Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville Reviews
Even at times Battle for Neighborville seems like a elaborate remaster of Garden Warfare 2, but there is still a lot of fun to be had. However, some of the game's more obvious issues cannot be ignored, including its unbalanced online matchmaking.

To my surprise, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is one of my favorite multiplayer shooters of 2019. I never thought I’d say that, but here we are.
Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is a great addition to this friendly shooter franchise that expands the scope of the series further than ever before.
Players who have been fans of the prior games in the series will see much to like in the game as the world is fun, visually appealing, and inviting and lots of fun to play.
Plants vs Zombies:Battle for Neighborville didn't have much marketing leading up to its release. Admittedly this might be the exact thing it was missing to make it fully enjoyable as there are hardly any players.
Minor issues aside, Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville takes the safe approach in doing things right. It adds in a few minor classes, tweaks a few gameplay variants to add in a change of pace, and continues on with a comical storyline that fans of all ages can enjoy despite the comic book mischief.
Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is an odd game – much like the franchise as a whole. The game doesn’t take itself very seriously, and if you can forgive the obvious lapses in map balance and the general Overpowered nature of some characters, there is much fun to be had here.
Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville is a great game to play with children and youth, but it may not have enough content to keep adult players around in this competitive gaming market.
Battle for Neighborville is one of the quirkiest multiplayer shooters I have played in a long time. While the game is not really up my alley (I do prefer the nitty-gritty of Call of Duty over this), I appreciate its appeal and its unrelenting focus on being as silly as it can be. I also see how it appeals to a larger audience than all of the Call of Duty games. Ultimately, the game is an enjoyable romp that can be played in short bursts. It may not be entirely my thing, but I will admit that I found the whole experience oddly satisfying. It is a game I would return to, time and time again.
Even if the Switch version of Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is far from perfect, I’m really glad it exists. Not only does it show that more complex multiplayer shooters can properly run on and find a fanbase on Nintendo’s system, but it also shows what EA can achieve with the system when some extra effort is put into a game’s coding.
I had a lot of fun with a surprisingly well-made Switch version of Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville.

With intuitive gameplay, charismatic characters and many features, it's hard not to be charmed by Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. The problems are practically insignificant when compared to the length and refinement of the title, which has a high replay factor, even more if we consider that it is in its Complete Edition. It is with high spirits and very good humor, this is one of the best shooters available on Switch.

I used to love the original Plants vs Zombies game on the Xbox 360, planting my plants and killing those zombies, as you do. The game has evolved so, so much since then and the feud continues today with Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville Complete Edition on the Nintendo Switch.
Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is brimming with content, both offline and multiplayer online. Even if you are only interested in one of the two, you'll find plenty to do. The port to Switch can be considered a success, as only the local co-op split screen seems to be missing. It's quite a feat to pack this much content into one package.

Plants vs. Zombies has always had potential on consoles, but it seems Battle for Neighborville has finally found the winning formula. Battle for Neighborville builds on its predecessors' fun mechanics and adds a massive new world to explore that takes advantage of its strengths, all the while never forgetting the lighthearted approach that made us fall in love with the franchise in the first place. Battle for Neighborville is a rollicking good time, and we can't wait to spend more time in this vibrant and whimsical world.
While one has to wonder at the overlong reluctance EA had to bringing this seemingly perfectly-matched family-friendly shooting franchise to the Switch, Plants Vs...
Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is a solid sequel. It has everything one would expect a sequel to have, such as better visuals, engine upgrades, additional characters to play, new areas to explore, and an evolution to the campaign gameplay. Honestly, it was surprising how much this game packed in when it comes to brand new content, especially for a generous $40 price point, as opposed to most other titles with a cost of $60.
Online shooters don't get much more charming than Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville.
Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is Garden Warfare 3 in all but name. But that doesn’t really matter when the product looks and plays so good, and has plenty of fresh new content.
Very nice graphics and animations and good gameplay for both sides. But there is not enough players and multiplayer is chaotic.
