Pea-shooting Zombies On The Go With iPhone/iPod

Andrew Stein, Director of Mobile platforms from PopCap Games made the following comment, “Plants vs. Zombies for iPhone and iPod Touch marks the first adaptation of our wildly popular ‘flower defense’ game to a new platform, and we’re excited at how well it has translated to the iPhone and iPod touch. We’ve stayed true to the original computer version with the full-featured gameplay of Adventure mode, and have optimized this adaptation around a seamless touch interface. Plus, we’ve added great content, including the new Quick Play Arena which allows easy replay of any level after completing the Adventure mode, and more than a dozen achievements to reward successful completion of in-game challenges.”

Here are the features that you will see in the iPhone/iPod version of Plants vs. Zombies:

  • The Quick Play Arena allows easy replay of any level after completing the 50 levels in Adventure mode
  • More than a dozen achievements to reward successful completion of in-game challenges
  • More than four dozen plants, from cherry bombs and peashooters to melon-pults, wall-nuts and sunflowers
  • Dozens of different zombie types, including back-from-the-dead miners, businessmen, football players and even a zombie bobsled team
  • Suburban almanac tracks your progress and provides vital stats on plant and zombie types
  • Crazy Dave’s trunk-o’-the-car shop where you can purchase new plants, power-ups, and other zombie-exterminating tools
  • New fluid animation technology creates even more visually appealing plants and zippier zombies
  • 11 original musical pieces that mirror the increasing intensity of the gameplay

My Take:

If you haven’t played Plants vs. Zombie for the PC, then I do not know what to tell you other than to play the game. Also having Plants vs. Zombie on the go is extremely awesome, but my only concern is how well it will interact with the touch screen and how sensitive the movement will be. Other than that, this is a must have for any Plants vs. Zombies fan.
