Unlike your lawn, you actually do want zombies on your Xbox 360.

I played the trail and it was really addictive. I may get this when I next get MSP.

But first... Hydrophobia!

You guys should do a review of that as well.

If this comes out on any platform I own, I'll buy it every time.

You always get the most fun games to review.

I'm liking the updated graphic's in the menu screen and the V's mode would be a lot of fun!

It definitely feels easier. I don't know if sun actually fell more frequently and quickly than it did in the PC game, but that's how it felt. Maybe that's just because it was easier to collect. Your cursor is also slightly magnetic, so you really just need to get close to sun to grab it, as opposed to right on top of it.

I don't like the price. I can buy this for $1.99 on my iPod, but $15 on XBL? I like the game and all, but man, it seems a bit steep just for co-op.

I know, I'm stingy, but it's hard to go from $1.99 to $15.

Don't quit your day job Susan.

If I didn't already have this for my PC and even a simple yet neat looking co-op and VS would sway me over to buy it. Oh and I have to ask, with this did they replace that zombie that looked like Michael Jackson? (yet in no way resembled him, at all >.>).

That's perfectly reasonable, really. If you've already played the game elsewhere, there's not a whole lot of reason to get it yet again. There is the promise of DLC down the line, and the Versus really is loads of fun, but you can get the bulk of the game cheaper on other platforms, and as fun as the extras are, the core game is amazing all by itself.

Yay Susan singing! That was really cute... Mainly cause I was doing it too...

I have PvZ on Steam, so I have had a hard time pulling the trigger to basically buy it again on XBL. Granted the Co-Op and Vs modes might be fun with the GF.

I rarely say this, but I think I wait for this on the Wii. If the Wii version is handled as well as World of Goo, it would be the version to get.

Nah, the controls are no trouble at all. The only real issue is if you're super-used to the PC version, then there's a bit of mental disconnect at first. If you don't already have a copy of the game, do yourself a favor and download this immediately. You'll be glad you did, I promise.

Would you say that this is the over all "best" versian of the game?
Ooo, wow, good question. Hmmmm...for someone brand new to the game, yes, I think it probably is, because it offers everything the original version does and more, without losing anything (except the Michael Jackson zombie, of course). But for my own personal feelings, I don't think I can be entirely objective. I've played it so much on the PC that it feels just a little weird on XBLA, simply because I'm so used to the other version.
