Plants vs. Zombies™ HD 9+

PvZ was one of the first games I ever played, I have beaten it on several Acadians with each play through being just as enjoyable as the last, but when EA bought pop-cap years ago, this experience changed so drastically that I can barley recognize it at all. First of all, the ads. I know that PvZ is a free game and it’s how they get their money but this is just a new low. Ads cover almost every corner of PvZ, you want a power-up, ad. want a new lawnmower, ad. And you guess what’s played after literally every level you beat, you guessed it, ADS! Ads are everywhere in this game and it’s destroying my sanity. Second of all, bull crap micro transactions. After beating the adventure mode, you will have a very minimal amount of gameplay to experience because the mini games and upgrades are so dam expensive. The only way you would probably be able to get all the content is spending a minimum of around ten dollars. You could grind levels over and over again to eventually get some reasonable amount of income to buy upgrades but this could take hours open ours of repetitive grinding to achieve. EA ruined a timeless masterpiece for the feeding of the own greed and I am very disappointed of what they have done to this classic title...

So first of all, I LOVE this game. I’m still trying to get all the achievements! I remember when I was only a few years old, I would play Begouled Twist and Portal Combat ALL THE TIME! But enough of that. I’m here to talk about some glitches that are fairly annoying. I don’t want to speak for everyone, but chances are you’ve encountered these glitches too. So first off there’s this really odd one that I encountered just a few minutes ago. Basically, I was on a file that had not yet unlocked Survival, then I went to my completed file, and Survival was still locked! To fix this glitch, I had to close the game and start it back up again. There was also this other one where I tried to watch an ad to get a free rake, and then the game crashed! I don’t want to be too harsh on the game, I mean it’s pretty old and every game has glitches, but since I play this game every day, Popcap should definitely fix these glitches. Other than that and the ads (which is a whole other topic) I think this game is really good.

Pvz is my childhood and is my favorite game series of all time. It would be a 5 star but there a couple things that stop it from being a 5 star. First of all, after you beat a level, why does it take you back to the main menu. It kind of ruins part of the excitement for some reason. A huge part of the game that makes the game special is the story. I think a lot of people can agree with me on that. The story makes the game exciting and fresh and engaging, not boring. They took out the entire story by getting rid of crazy Dave. How could they? I remember the funny and unnecessary things he used to say in between levels talking about the next level or random stuff. Crazy Dave made the game really engaging and when you take him out of the game it feels more like a level game where you don’t pay attention and just try to beat it. Kind of like geometry dash. There is no story in geometry dash. All you have to do is beat the levels. In pvz it’s the same thing but exciting and engaging and has entertainment in between levels. AKA crazy Dave . Plus the zen garden, mini games, etc. BTW I’m not saying geometry dash is a bad game. I don’t expect after 10 years that popcap fix what I’m talking about but just wanted to throw this out there. Thanks for reading.
