

Gameplay

As I said earlier your objective is to protect your house from the invading zombies. You lawn serves as the battlefield and it is the place where you place your army of plants to give those dead zombies a fight. Now firstly the game does not apply a concept of money to buy plants but it uses another style which involves planting sunflowers and other plants to spawn ’sunshine’ for you. Sunshine also falls from the sky which you have to catch with your mouse. Now there are night time missions as well and the only way you can get sunshine is through your plants. The gameplay truly is amazing and simple. The controls are even easier than Pac-Man’s controls. Also there is also an AI player in the game who believed lives next to your house and at times to times offers you upgrades and much more plants to buy.

Conclusion

The game is truly a work of admiration. Its simple plot and good graphics make it an enjoyable game. The game not only aims for the mass gamers but for even those who wish to have a good time. Its simplistic controls and admiring gameplay make it a wonderful game and I would really recommend that you should give this game a try. Another very good advantage of this game is that it won’t require you to spend a lot of money to just upgrade your PC. It will easily run on any low end system as well.
