History YMMV / PlantsVsZombies

* PortingDisaster: Not too major. Just that for the iPad and iPhone version, [[WallBanger they decided to pre-render the ending in Quicktime Movie format, which made the game four times bigger than the PC version, and it lacks some of the minigames found in the PC version]]. Yep, the Zombiequarium minigame, among some others is missing from the iDevice versions. They just added Game Center support to a release made on January 15th tho, but better late than never. The said missing minigames, however, remains missing. Popcap Employee Tropers, we salute you! Now, please implement the missing minigames!

** Stage 4-10. The stage is in complete darkness which you cannot see your plants or the incoming zombies until lightning illuminates the lawn for a few seconds.
*** It is also a conveyor level.
** Same thing for level 5-5, which is where you're fighting against oncoming waves of [[GoddamnedBats bungee zombies]] relying on nothing but Chompers, Pumpkins, Flower Pots, and Cherry Bombs.
*** Well, Crazy Dave sums it up at the start of the level.
---->'''Crazy Dave:''' You're gonna hate this level. It's one bungee zombie after another. Good luck.

** The Jack-in-the-Box Zombie can instantly destroy your fences.

** And the football [[strike: player]] zombie...
** And that pole-vaulting zombie!
*** Tall-Nuts and Magnet-Shrooms take care of those three. The Gargantuar, however, smashes through all of them without much problem.
** The Jack-in-the-Box Zombie can destroy above mentioned defense as well as part of your lawn defense especially if you make liberal use of Gloom-shrooms.

*** {{YMMV}} on that, since the Dancing Zombie was an obvious tribute to {{Michael Jackson}}'s ''Thriller'', where he plays the role of a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin dancing zombie]] on the music video.

** YourMileageMayVary, as the new disco zombie is at least amusing, and makes for a clever VisualPun regarding [[DeaderThanDisco disco being... well, dead]].

** There is also the DS version, which had watered down graphics and animation from the original, as well as replacing Big Trouble Little Zombie with Heat Wave. It also carried a $20 price tag, which many reviewers say is too expensive. Other than that, it still retains the gameplay most features from the other versions.

** Especially if you are facing them in the fog levels where you cannot see where they are coming from.

*** Using Hypno-shroom on a Dancing Zombie in the iDevice version doesn't turn any already-spawned backup dancers tho, only newly spawned ones. Which makes the existing backup dancers GoddamnedBats, since by the time the Dancing Zombie is done with the backup that spawned behind him, chances are he's already out of most of his life (having being attacked by your plants before you turned him of course). And he won't summon another set of backup dancers (which will be on your side this time around) unless he's been hypnotized for a while. This troper tends to lose his hypnotized Dancing Zombie before it would even summon new dancers.

** Also, one of the "Brainssss..." sound sample, specifically the one said in a low creepy voice. The other sample, however...

Yep, the Zombiequarium minigame, among some others is missing from the iDevice versions, and apparently it's no longer maintained either -- [[TheyJustDidntCare when iOS 4 came out for the devices, they had not even bothered to release an upgrade to integrate the game into Game Center]]. Comparatively, Rovio released an upgrade for ''Angry Birds'' to integrate it into Game Center when iOS 4 was released.

* NightmareRetardant: The other "Brainsss?" and short "Brains!" sound samples, which are {{narm}}ish instead, as it sounded like it was said by someone who got clubbed in the head shortly prior.

** "[[HellIsThatNoise The zombies... are coming...]]"

** Using the Hypno-shroom on any sufficiently powerful zombie.

* DemonicSpiders: Gargantuars are [[GiantMook large]], powerful zombies that can instantly kill any plant (except the [[SpikesOfDoom Spikerocks]]), are able to take a TON of damage, can survive [[OneHitKill instant-kill plants]] and can deploy a small, albeit weaker zombie deep into your defenses. Fortunately for you, [[MightyGlacier they are kind of slow]]...

* StopHavingFunGuys: Mostly more from the people who've scored over 100+ on endless survival and have used [[GameBreaker specific plants]] tend to think that everyone else should play it according to specific strategies they used.
