DS #5385: Plants vs. Zombies (USA)

[Snailface]

What is this? Plants and zombies? So much shovelware nowadays!
Just joking! Gonna be awesome playing this on the DS

If it were called "Plantz vs Zombiez" , then it would be shovelware.

The port is OK, the sprites are cute (the animation suffers a little, though), and thanks to the touch screen it plays smooth as honey. The gameplay is unchanged, so the addiction is here, as well. I think I'll stick to the DS version - but if you have an iPhone, maybe should play PvZ on it instead.

Wait.. ais that a good thing or a bad thing? Because honey is pretty fucking thick...

Re: Graphics, I've not played it but 2D games on the ds look much better when they're pixel art style the ds doesn't really have the resolution for the smooth vector art style visuals you get in flash games. If they just re-sized the flash graphics rather than re doing it all with the ds in mind it'll probably look a bit squished and jaggy.

You know what's weird, I hate the pool levels, but I like the Pog levels (Pool + Fog = Pog ((I miss pogs)))

Can't wait until I get there. I'm on 3-10.

THANK YOU! someone actually helping rather than quoting me for post count purposes

It's here! WoOO!

Edit: Just played the game, it's quite fun actually, Suprisingly it works without a firmware update

Versus mode, here I come!

Versus mode, here I come!

Yeah, I just unlocked it last night. Haven't tried it, but I was reading the instructions, and it sounds pretty cool. I like the idea of being able to play as the zombies.

All I can say is, I'm really happy this turned out okay. I'm not too surprised, considering it's Popcap, but you never know. My only complaint is that the colors look kinda washed out on DS. It's such a pretty game to look at on PC.

BTW, anyone know when and if you unlock the garden?

 

[klim28]

I'm so enjoying this game on DS

People nowadays are very hard to please.

 

[DryYoshi]

It's really fun playing this.
I wanted this so bad since I don't have an iDevice, and I wanted to play it on the go.
And now it's here! Plays exactly like the PC version. Actually, it plays better because of a touch screen instead of a mouse.
Wonder how the new minigames will look like. VS mode is not really something I can use.

Versus mode, here I come!

I looked around and it should be in it. There's also an achievement for 'growing the wisdom tree *something* feet'.
Don't know for sure if that's the (Zen) Garden 'cause I haven't really played the PC version that much.

 

[Hypershad12]

Played the iPhone version, and that was a pain in the neck. Might as well try this one.

 

[JoyConG]

Still though, you'd expect something like it. This is an eyesore.

I loved the Zombie animation on the top though.

Wow picky much? It's a great looking game.

So many people are graphics whores these days, it's sad.

Gameplay>graphics for me anytime

Thats why i love retrogames

That's all well and good.. But what if you can have both?

The other versions look great and play better.

All this version does is add a few touch gimmicks and a questionable vs mode..

Still, if you look at it alone it's a solid game. I woulda made it the first popcap outing of 3DS; a budget title at launch from popcap would have KILLED


Still finishing it (the campaign is short); if you've never played this game and can't get the PC/iOS version then this isn't bad

 

[craplame]

This game looks really fun.

 

[matt1freek]

I really don't understand the scene. Why is it that the Team Crippler release isn't acknowledged as an official release? It's not like you need a special license to dump DS ROMs. Aren't they both totally clean dumps anyway?

Not real sure how it works... my dump of FFV is still considered official AFAIK

 

[Fireballo]

I'll be playing this for a while. It's more fun than desktop tower defense.
