Pros
The arrange of characters espiecially in Plants, like Sunflower for producing Sunlight, Plants for attacking, and some exploding mines! Special, and brilliant! The controls, easy get handed, so I think a toddler until a grandpa will addict on this?
Cons
The vampires made me feel embarassing, LOL. And maybe if Im keep playing on this I will be bored, it seems like repeating and repeating and repeating, am I right? I can't pay it because Im still haven't get myself hired.
Summary
Just try. :) U will be entertained in this few 30minutes.

Developer’s Description

By PopCap Games

Defend your garden from a zombie attack using a variety of plants.

Get ready to soil your plants in an all-new action-strategy game from PopCap. A mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home, and your only defense is an arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants. Use peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to mulchify 26 types of zombies before they can reach your front door. Each zombie has its own special skills, so you'll need to think fast and plant faster to combat them all. But be careful how you use your limited supply of greens and seeds... as you battle the fun-dead, obstacles like a setting sun, creeping fog and a swimming pool add to the challenge. And with five game modes to dig into, the fun never dies.
