Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare (Xbox One)

Before I start, I'd just like to say, I didn't play very much of the original tower defence game. Never been a huge fan of tower defence games but I have certainly enjoyed them at times! Plants vs Zombies isn't a game you'd expect to expand it's brand into an online warfare game, but rather a player vs player competitive mode. Surprisingly it does online warfare very well. Not a game I put much thought into considering playing, but with a number of games to play for only £3.99 on EA Access, it was something I had to try. I'm so happy I did, because I have had so much fun on this game, more than I ever did on the very competitive Call of Duty series. There's so many different game modes so you could never get bored of playing, you could just simply switch from Team Vanquish (Team Deathmatch) to Garden ops were you are a team of four fighting off waves of Zombies trying to destroy your garden. Another great thing about this game is there are so many different classes to play as, with four for each of the teams. You have the standard soldier for each, the medic with healing abilities etc. My favourite thing about the whole game is the rank system. Each class for both plant and zombie has their own individual rank which then contributes to your overall rank. Each time you rank up with a character your overall rank increases too. The difference here to most online warfare games, is that you don't rank up by gaining experience,  but by completing challenges that are specific to each character, So you could possibly see your overall rank rise more than once during a match. It's a very fun and colourful game, with lots of great maps with plenty to explore. The game is incredibly enjoyable and never boring as I find myself constantly playing to try and increase my rank or fight off waves of zombies on harder difficulties. A nice little homage to the original game is that it lets you plant defensive plant pots to help stop the zombies and lets the zombies spawn other zombies to attack for them. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who loves online shooters and unique games. 8.4/10
