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.
Josephine Lawton · Mar 08, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewPlants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a masterclass in sequel creation, an example of what happens when you listen to criticism and strive to create a fun game more than an addictive business model, something people want to spend time and money on as opposed to something they feel compelled to do.
Jim Sterling · Feb 27, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIt feels like a little piece of cosmic justice that while the Medal of Honor reboot failed to make any inroads with that audience, Garden Warfare somehow became a runaway success that warranted a full-priced, fully featured sequel. While a potential third Garden Warfare will need to do more than simply pile on additional plants and modes to justify itself, this quirky shooter's second installment ought to stay green for a good long while to come.
Brad Shoemaker · Feb 26, 2016 Reviewed onRead full reviewUnder 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.
Dave Rudden · Feb 23, 2016 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1Read full reviewFinding challenges to take on, even when you don’t want to play online, is easy, and everything feeds into your leveling and unlocks regardless of where you are playing. The new classes add worthwhile abilities (and character designs), the new modes keeping things moving (and are often weird), and the combat is interesting, without venturing into the cumbersome or complicated.
Kyle Hilliard · Feb 23, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Maybe 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.
Steve Watts · Feb 23, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewEven 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.
Stefan L · Feb 23, 2016 Reviewed on PC, PS4Read full reviewPlants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 does a great job of addressing most criticisms and fan issues with the original game, but often feels so concerned about fixing those particular issues that it doesn't add anything that pushes the actual gameplay forward. The result is a game that feels like it should have been the first entry in the series, using the first Garden Warfare as a beta test.
Mitchell Saltzman · Feb 22, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewIf you dug the original this is probably right up your alley. As I said earlier, for parents I can see this being a preferable shooter for younger teens over Halo or CoD. There’s a value in that for consumers. I just wish publisher EA and developer PopCap Games put their considerable resources and talent into a game that made me want to play a game with a fuller experience.
Peter Paras · Feb 19, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewThe Garden Warfare franchise started off as a pleasant surprise, and the sequel improved upon almost every issue I had with the first game. It is a surprisingly competent shooter that breaks the mold, both stylistically and thematically from other titles in the genre. The added single player components and all around improvements make this a worthy sequel that no one should miss.

Esta wea no es planta vz zombies.
Reviewed on PS4Probably one of the most enjoyable games I have played in my life. The gameplay is amazing, and the level up system for each character was excellent, and the maps were balanced. For the most part zombies and plants were balanced, and the constant updates brought changes to characters and also added characters, which made the game very fun.
