Hi again! It’s me, Jeff from PopCap. You might remember me from such blog posts as the one I wrote on January 28th in this very space, announcing that Plants Vs Zombies was coming to the PlayStation Network! If you missed that announcement, don’t worry, since I just said it again in that last sentence. So now you’re totally caught up with everyone else and don’t have to feel all left out and ornery! Yay!
So now that we’re all caught up, I have even better news for you today: Plants Vs. Zombies is available NOW (read: soon!) on PSN for a measly $14.99. In a short time, you can close this window this second and start pummeling those infernal, annoying, and dentally-challenged zombies with your loyal, brave army of peashooters and cabbage-pults and gloom shrooms right from the comfort of your very own PlayStation!
I know you want details, rather than more of my dribble, so here’s what I can tell you. Plants Vs Zombies has:
- 50 Adventure levels. The complete, original game.
- Five modes. Adventure, Puzzle, Mini-Games, Survival, and everyone’s favorite, the bliss-inducing Zen Garden.
- Co-op and Versus Play. Team up with a friend or challenge them by each choosing a side—plants or zombies.
- 21 mini-games. Fight the fun-dead in minigames like Zombatany, Wall-nut Bowling and Heavy Weapon.
- Interactive leaderboard. Upgrade to bigger & better houses as you progress and stroll through the leaderboard neighborhood to see your friends’ digs.
- 12 Trophies. Earn awesome ornaments to decorate your lawn.
And that’s really all I know. I’ll be happy to stick around to answer questions. Just try to keep it relatively civil because my therapist says I need to avoid hostile situations ever since I punched that stupid old lady next to me on the plane because she wouldn’t give me the armrest.
Oh yeah, and enjoy the game!
BUG REPORT! Heya Jeff, can you please submit this to the tech dudes over at popcap :) We’ve just had the time of our lives completing the story mode and with 2 trophies left the game freezes everytime we try to go to the zen garden. The last thing i did was to buy a “change house” for 300. A bummer when you’re so close to getting the tree of life too 100ft :) Ive seen atleast one other guy on the intertubes with this problem also.
This game is great!! The use of the PS3 controller is so much better to play the game with plus my family loves co-op mode! I’m just trying to figure out why using my zen garden causes my ps3 to reboot, making me have to restart the game. If anyone knows how to fix this please please let us know!!
Ah, there is “the other dude” :)
Okay so I have this for my pc and mac… I got it for my sister and she loves it. She bought it for her PSN and says it is cumbersome to use the controller. $14.99 is about retail. Target had the game of the year edition for 19.99 and on sale for S14.99
Steam had it on sale…
The only thing for me is that this is too late for me to buy at regular price… I waited for it to get to the ps3 and it never cam so I bought it and am sick of companies ignoring PS3users.. so I say if you agree with me punish these people for not considering us…
I didn’t buy castle crashers for that reason
