History VideoGame / PlantsVsZombies

The game was first released for the PC. Later, a version of it was made for the [[IOSGames iPhone and iPad]]. A faithful version was later made for [[{{Xbox360}} Xbox Live]], adding a multiplayer mode. After that, it was ported to the DS, with somewhat watered down graphics due to the DS's low-res screen. There's also an Android version, and it was the deal that catapulted the Amazon Appstore to a serious competitor to Google's Android Market. There's also a [[PlayStationThree Playstation Network]] version. And a [[Nintendo3DS Nintendo 3DS eShop's]] version.

** If you hit Dancing Zombie with a Hyno Shroom, he becomes ''your'' Mook Maker.

** The digger zombie can tunnel beneath all your defenses, but once it reach the other side of the lawn... it turns around and start eating the plants in your back row. (Apparently it got confused while spinning like a top to emerge.) Problematic, but not as much as if it'd just go directly for the house.

** If you hit Dancing Zombie with a Hyno Shroom, he becomes your Mook Maker.

** The conveyor belt missions aren't too bad because the plants don't scroll off the end of the belt and you can keep them for when you need them. The real Luck-Based Missions are the few where you have to plant them immediately or very quickly or lose them, such as "It's Raining Seeds" and "Vasebreaker".

* [[EverythingsBetterWithBacon Everything's Better with Bacon]]: Crazy Dave will pay you $1000 for that strip of bacon. Why? Because he's ''craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy!''

* FridgeHorror: One wonders where all those human brains in "I, Zombie" came from.

* CriticalExistanceFailure: All of the plants, and almost every zombie. Inverted by the newspaper zombie who will move faster once he is damaged enough.

** A more straight example: According to {{Word of God}}, the game was originally going to be called "[[TitleOfTheDead Lawn of the Dead]]", but was deemed too close to the title it was parodying and [[ScrewedByTheLawyers nixed by the lawyers]].

* {{Rule of Fun}}: Similarly, who cares where all these genetically modified war-plants came from? (Answer: [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys Bloom & Doom Seed Co.]] If it kills zombies, then all is well and good.)

* CrapsaccharineWorld: It's cute, it's funny, but it's still a ZombieApocalypse -- you and Crazy Dave are obviously among the few survivors.
** Actually, it's implied that a zombie invasion came with the property. Much like a realtor neglecting to tell you about the mouse infestation in your new house, only the mice want to eat your brains.

* AquaticMook: Some zombies have tubes to help them cross the pool, another snorkels, and the last one is in a wetsuit riding a dolphin. (Which is also a zombie, by the way).

** Squash and Potato Mines. A long recharge time but low sun cost makes them ideal for dealing with zombies while you set up, or even in tight spots.

''Plants Vs Zombies'' is an [[JustOneMoreLevel incredibly addicting]] TowerDefense game from, believe it or not, PopCapGames. That's right, they actually made a game that's ''not'' a puzzle game. And a darn good one, too. It's about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin plants fighting against a zombie invasion]].

** Zombonis. They're fast, have a lot of health, cannot be slowed and their attack [[OneHitKill instantly crushes your plants]]! Plus they leave behind an ice trail and unless you [[KillItWithFire kill it with fire]], it paves the way for bobsled zombies, creating a huge headache.
