Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville Standard Edition - Xbox One

I'm a big fan of PvZ GW1 and GW2 and have mastered both those games to Elite Level/Max rank. I was excited when word came out that there was a new installment for this franchise. I was one of the selected few that "Alpha Picnic" this game before launch. Here's my take...1) it is completely different from GW1 and GW2. The character movement is different and it takes a while to get used to 2) The gameplay is very chaotic and fast paced 3) the map seems to be all over the place 4) there is considerable lag. This tells me that this game was rushed to be released and they didnt have the hardware to backup online players. EA is to blame for this and network/hardware optimization is needed 5) there is considerable balancing required as there are over powered characters that dominates the game 6) this is another one of those "Grind" games to reach high level and maximize characters strengths As of right now, I will rate this game below average as I'm still adjusting to the game play and to level my high expectation of this new game. In addition to a very buggy game that still needs a lot of work and updating, again, going back to rushing the release of this game. Perhaps, I will come back later and update this review but as of right now, I really cant recommend this esp if you are expecting the same game play from GW1 and GW2.

My teenager really enjoys playing this game . Glad I bought it for him.

I bough this game for my daughter I don’t understand why she love it lol

Purchased for my grandson it is one of the games that we play together. We have played them all this one is so much fun for all ages.

Great game and visuals especially for the little ones!

I bought this game for my son for Christmas and he loves it. He hasn’t stopped playing for like two weeks. Come to think of it, I haven’t talked to him in two weeks. I don’t think I’ve seen him come out of his room. I just keep sliding Capri Suns and pizza rolls under his door. Maybe the cat is eating the pizza rolls? Hmmmm...... Well, In any case, of your looking for a good FPS that will teach your kids the fundamentals needed to excel in a more adult FPS’, this game is a learning tool.

The newest entry in the Plants vs. Zombies franchise is pretty good. My son and I have some great dad & son time with the Plants vs. Zombies games in both pvp and co-op so it was worht it for that alone. The maps are more complex and detailed than Garden Warfare 2 and there are new characters as well. I agree with other reviewers that this could have been a better game in the franchise, but overall it is still fun and enjoyable to play. I got it when it was on sale/deal of the day for $15 and it is well worth it when you can get it in the $20 price range.

I purchased these so my son and I could play with each other. He doesn’t live with me full time, and during the COVID-19 shutdown we, unfortunately, were not able to see each other as often as we would like. We play for hours on end and both really enjoy it. It has various gameplay options so you can go into online multiplayer battles like a kid-friendly COD or play through various campaign like modes. Great game.
