  • LUV but Battle Upgrades Glitches Galore

    I love this game and have been playing it for years. However, the recent competitive Battle mode upgrade has been causing too many glitches. It’s fun to play, but with the addition of something called Filamints, I frequently don’t get bonus gems for Free Plays which also effects getting 10 gems for completing all the day’s events. (You use gems to buy gauntlets that help you to play without paying money all the time.) I buy upgrade stuff now and then when I can afford it. I am getting sick and tired of how so many games can’t be played without paying lots of money - 3-5 losses and your done for hours or spending money. With Battle mode I can’t compete if I can’t afford to buy anymore stuff to play or I am a super star gamer. I’ve never felt this way about PvZ2 until the addition of the Battle mode. I’m downgrading my earlier review to 4 stars until this is fixed and until they do something about the pay for play issue they have created with recent upgrades.

  • Pretty good but a few things must be added!

    I love this game! You can do so much with it. I love the variety of zombies and plants and I just love to hear Crazy Dave and Dr. Zomboss talking! Once at the very end of a wave, I trapped in zombie in between two wall-nuts and I drew tons of things out of plants and he is still alive to this very day! It is so funny to trap the last zombie and never ever kill him! 🤣🤣🤣 I kinda feel bad for him at the same time though spending his entire life eating a plant that keeps getting replanted as soon as it dies. I like the zombies. That reminds me... You should add a function to where you can be the zombies. Also add multiplayer so one person is on plants and one is on zombies. Make it so that there is zombie levels just like there is plant levels. I love the zombies. Make a level where you are Dr. Zomboss too! Also make it so you can level up zombies. I think it would be so much more fun if you add a function where you can be a zombie. I almost wish zombies were real. But that would probably be bad soI wouldn't really want them to be real. So please add this!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm begging you!!! I'm almost ready to quit.

  • Could do without the new update

    The new update is causing too many crashes... right before completing a level the game will crash and I have to do it all over again. Also, I have to constantly restart the app in order to watch ads for gems/coins because after watching just one ad, clicking the ad button does absolutely nothing. Battlez was a good addition, however it could have been done better. There are too many players with premium plants which makes it extremely one sided. Why not have one player use zombies and the other plants, that would make it more fun. The new travel log is okay I guess but where are the daily quests? I haven’t gotten any since updating, which is so infuriating. It is already hard enough to get gems and now I am missing out on the 10 gems that used to be available daily. Why make the game harder for us to get gems... I don’t get it. Also, please fix the auto load to new level after completing one. I don’t want to be sent to the next level automatically, take me back to the main menu. It is so tedious to have to pause the game and exit out every time. All of these problems have only occurred since the update which really makes me wish I wouldn’t have updated! Everything was better before 😑😒

  • Ruined by Micro-transaction model

    This is a potentially great sequel to an already excellent game in the first PvZ. However, an exceptionally greedy micro-transaction model (especially with the latest update) and new power creep upgrade system ruins any potential for a well balanced game. Nearly half the plants are locked behind a premium $5 paywall (per plant!) including several classics such as the snow pea. There is no way that a game that should cost no more than $20 total should have hundreds of dollars worth of micro-transaction offers in every corner of the game. And the new upgrade system is no less heinous. If you wish to level up your plants, you must grind for random loot-crate like piñatas to slowly collect enough cards. In the first game, I loved the fact that the design of the levels often made them challenging, but I knew I could figure out a strategy and combination of plants to overcome the challenge. When I face a challenging level in this game, I simply wonder if my plants aren’t high enough level or if that particular level is in fact winnable with base-level plants. It saps almost all of the fun and satisfaction out of game with so much potential for those qualities. I feel like the developers and publishers have put much more time and effort into developing ways to get into customers’ wallets than they have into creating a fair and fun experience. If that’s not enough to leave a terrible taste in your mouth, the endless ads should be. What a shame...

  • Good game but has a Garbage update.

    I think it’s a great game. I play it all the time, probably to much. But what happened to the challenge of having to beat the Gargantaur Boss fight, to move on to the next Area. I used to play this when I was younger, and I liked how each Area posed a challenge, Like how Ancient Egypt had the Camel Tap or whatever it’s called, and like the Coconut Cannon game in the Pirate Seas, but why’d you get rid of the other challenges? Like in Frostbite Caves, and The Lost City? My favorite was the Lost City Storm, and now with the new Garbage update I can’t play it now. And why did more then half of the Plants have to be Premium?! I mean it’s not bad to want to make a few bucks on a great game like this, but seriously more then half the Plants? It’s a great game and think it has great potential. But I wish Popcap would keep all the special challenges in the different Areas. Oh and if Popcap reads this, I think it would be Way Awesome if you did a multiplayer mode where you could like pick a deck of Plants and the other Player could pick a deck of Zombies. I’m asking to much, but if you have another update, please add that Multiplayer thing, cause I would rate you 5 stars if you did. Anyway that’s just my point of view.

  • Fun game, but some problems

    I love Plants vs. Zombies, and I’ll start off with the positives by saying that this is a very fun game. It’s addictive! I like all the different themes and the cool new plants. Power ups make the game exciting. There’s a lot to do and endless hours of levels to play. I probably enjoy playing this one more than the first one. However, my main complaint is that everything is RIDICOUSLY overpriced. Some plants you have to pay for with real money, $5 a plant is insane!!! It should cost maybe $5 to unlock all premium plants, then that would be reasonable, and Popcap would get way more purchases. It’s sad that Popcap is turning a classic family game into a money grabbing charade. It’s sad and greedy. You can have a lot of fun with this game, but about half the things are locked unless you pay like $50 to buy it all. Anyway, Crazy Dave is back again, but I don’t like how differently he acts compared to the first one. His new personality is annoying and you should’ve left him as the original way he was. There’s a lot to explore in this game, and it may seem a little overwhelming to a new player. It’s a complicated set-up when you open the app, so maybe organize it more. But yeah, I still really like this game, it’s one of my absolute favorites. But please LOWER YOUR PRICES. And continue making Plants vs. Zombies games.

  • It was good until...

    I really like the game when you were still doing updating it. I started when lost city part 2 came out and it was good. New plants, old plants and new worlds made things interesting. I even like how each world had a certain gimmick that makes it harder like the cold wind in frostbite caves. It gave more challenge during the story more than the first one. However, now half of the plants are premium and you have to buy them with real money. Plus after level 8 in ancient Egypt you get all the world keys. What happened to the extra hard challenge level that rewarded you with a key. And what happen to the music that made that level fun. All the worlds have now only 2 themes. The normal theme and the end of the world boss theme. I really like hearing the remixes of the mini game theme in each world. (like the matching camel tiles in ancient Egypt or the coconut canons and the buccaneer pirates in pirate seas) Other than that, the game is a good challenge and gives you some good plants. Oh and what’s up with the piñatas in the world map. If you played the game before the update that introduced them, all of the piñatas would be used and you would get nothing out of them. If you just fix the premium plants, piñatas, and somehow get the music back for the mini games and challenge levels (like the levels were you used to get a world key when you had to fight a bunch of Gargantuan zombies halfway through the world) the game will be great. Until then the game is ok.

  • What were they THINKING?!

    The first game was a masterpiece. A defense game combining strategy of your arsenal and how you use it. Then... EA came. Even at the beginning of the second one, this game was great! A few premium transactions, but nothing that bad. I come back now, and more than half are premium! Not only that, but it gives you all the keys while you're in the tutorial! Beat the 8th level, and you unlock all of it. Where's the challenge in that? I liked it when you had to beat the gargan-something-or-other of each world to get another key. Why did they make it so you get them all immediately? Not only that, but the regular plants are even mostly premium! You need to level them up, but after level 2 or 3 the seed packets you need to get to the next one are at astronomical levels! Why would they do that? In all, if you want to listen to half of your fan base, give us the option to go back to the old version of this game(with the addition of the new worlds) although, I was thinking. The premium plants appear in a special type of space that doesn't exist anywhere else. After you beat the game, maybe that could unlock a super hard world, but if you beat it, you unlock all the freemium plants, in that blue matrix style.
