While the graphics aren't nearly as good as the iPad version, this DS edition of Plants vs. Zombies nicely captures the spirit of the game. It has all of the gameplay of the original PC edition with added single or multi-card multiplayer options, five game modes, four all new mini-games and 14 achievements. In the game, a mob of zombies is about to invade your home and you must use strategically placed home guarding plants to stop them. Each plant has a different attribute, and they must be deliberately placed on the grid with the DS stylus in order to successfully stop each Zombie. Winning takes planning, logic, and fast hand-eye coordination. You can also create your own zombie with the Zombatar. Testers liked it. Note see also the iPad/iPod Touch version. See Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time for the iPad.
