Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Reviews
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 isn't a perfect game, by any means. However, unlike other titles, Garden Warfare 2 revels in its imperfections, making it all of its minor flaws, imbalances, and awful puns a joy for the player. But before you pick up the title, make sure you are lighthearted enough to enjoy it.
Funny but focused on 'content' rather than ideas
Garden Warfare 2 will be fun for those who enjoy the tower defense genre. Anyone else will want to stay away from this game that suffers from lackluster controls in third person shooting and a missed opportunity to create a much larger world to explore.
Garden Warfare 2 fleshes out the team-based shooting antics of the original with new characters, fresh game modes, and a richer single-player experience.
A silly alternative to the modern shooter, Garden Warfare 2 doesn't take itself too seriously and is all the better for it.
Although it might not be dragging people away from Call of Duty or the giants of the genre, PvZ: Garden Warfare 2 has a great atmosphere and some really enjoyable moments. If you've ever wanted to do battle as a piece of corn, sunflower or superhero zombie, this might be the only game to fill that niche.
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 builds on the original brilliantly. It takes everything its predecessor did right and does it again with more bells and whistles. There's new characters, levels and quests to explore and the sticker and levelling system have been tweaked to make acquiring the masses of new content feel achievable. The addition of single player quests and AI companions for Garden and Graveyard Ops make it a viable choice for when you just don't fancy playing with others or you want to power level a character you aren't too comfortable with playing in multiplayer. The current balance issues are an annoyance but the developers have already reassured users that this will be fixed soon; leaving little to criticise in this frantic, fun and family-friendly shooter.
What Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 has managed to take all of the best bits from the first game, build on them and then add more good things on top of them. All of our favourite characters are back, whilst the newer characters that have been introduced are fun to play. One of the biggest improvements is the addition of the Backyard Battleground hub base, and the addition of the single player focused quests, missions and collectibles means that this game appeals to both single and multiplayer gamers more than ever. The bright colours and fun gameplay are ever present and there isn't a lot going wrong here apart from some issues with the sound and music. For fans of the first Garden Warfare game, this sequel is a must play. For those who haven't had the chance to experience the plants and zombies war yet, it's hard to find a reason not to recommend this game.
Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 verbessert sich deutlich gegenüber den ersten Teil des Taktik-Shooters und bietet bis auf leichte balancing Probleme im Multiplayer eigentlich nur durchgehend gute Neuerungen. Vor allem der Singleplayer Part und Co-Op Modus überzeugen durchgehend und erweitern der bisher schon sehr guten Multiplayer Titel um einen großartigen Singleplayer Part. Von uns gibt es eine klare Empfehlung.

If you're a fan of the previous games in the series than you probably should check out Garden Warfare 2 that has enough bang for its buck to keep things fresh. This freshness includes new maps, classes, perks and modes for players to master. Add in a great local multiplayer split-screen mode and this is one versatile title with some really fun gameplay.
Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 improves upon the original in nearly every way imaginable. With expanded modes and character classes and the inclusion of a solo campaign rife with humor and collectibles, PVZ: GW2 firmly plants its roots amongst the titans of the Third-Person Shooter pantheon. For fans of POPCap and shooters in general, there is no other game that offers as much fun, whimsy, humor, and satisfaction as PVZ: GW2. Despite some balancing issues between the plants and zombies teams in multiplayer and the inclusion of micro-transactions ,this is a game for the ages that can be enjoyed by all players.
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 offers more of the same multiplayer action and enjoyable presentation with a few new features coming to fruition. It's charming and accessible, though the game doesn't break any new ground.
Remember when online shooters were fresh and fun? Garden Warfare 2 certainly does.
A massive improvement over its predecessor but is held back by a grind-heavy progression system.
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 manages to bottle up something magical and succeed a second time in a row.
Fast becoming my favorite online shooter of choice, Garden Warfare 2 is lovable, preposterous, and completely rampageous. Never though I'd say this about an EA game, but it's everything a modern premium experience should be.
This oddball shooter sequel piles on more of everything from the first game, which is exactly what that game needed.
'Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2' is less of a sequel and more of a big expansion, but that's not a bad thing. PopCap has made some big steps forward in cementing the 'Garden Warfare' series as a real contender in the multiplayer arena, if not competitively then at least for sheer enjoyment. 'Garden Warfare 2' is big, fun, and mostly worth the price of admission.
A bright, colourful and tasty blend of all your favourite multiplayer shooters, it will leave you with a big smile on your face and feeling good inside.
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 improves upon its evergreen predecessor by expanding the scope of the title with single player content and new classes and modes. Popcap has responded to the criticisms pointed at the original release well, and while this isn't a revolution by any stretch, the format has been precisely pruned for shear joy.
