Plants Vs. Zombies

For some reason, the original thread is gone.

Just posted my review of the Nintendo DS version. Enjoy.

That thread was too old, that's why.

Just started the game.

Whoo wee, this game really is damn addictive, all right.

Say, how many Sunflower/Sun shrooms do you guys plant? I always go with three rows.

I do 2 rows. I can't really imagine 3, honestly.

I'm fine with one row of doubles, usually. :/

Well, I transition into that.

Two rows, heavy artillery, light artillery, miscellaneous, barrier, trap.

Oh. Well, I thought everyone did 3, for some reason.

I guess I just value logistics.

I just got Tall Nut last stage. It's awesome.

One row of doubles, 1-2 Heavy, 1-2 Light, The eating thing, Tallnut, one row of empty, traps. And my water is always filled with Cattails.

Plant six or eight Cattails and you can eliminate the rest of your plants and sit back while they annihilate everything.

Yeah, I heard that it's pretty much the best one. I can't wait to get it.

Even bobsleds? To be honest though I forgot what cattails do.

I only use 2 rows of Sunflowers. Not too little, and I have more room for my attacking plants.

Catails fire 2 shots that home in on the closest zombie, no matter what row they're in. Pretty handy, but they're terrible for handling hoards of zombies though.

Just played three level with the fog.

Whoo boy, I am not getting used to it just yet. I even lost two lawnmowers last time. Urgh, I must be doing something wrong here.

I think I am going to try using sunflower at night, just because.

EDIT: Conclusion: Sunflower > Sun shroom. Man, I feel like a total idiot.

By the way, did I say that I freaking LOVE Tall Nut? Because I freaking love Tall nut.

I prefer using ground spikes (forgot what the plant's name was) as my bobsled deterrent of choice. Meanwhile, they also hurt all incoming walkers.

Ground spikes are awesome. They don't get attacked and do constant AOE damage. Sometimes I try to clear missions using only spikes, cause it's fun.

There's also something innately hilarious about a zombie stepping on so many spikes that his helmet suddenly falls off.

Spikeweed? Yeah, it's a neat plant. Too bad they can get hurt by Zombonis and Garguantars, which they can't do anything against. On the other hand, Spikerocks (That's not even a plant) can make great Garguantar shields.

Don't Spikeweed destroy Zombonis as they would for any vehicle?

Zombonis and the basketball flinging dude, yes. Even if they take out the Spikeweed, it's also a one-hit-kill on the zombie (which would otherwise take a while to kill since they're armored targets), so I think it's a pretty good tradeoff.

Gargantuars, on the other hand... yeah, not so effective. Although they do have to stop for a moment to do their smashy thing, so it buys my other plants just a little bit more time to take it out before it tramples over anything else.

Naw man, sunshrooms>sunflowers. Cost half as much and give 60% as many resources, then 100%.

Sunflowers are cuter, and can be upgraded.

I go with one row, at least for adventure. Is that alright?

Probably too little. Hey, any news on the sequel?

There is a sequel? I didn't know that.

Allow me to gush about Tall Nut just a bit more. TN in itself is strong. But when you add the pumpkin shell on it, you got yourself an Iron Diaper. NOTHING gets through the Iron Diaper, except those bastards with ladders. Sometimes I would like to place TWO of them, and even THREE of them. THAT, is what I personally like to call a defensive overkill.

It's been released in Australia, making it the first time ever that a game was released there first. XD

Put a magnet shroom nearby. Ladders? What ladders?
