Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

96/100

Plants vs. Zombies 2 is the rare sequel that manages to be significantly larger and more complex than its predecessor without losing the charm of the original. PopCap has taken the lane-based tower defense formula and exploded it across time and space, introducing hundreds of new plants and zombies that keep the strategy constantly evolving.

The game's greatest strength is its variety. One moment you are dealing with tombstone-raising mummies in Ancient Egypt, and the next you are navigating the high seas in Pirate Seas. Each 'world' introduces unique environmental hazards that force you to rethink your plant choices. The 'Plant Food' mechanic adds a much-needed layer of reactive gameplay, allowing you to supercharge a plant at a critical moment to turn the tide of a battle.

While the game is free-to-play and features many microtransactions, the sheer volume of content available for free is staggering. Between the 11 main worlds, the Arena PvP mode, and the 'Thymed Events' that bring new challenges every few weeks, there is always something to do. It remains the absolute pinnacle of the tower defense genre on mobile.

5 Star But: Awesome In (Almost) All Ways…
Fri Oct 08 2021 Disappointed Former Loyal Fan

I love this game and I’ve been playing it for a number of years. Changes over the years with the inclusion of Arena competitions that change every few days and daily challenges, along with the continuous addition of new plants helps to keep things fresh, fun and engaging. I rarely leave reviews anywhere, but a relatively recent glitch has me writing one now. It has to do with playing Arena challenges. Every so often (but often enough that this is really becoming an issue), right in the middle of the game, the app just shuts down and kicks me off of the platform. And what ends up happening then is I lose the gauntlet required to play that game, and also the satisfaction of knowing whether or not I was actually going to win or not. This isn’t a huge issue overall, but it does mean I end up forfeiting a gauntlet when I may not have actually lost, and I also then don’t receive whatever prize I would have received for that game’s win. And as there’s no way to recoup that particular game or gauntlet, it just kind of feels like a rip off, tiny though it is. Over time, those small rip offs add up, you know? And the overall effect is….irritating, to say the least. I wish the developers would address this bug. I’m sure enough money is being made by them without having to nickel and dime loyal players here and there. Then this game would have my full-throated endorsement of a true 5 star game without the caveat in the title.

So this is going to make people mad but here it is. First of all this game is great and has tons of content for you to enjoy. Sure they may be a lot of in app purchases but the games has to make money somehow. But I’m really annoyed at all the dumb people in the reviews. So first of all no one cares if you spend money on the game or not. If you don’t want to pay 1 simple dollars to get rid of the ads that no one wants to here it. It is literally ONE DOLLAR! It’s really cheap. If you just paid 1 dollar then you would get no ads. Second of all if you are having trouble with pirate seas one of the most EASIEST worlds in the game then you will not be able to play any of the other worlds. If you can’t beat the second world then your an l. You are a loser. Third of all it’s not a play to win game because people that have all level one plants have beat it. If you can’t beat it that’s embarrassing and all it is, is that you have bad strategies and you don’t think. If you had a good strategy then you could easily beat the worlds. Also lastly, no one gives a crack if you hate the leveling system. If you don’t like it, then literally just ignore it. You don’t have to level up your plants. YALL are annoying. Also it stinks that some of the original plants cost money but that’s how it is. And ps, all of the premium and gemium plants and seed packet plants are not needed to beat the game. So I hope that this review will be helpful for anyone that reads it from now if or until it dies. Peace out! I hope this information was helpful.

Sugarcane update
Sat Aug 23 2025 Asian PvZ Kid

Would you mind making Sugar Cane? Sugar cane is exceptionally tall allowing it to block low flying zombies, dynamite zombie, imp cannon imp, etc. it blows spear-like canes from it’s top dealing 30 damage with a 20% chance to explode with sugar into 3 tiles into 3 lanes in front of where the cane landed, the sugar doing 70 damage and making a crackling sound when a zombie steps on it (sugar doesn’t spawn when a plant is on where the sugar’s supposed to be). Sugar Cane looks like a straight upright bamboo with black eyes and a mouth filled up with air, ready to blow a projectile. His defense is 2,500 and it increases by 200 when leveled up. Base damage of spear-like cane is 30 and upgrades by +5 when leveled up. Sugar damage is 70 and also goes up by +5 whenever leveled up. Recharge is 25 seconds and decreased by -1 when leveled up. Initial sun cost is 250 and goes down by -20 when leveled up to 5, and then 10. You can pick the type but I’d say it’s an Arma-mint type. Description: He likes watching low flying and jumping zombies go head first into his body. Special: exploding sugar goes into 3 tiles into 3 lanes in front of it. Special: blocks jumping zombies, flying zombies, etc. Plant food effect: blows sugar onto every zombie on the lawn, dealing 150 damage and also makes a crackling sound. Seedium plant needing 250 seed packets to get or able to get with money. Thank you for reading this Popcap and all of you.

Really great game…. But the ads are unbearable
Mon Jun 27 2022 Draconic08

I remember when I was a little kid and I decided to try this game out after really liking the first game. When I first popped in and did the tutorial I was amazed on how great this game was after many hours of watching Zackscottgames I finally had it! Then after around 3-4 years I came back to this game and started playing it. It was around the middle of the Wild West that I started to notice that I was getting many ads and now I am at the point that I just tap on the ad to get the download screen over with so I can go back to the main game, but on top of that my iPad is pretty old so when I go into the ads it sometimes crashes the game. So you get money from me seeing the ad while I am getting annoyed at the fact that the game just crashed and I have to wait to start it up again. You are making this game much worse for people when you put so many ads in this game. Just limit it to 1 ad per 4-5 levels. I don’t mind the premium plant thing, I think that the game is definitely still beatable without them and I get the 100 gem thing because these plants are very powerful. But please just stop it with the ads. It would have been a 5 star if not for the ads. Also you put ads in the original game so now when I don’t want to see any more ads and I go back to the original game I still get the same stupid ads. One more thing: Make ice peashooter purchasable with gems because I miss it so much and I don’t want to pay for it. Another thing: Anybody remember when this was called Plants VS Zombies It’s About Time?

Amazing game, but..
Sat Sep 18 2021 Mamo4u

I love this game. It is super entertaining and I’m kind of addicted. But.. there has been a little bit of problems. 1. Whenever you update the game and add a plant, there is a load data part that takes 10 minutes, which can result in devices overheating and losing battery. 2nd. The game has too much adds, can you make it every 5 levels you get one add? And lastly, the game doesn’t get any new maps added in it. This is making me sad because I wanted plants like scarcely shroom and umbrella leaf to return. But alas, the game is very fun. Also, why is Chomper a premium plant that costs money, but torch wood and hot date are not? That’s kind of weird. Also, can you make snow pea a non- premium? I would say you could put it in the castle map. Also, Star fruit should cost gems, and squash should be buffed. Also, why is laser beam doing more damage than bloomerang when 1. Laser beam can hit every zombie in the game, but bloomerang cant hit the jester or shovel zombie. 2. Laser beam can hit every zombie in one lane, and bloomerang can’t. 3. Laser beam shoots faster than bloomerang. And 4. Laser beam only costs 200 sun for what it does? Why doesn’t bloomerand cost 150, and why doesn’t lazar beam cost 250? Also, Why does tile turnip go all the way up to 10K when I don’t even have it up to one lane yet? And a suggestion: can you make Twin sunflower 100 sun?

Suggestions
Tue Sep 27 2022 Axel Sanjuan

So I’m suggesting some updates,plants and zombies for the next update so hope you add them. The first plant I want to be added is called “pea-berg” so it’s a mix of iceberg lettuce and peashooter and it shoots peas and if a zombie steps on it it gets stunned then it explodes and peas go flying in different lanes and make it where there’s a 50% chance of the pea of catching on fire when the zombie explodes and make the pea-burg a apease mint family plant and worth 25 sun The next plant is called “blower” and it blows zombies like hurrikale but after it blows it flings a random zombie off the board and it cost 100 sun and a contain mint family plant So this update I want in the future is called “garden and plantz” and it contains some new zombies. New zombies in the update I want is gardener zombies and cashiers the gardener zombie has a hose that can damage plants but after it reaches 5 tiles it drops it hose because the hose reaches it’s max distance. And the cashier zombies can have a cash register that they can smash the plants with and it has a 50% chance to drop coins and there can be customer zombies that appear only if the cashier zombie appears and a new plant is called “potato cannon. and it takes a random zombies after 10 seconds after eating it and uses the zombies head as a cannon ball. A zombie that I want to return is pogo zombie and zomboni.

game is great, only writing this review for one thing.
Tue Nov 12 2019 Disappointed, yet still happy.

Fisherman zombies. The worst zombie in the game. PvZ is supposed to be a fun tower defense game and having a strategy to deal with zombies with mechanics. Most zombies are bearable, the torch zombie and shovel zombie can sometimes be annoying but have their weaknesses. Gargantuars are easy enough. But the fisherman. It doesn’t make the game any more fun, and it doesn’t even feel good to beat the level with the horrid amount of fisherman zombies because you’re so stressed out by their stupid mechanics. They’re just so dumb, literally. It’s so hard to defeat them, because in beach there are tons of zombies blocking your plants from attacking them, and tangled kelp helps a bit but there are sometimes more than 5 all the time, and the kelp can’t take them all. And you always use your single use plants to defend your plants with the zombies upfront, but you end up losing because you didn’t defeat those stupid fisherman zombies. If I waste my cherrybomb to attack a group of fisherman in the back, the bucket head swarm gets my plants and I lose. I don’t have the jalapeño, and it wouldn’t even work because it only gets a single lane of fisherman zombies. I don’t expect you to remove the zombie, maybe not change it at all, but I just want to voice my opinion on how it ruins the game experience for me. But I still have arena so I guess this is alright 😔

WHYYYY????!!!!

PLEASE HELP DEVELOPER!!! I love this game. So, recently, I tried to download it. I got to level 5 and pressed play. But suddenly, a resolution update thing pops up. I say no, then I click the next level. Then, it says “You can not play this level without the resolution update” I say “alright I guess” and then tap Do Update. It starts applying patch, but the weird thing about it is the patch already says 100% and then the grass loads up really quickly. After like 2 seconds of the sunflower bobbing here head side to side, the game has finished the update and reloaded the game. Except 1 thing is different. Everything is black. Nothings there. I swipe up the app to reload it, and the same thing happens. I tried deleting apps and swiping the app up, but it still doesn’t work. I’ve tried deleting the app MANY times, updating my device plenty of times and nothing works STILL! I tried turning my device off and on while on and off of the app. Heck, I’ve even tried deleting the app, deleting some of my games, turning my device off and on again then downloading the app again and it still leads to the stupid resolution update. I don’t know if this will help, but it still sends notifications, and when I go on the emptiness that is this app, the background audio played 1 cycle then stops. Also, I have the latest update (15.4) and my device is an iPod touch 7. Please fix this bug. I love this game, but only when I actually can actually play it. thank you in advance. Sincerely A REALLY frustrated guy
