Added a new gamemode, known as herbal assault, which is the opposite of gardens and graveyards. It added new characters, gave the game an actual Campaign, and made me so hyped when gargs appeared. (Only true fans know who gargs is) In all, it changed everything, most of it for the better. But then BFN showed up, and took a big dumpy shit all over the rest of the franchise.

As someone living in the Philippines when PvZ 3 came out in our region, I played it for about a few days then uninstalled it. Sure enough they listened to some level of criticism- sunflowers re-added, landscape mode, more levels, but it still felt very barren and cashgrabby. At least PvZ 2 was playable to completion and had much replayability with endless modes and events, but here it felt like the game was holding your hand all the way through and there was no variety, essentially ruining the strategy aspect as well. Perhaps it was good that the game was taken off the store for an nth time, seems like at this point Popcap/EA are trying to trial and error their way through this one, but I feel the main issue is they're changing too much to try and be original or pander to new audiences, like with BFN.

I have to disagree with what was said about plants vs zombies garden warfare 2. It wasn't just pvzgw1 with more characters. It also added an engaging hub world and a surprisingly fun campaign. However, where the game really shined was with its secrets. Some of my favorite gaming experiences are with grinding out the trials of gnomus or finding a hidden golden gnome until eventually opening up the first part of the vault. As well as all that, the tower defense mode had received a huge update with you now being able to play as zombies in grave yard ops. They also added a new game mode that played similar to a tower defense in the form of infinity time. Finally, the events were loads of fun. around once a week, the town hall would open up and you would be able to play some sort of exclusive game mode whether that be robo cats vs robo dinos or, my personal favorite, the "raid bosses". there were four incredibly challenging bosses that you would only get a chance at once a month. During these times you would grind up your XP multipliers in preparation for the fight. Out of the four bosses, I only beat two in my 600+ hours of game play. Needless to say, the game had much more depth than the original. Battle for neighbor ville not only lost the character varients and stick packs, but also the depth in secrets which was a much larger deal for me.

Wow this is wild, my mom and I got the original release Plants vs Zombies in 2009 and played it relentlessly. We loved it. Though we did end up tiring of it after figuring out a defense protocol that always resulted in success, so it lost the challenge for us. But it was really fun for awhile. I had no idea it had sequel games and different iterations. oh ps Popcap games were so fun, we used to play Insaniquarium, Dynomite!, Book Worm, and Bejeweled all the time.

I loved this game. I remember playing that first game for hours in my computer, and when they released the pvz2 I was really upset because they didn't released the game for PC and I hadn't any android mobile to play pvz2 so I sometimes played it on my friends smartphones but all in all it was great to have that first game in my mind.
