Popcap’s most successful game, Plants Vs. Zombies, has now arrived on the Nintendo DS, after having been released on PC, iOS, Xbox Live Arcade, and Mac OS. How does it compare with the previous editions? Well in some ways, not so well in others.
The Nerd Stash: "Everyone loves setting up killzones and laying waste to waves of enemies, so here are our picks for the best tower defense games ever."
Leaked footage from unreleased Project Hot Tub gets verified and we have them on the table. Plants vs Zombies franchise fans are onto it.
From IGN: "In the second half of 2016, a small team of developers at PopCap Vancouver were gearing up for a presentation that would determine the future of their team, their project, and potentially an already-beloved franchise: Plants vs. Zombies.
For the past year, they had been working on a brand new Plants vs. Zombies adventure that would take the series in a very different direction. Though they had EA’s blessing for their work to that point, it wasn’t a guarantee the project would ultimately see the light of day, especially given how ambitious it was."
Good review, basically nails all the important parts.
Pros: More content than any other version, including a multiplayer mode and 4 DS exclusive modes
Cons: Graphics take a noticeable hit, though it doesn't really dull the experience much.
The only thing the reviewer left out is price. It's a $20 game, which is a fine entry price for a DS game, but a great deal more than you would expect to pay for the iPhone or PC versions. Which is probably why there is so much extra content for the DS version in the first place.
