Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time

Plants vs. Zombies 2 Comes to Android

PopCap just released Plants vs. Zombies 2 on Android and I serious recommend you pick it up if you have an Android device. PvZ 2 is a freemium game but it isn't annoying. Where as I would have preferred to pay for it all and not have to spend time unlocking things, I never needed to pay for anything and the games increased challenge was a welcomed addition.

If you nab it on Android give it a go and let me know how it goes!

I really wanted to try this out, but it's not compatible with my phone unfortunately.

What? Wow. Does it require the latest Android?

I guess so? I think I have the most up to date operating system. Maybe it just doesn't like my Galaxy S2.

Worked on my phone :) and yeah, the difficulty is a lot higher in this. You really need to use the superfood wisely and the power-ups. I really like the punchy plants. Set them right behind a walnut and they can punch anything attacking the walnut.

The punch plants are a really nice addition for sure. They kind of fill the gap between the piraña plant and the wallnut, which is nice because they are not too expensive.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 Is A Scary Amount Of Fun

Plants vs. Zombies 2 is what I have been playing since it was launched last week. It's free to play and available on iPhone and iPad and I seriously recommend you play it.

this game is challenging

One of my biggest complaints with the original Plants vs. Zombies was that it was a bit too easy. If you figured out a pretty good build you could use that all the way to the end without much change required. You would get new plants and often it made sense to chose a new one over an old one, but often times you could use the same build all the way to end.

PvZ 2 is much more challenging and I love it. I've lost a few matches already and have had to adapt my strategy to win....

PvZ 2 is much more challenging and I love it. I've lost a few matches already and have had to adapt my strategy to win. Certain missions have you accomplish certain tasks, like protect a particular plant, only play with a certain plant build or start the game with a fixed amount of sun and stand your ground. I love the new play modes and how hard they are and have spent all my time unlocking each level and beating it one at a time.

free to play isn't annoying or hamfisted

One of the elements of Plants vs. Zombies 2 I was very nervous about was the free to play element. I was worried EA would dump out a stupid Facebook game or game very similar to the mobile free to play crapware. So far, my fears are entirely unfounded as the free to play element is present but not required to win or have fun. If you want, you can buy gold to toss on power ups or boosts and unlock plants. Or you could just go through each mission and unlock them yourself.

crazy dave and time machine are fun

I really like that they brought back Crazy Dave from the first game. They introduced a new character in a sentient time machine that not only serves to take you back in time but also a sort of NPC that propels you through the stories and levels. For some reason the time periods you go back to have Zombie infestations and they game doesn't quite explain why but it doesn't matter, the Zombies need killin'.

I am really interested to how this game evolves over time. It seems EA set up PvZ 2 as a game that can be updated with new levels after launch and I hope this gives PvZ a long life. I happily paid for the original Plants vs. Zombies on my PC and later my iPhone because it was so much fun. I kind of feel bad that I am getting so much enjoyment from PvZ 2 and it hasn't cost me a dime yet. If I make it to the end of the game and haven't purchased anything I may just do it to sort of vote for the game with my wallet.

All that said, Plants vs. Zombies 2 is well worth your time and available for the ridiculously low price of free.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 Released On iOS

Plants vz. Zombies 2 It's About Time has just dropped on iPhone and iPad today and it costs nothing. After playing a few missions I can say that it is quite a bit of fun and well worth downloading. There are a few changes to the game, but it contains the same core PvZ action I have come to love.

Since the game is a free release on iOS it has a built in store to purchase upgrades. With only a few levels under my belt I haven't had to need to purchase anything. The game contains an overworld map similarly to Candy Crush Saga and its a nice touch.

The game starts you out around the house you played the majority of the first game from. Crazy Dave shows up with a time... Read All

Plants VS Zombies Adventures

Popcap will launch the special Facebook only Plants VS Zombies Adventures on May 20th. I hope they do the game right even if it is a Facebook game.

Plants VZ Zombies 2 will be launching in June separate from the Plants VZ Zombies Adventures coming out on Facebook May 20th.

Plants VS Zombies 2 Drops in July

Stephanie Bayer the community manager for PopCap recently tweeted that Plants VS Zombies 2 is going to drop in July. I played the heck out of the original and am looking forward to the next installment.

Hopefully Crazy Dave has a much larger role in PvZ 2 and my only real request is that PopCap make the second one have some difficulty modes.
