Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Reviews
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a nice improvement over its predecessor's solid foundation, featuring more characters, more modes and more content. The single-player additions are welcome though still a bit lacking and the time commitment required to unlock and level up all your characters can be a bit daunting. The gameplay, however, continues to be addicting and is suited for both kids and adults. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly shooter, Garden Warfare 2 delivers.
Garden Warfare 2 looks great, boasts a huge roster of inventive characters and contributes much to the social shooter genre. Single-player and PvE content is lacking, however, and this exacerbates the already glacial pace of progression.
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 is a great upgrade from the original, but has some issues to work out.
All the frenetic excitement of Garden Warfare, but with more characters, more maps, more modes and a ton more fun. Slow movement and some minor balance issues cramp the style, but if you're looking for an online shooter with more belly laughs than headshots give the zombie meatheads and violent veg a spin.
A characterful and generous shooter, though its lack of balance is a thorn in its side.
It feels more like an expansion than a sequel, and misses some easy opportunities to improve on the original, but this is still the best family-friendly shooter outside of Splatoon.
Maybe the same solid foundation with more robust content is all Garden Warfare 2 needs to be. The package feels more whole and satisfying, and while that may dampen my thoughts on the first game a bit, it's really only by comparison to this one. If Garden Warfare was the seed, this sequel is the harvest.
Garden Warfare 2 is an undeniably fun shooter that, unlike the first entry, offers a lot more to do alone or with a couch player
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2's solo quests, hub world, and robust split-screen options make it a significant improvement over its predecessor.
Under its attractively bright and cartoony art style, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 has a great amount of modes and customization options to enjoy, whether alone against the AI or with online allies and enemies. The interesting abilities options of the six new character classes gave me something to sink my teeth into, and the customization options are a great reward for playing outside my comfort zone. The sheer amount of enjoyment in this full garden will keep me in the war for some time to come.
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 offers good combination of multiplayer third-person shooter gameplay and platformer collect-a-thons of days past.
Perfectly bridges the gap between casual games and hardcore shooters.
PopCap have gone out of their way to cater to the solo player, and while the story questing is a disjointed affair, having AI to play with in every part of the game is excellent. However, even with other additions like the Backyard Battleground and new characters, this largely feels like more of the same. It's not as exciting and refreshing as two years ago, but that's not too big a complaint when it's more co-op defence and liberally borrowed and adapted multiplayer, all slathered in the quirky Plants vs. Zombies universe.
Popcap has improved upon the template they laid out with Garden Warfare, fleshing out the sequel with an array of things with which you can wile away your time. It's excellent family friendly fun but genuinely great to play for all ages. Get it, play it with your little ones, and play it on your own. You'll love it.
It's literally everything you could want in a party game – and for the first time in quite a while, you can bring the kids, too.
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a rock-em-sock-em blast and a half, a colorful and always entertaining game that keeps you playing, hour after hour.
With Garden Warfare 2, PopCap builds upon the success of the original Garden Warfare by adding much needed meat to its bare bones in the form a new solo campaign and 6 new character classes, but fails to evolve the actual gameplay in any meaningful way.
A textbook multiplayer sequel, Garden Warfare 2 builds upon the solid class-based shooting of its predecessor, while both refining the core mechanics and adding a shedload of new content.
The first game was a real surprise to me at its time of release, but the second game has managed to recreate this sense of awe, providing a game much more diverse and bigger in scale. Garden Warfare 2 is a colorful and fun experience that will appeal to many, providing a much needed breather in a genre that sometimes forgets it doesn’t always have to take itself seriously.
If you are looking for "toddler's first shooter," then you have come to the right place. Plants vs.
