This game can consume hours of your life and turn you into a zombie. In each different version (PS3, XBOX360, PC, DS, iPhone) there are different mini games and achievements to be gotten but other then that they are all pretty much the same. I am writing this in the PS3 section because that's what I play it on the most.
In this game you must fend off the hoards of zombies using the plant life that grows in your back yard, WARNING: SHOULD A ZOMBIE ATTACK ACTUALLY HAPPEN PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT THROWING YOUR POTTED PLANTS AT THEM WILL KILL THEM!!! You start by fending them off in your front yard, back yard (which has a pool) and the roof. You do this in the day then the night and eventually in the fog.
Overall - This is a game that you definitely get your moneys worth out of. There are many different things to do in the game other then the main adventure. It is also a good way to warm up your gaming hands for a big night of online fun. As well calm you down after if you do bad. Or just simply a great game to pass the time or play with friends if you can't think of anything else to do. I have yet to find a person who didn't find this game fun. Even my 5 year old is obsessed with it.
Graphics - The plants look cool, the zombies look awesome. It is a very basic game but I think they put into the graphics what they needed to. They didn't cheap out on them at all. The graphics are cartoon, but they did put a lot of detail where detail was needed.
Sound - Although after a while I did have to turn the sound off (I heard it every where I went) It has some very catchy tunes and the best song they saved for the end of the game. Worth playing through just to see it, I mean you know if we didn't have youtube to go cheat and look at it.
Story - Very basic story line. Kill zombies or they will eat your brains. But you have Crazy Dave to remind you that you are actually working towards killing the head zombie and stop these hoards from attacking for good.
Depth - Lots to do in this game! Mini games, achievements, vs, co-op, Zen garden, survivor mode. Like I said before, depending on what version you have each will include different ways to play. Zen Garden however is the same in all of them as well as the Tree of Life so I will talk about those. The Zen Garden is where you grow your own plants to sell and make money to buy the upgrades you need throughout the game. You have three different gardens (you have to buy two of them) One for daytime plants to grow, one for night time plants (they will only grow here) and the last one is for water plants which will also only grow here. This can take time to grow your plants and they give off money every few seconds once they are fully grown or you can sell them for big bucks. I usually keep a bunch and sell when I need money. You do have a snail named Stinky to collect your coins when your gone. You have to feed him chocolate, which you can collect randomly from killing zombies and he will collect for an hour before he falls asleep and needs to be woken up. He is only in the day time garden though. The Tree of Life is a tree that if you feed it fertilizer it grows and each time you feed it, it tells you a tip or a secret cheat for the game. After a while though it doesn't have anything else intelligent to say. Grow it to 100 feet and you get an achievement. I would save that for last as it is costly
Difficulty - This is an up and down. This game can be very very difficult at times and easy breezy other times. It all depends on what mode you are playing and how long you have been playing it. The more times you beat adventure mode the harder it gets each time when you start over. The levels are always the same but they get harder. You find the right strategy that works for you and you will have no problems at all... Most times anyways.
