| It's about Time! I have been waiting for the sequel for what seems like years...and yes, it has really been years! I first played Plant Vs Zombies way back in 2009 when it was still fresh, and while waiting for the sequel, completed the entire Zen Garden, replayed the game 5 times, accumulated every single trophy and was still playing the game on long bus rides while travelling and while waiting for people. What an epic! It was also the best paid game I downloaded, and it offered hours upon hours of entertainment, even providing the much needed dumbing down of my brain so I could go to sleep easily each night. The Sequel is no different, I have been on the game for two entire days so I could complete the levels, and this time, the game download is FREE! How does Popcap monetize the game then? You can buy coins for powerups, special plants or even plush toys!
|  Do you see the chinese bok choy in the screen? It's one of the new plants that really pack a punch, literally!

 How cute is this? The Snapdragon plant is a fire breather that spans 3 lanes with a depth of 2 squares. They kill normal zombies really quickly too. | At the moment, there are 3 worlds, with more worlds being rolled out as they are developed. After playing the game for two days, I managed to unlock all 3 worlds, Ancient Eygpt, Pirate Seas and the Wild West. A tower defense styled game, it includes little "incidents" and mini games to break the monotony of just trying to pass level after level. This time round, a host of new plants appear and they are all too cute! One of my current favourites, Snapdragon is featured here. |
| You need to collect stars( you will have to complete the game once in order to make the other levels/stars appear) in order to open the Star Gate that will bring you into another timezone / world, and the challenges are certainly not easy. At some levels, you will see three stars appear, and while the zombies of that level are the same, you will need to get the star by performing some seemingly impossible tasks. This game is fun as it involves some planning and strategy. The number of stars required to open the gate into the new world is in that blue circle next to the gate, so start earning stars real fast. |  You need to collect stars to open the star gate and keys to unlock extra levels. For keys, they randomly appear in the game, after you kill a zombie. For stars, simply complete the level. |
 | I feel that this time round, it is much easier to complete the game, as there are many items that you can utilize, from powerups ( Look at the 3 buttons next to to shovel at the bottom of the screen ) to plant food. What are the powerups available to you in the game? Make sure you get plenty of coins - you are going to need them for some levels where it is impossible to complete without the powerups. 3 powerups are available at the moment - you can pinch the zombies so they die, toss them off the game board or electrocute them to a second death. Plant food makes each plant food behave differently, and I find myself liking the corn and cabbage putt with their mass bombing. |
Spoiler Alert - What does plant food do for the New plants in Plant Vs Zombies 2?
