That teamwork will carry you into multiplayer, and Garden Warfare's best mode, Gardens And Graveyards.
It's surprisingly thrilling - much like Titanfall's signature end-of-round post-game skirmishes - and requires communication and teamwork to cope with the relentless march of the undead.
#Plants vs zombies 3 garden warfare series
After the tenth round of onslaught, series stalwart Crazy Dave swoops in to rescue your team, marking out a landing zone on the map that you must defend for a couple of minutes before you're rescued in his dropship.
Every round is relatively short-lived, especially compared to some of Gears of War's wave-based epics. Garden Ops feels like an introduction to the wider game's systems. The game's built on Frostbite 3, demonstrating the engine's flexibility. The game is played in third-person but retains a first-peron control set, never dropping frames and remaining fluid and accurate no matter how many grey-skinned groaners there are on screen trying to hack your garden apart. Standard stuff, but it's an immediate showcase for Garden Warfare's marvellously smooth and precise gunplay, and its faultless controls. Here, four plants have to protect a garden against ten increasingly difficult waves of zombies. Garden Ops is probably the best way to kick things off, a four-player iteration of horde that makes thematic sense given the series' tower defence roots. And get away with it they do, as against all logical thinking, Garden Warfare is a supremely well-constructed, balanced and engaging multiplayer shooter.Įschewing any notion of single-player (a very wise decision), Garden Warfare splits its horticultural carnage over two distinct modes, Garden Ops, and the imaginatively titled Multiplayer. Like all sensible people, I'm naturally wary of any entertainment product that builds its own identity around a pun, but if anyone can get away with it, it's the gloriously daft bunch at PopCap.
EA's decision to unleash Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare mere weeks before the all-conquering Titanfall is a curious one indeed, but then, this is a curious game. Neither are free-to-play, and amazingly neither feature nefarious microtransactions.
#Plants vs zombies 3 garden warfare Ps4
In the space of three weeks, EA is set to release two separate multiplayer-only, Xbox exclusive (well, not available on PS4 anyway) squad-based shooters. Zombies Garden Warfare is a bright, beautiful and extremely well made multiplayer shooter from PopCap and EA.
