Now big unfortunate thing is that EA has only released it for the iOS, with no plans of releasing it for the Android which would be perfect as well since the great increase of users now dominating the Android Market. However, that's not the point of the post. We're here to make a review - and dare I say it, for a game that's totally free (of course pay abit of cash for some bonus plants), you can be pretty impressed with it.
Now I only played the first few missions yesterday when I recorded it, but little that I know until this morning that the number of missions and levels all across the entire game (even it's just free to play) is ridiculously huge! There's like 40+ missions in the first zone alone, and you still have another 2 more zones! So this game will be tonnes of hours blitzing zombies.
The mechanics of the game are fundamentally the same, but with a few more additions to the game like Plant Seed Power-ups, and more annoying zombies to jack up the difficulty a bit. The reason I reckon personally is that the normal campaign back in Plants vs Zombies 1 was sorta a little too easy. That's totally fine; I absolutely like the challenge. And if you want to challenge yourself and deviate away from the sort of standard play, you have the option of doing star challenges.
Money is easier to get by doing missions because you might want to call for some powerups should you need it. Also, unlike the first game, you can grind for cash, and ancient keys by replaying missions and save for power-ups, of course grinding or replaying will allow you to attempt star challenges should you desire.
Altogether, the increase in difficulty just sets things rolling for the game. Being free-to-play which is great and will last you for hours and hours, or even days or weeks for the entire campaign is a great trait towards this title.
Summary:
'Free-to-play, ridiculous amount of missions, days or even weeks of fun'.
The only other major gripe that would have otherwise made the game perfect: EA/PopCap, for God's sake,
RELEASE IT FOR THE ANDROID AND PC! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
