DS #5385: Plants vs. Zombies (USA)

[PeregrinFig]

I've been filling the first two rows with sunflowers, and then I just use a squash or a tall-nut when zombies come before I'm ready. For my main defense, I put 2 lines of repeaters, with torchwood in front of them. In pool levels I also place 2 squash in front of the torch wood to keep the dolphin riders away, and I use tangle kelp to take down the snorkelers. It was working extremely well, but now I'm in the foggy nighttime pool levels and they've been significantly harder.

Also, is it just my imagination, or do tallnuts actually have more defense than wallnuts? It seems like it takes the zombies way longer to eat a tallnut.

Alright then:

Game's out, this thread can be closed.

The game labels the Tallnut's toughness as "very high" while the Wallnut's toughness is "high". So yeah, the Tallnut is stronger.
And according to the PvZ wiki, the Wallnut can withstand 72 bites, while the Tallnut can withstand 144 bites.

@ShadowSoldier, nice.

What the hell does the Taco do? I don't remember that being in the PC game.

edit: nvm, I love Crazy Dave

this is an amazing game to play on the go especially since it is touch screen controlled making it very accurate for the ds... quite strategic too, definitely gonna get this over the PC possibly due to size difference. I cant say that the experience of such a game on pc and ds is equal

Tested on SUpercard DS two, Works. fine, nothing wrong.

Amazing game. i was playing it for like 7 hours 2day.

Yay for official scene release

I already have the one Team Crippler dumped, but that was an independent release, but meh. It worked for me.It's "Team Crippler Whoopass!".


QUOTE(PeregrinFig @ Jan 16 2011, 07:47 PM) 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?

They're both clean, but "Great Crippler" (the guy who dumped the "Crippler Whoopass" release) isn't part of the scene, while RobotKillers are.

What does "part of the scene" even mean? Not active in the community of Homebrew/ROMs and such?

Great Crippler uploaded their ROM to an obscure trojan-infested piracy forum, while RobotKillers uploaded theirs to UseNet. I'm pretty sure that has something to do with it.

For once, ONCE that a thread was barely interesting... way to go, dude

the taco was in the PC version. you just sell it to crazy dave, that's it. It doesn't do anything

It's pretty fun. The graphics aren't great compared to the other ones out there, but hey it's really good nonetheless. Although, if you have an iPhone, I'd say it's the better choice for a portable PvZ experience.

 

[MigueelDnd]

I played the PC version, and it was pretty good! Then I got the iPhone version, and I didn't like it.... but I absolutely loved this game on the DS! Dunno why, though...

Am I the only one who loves the Squash? What I usually do is I play like 4-5 Sunflowers, when a Zombie comes, I'll use the squash so I save 50 sun, plant more sunflowers, then I start growing an army.

You can get four or five sunflowers out before the first zombie? I can only get three. I thought that was as much as you could get. o:

boxart is different

BRAAAIINNSS...

God damnit did this really have to come out. now im going to spend a whole bunch of time playing this.

PC version was awesome, wasted many hours playing. This version feels a little slow paced.

 

[VentusVanitas]

I highly recommended the iOS version, but while being the same, this iOS and DS versions are completely different. The iOS looks better, DS has more accurate controls. All things are substituted.

While the game isn't as good looking as it could be, it makes up for it in content. It has much more content than the iOS one. That said, both are excellent ports.

 

[Uthuriel]

OMG YESSSS!

 

[ShadowSoldier]

I highly recommended the iOS version over this. But for those without an iDevice, this is the perfect portable PvZ.

Strongly disagree. I've played the PC version, the iDevice version, and am currently half way through the adventure in this game, PC version is the best, then this version, then the iDevice version. The only reason why the people would recommend the iDevice version is because of the graphics -_-
