    I have over 100 hours in the first Plants vs. Zombies GW game and I've played every installation of the other PopCap games. This game is a fun first person shooter that doesn't involve nearly as much violence as other shooter games. (If you consider a sunflower shooting laser-like shots from its face and aiming at oncoming zombies in port-a-potties violent...) The game has grown a lot since the first one, adding more characters and maps. The game modes have been tweaked a little and the maps are different but just as fun. There are some balance changes that need to be made to make the game more fair, but overall, the experience is worth it. Pop Cap has been diligent so far in releasing updates for the game to fix some issues so I'm sure any current problems will be fixed soon. 10/10 will put another hundred hours into this game.

    My 8yr old son pre-ordered this game from Bestbuy.com and I was the lucky one to pick it up for him on launch day. I loaded for him while he was at school so it would be ready for him when he got home. My son loves this game and I hate to admit it but so do I. The graphics are wonderful and the game play is quite fun. There are lots of characters to choose from to play as right out of the box. The quests are fun to complete and the online game play is fantastic..

    Garden Warfare 2 is an awesome sequel to the original with pretty much everything being bigger and better! Great characters and upgrades all around make it a blast to play. The split screen mode works well for even more options. Love the new characters (some cool ones came with the deluxe version) and collecting for others is fairly easy too. If you liked the first one, you'll love GW2. If you didn't play it, you can jump right in this one and have a good time.

    PvZ GW2 is an excellent sequel. There's a ton more to do. I wish the single payer stuff was better and the import of PvZ GW1 data actually worked, but it's still a great game.

    My kids adored playing the 1st PvZ Garden Warfare game. This time around, the Zombies have won and now the roles have been reversed. The Zombies have to defend against the Plants trying to take back the city. This is a great game that can be enjoyed by all ages. If you played the first Plants VS. Zombies, Garden Warfare, this one is very similar with the same controls, they just added more character classes and better graphics. PvZ2 lets you import the characters that you might have unlocked from the first game, and rewards you for having achieved from the original Garden Warfare when linking to your EA server account. This game has online multi-player, the Garden Ops mode where you try to survive against waves of zombies or defend against waves of plants. There also is a free roam around the backyard area. While doing split screen you can only roam around in the backyard area and do the garden ops. My kids love this game.

    It's a great addition to the series a lot of fun and way more content then the first one. While it keeps the playability with similar gameplay to the first one it makes some much needed changes. It is a great time killer and loads of fun!

    Excellent improvements over the first game -- especially for families wanting to play together via split screen. Many quests and hidden items add to the enjoyment of the game. As usual the online gameplay is fun and exciting.

    A lot more content than the GW1. In addition to the multiplayer, there's a lot of good added single-player content. The new characters add variety for the seasoned veterans as well.

    The sequel to most games are usually a boring repeat of the same olé, same olé. GW2 brings a fresh start to a already fun gaming experience. My 7 year old loves this game as well as his 46 year old dad. I am a fan of the COD games but I will not let my 7 year old play them. This game gives me the best of both worlds. I grew up playing games with my father and GW2 give me/us a chance to create good memories playing games together.

    If you played the first PvZ:GW game, then you most likely will not be disappointed with the sequel. Improvements on the original, as well as additions that were worth it.

    This was purchased for my 13 year old son. He really like the original and couldn't wait until this version was released. He really wanted the deluxe version because of all of the extras. The game looks a whole lot better graphically and they added more modes other than multi-player that will add more hours of use.

    Unlike the first one, this game has more of a learning curve. As of right now roses are imbalanced. Hopefully future patches will fix the game

    My son loved PVZ1 and PVZ2 is even better! Better weapons, better characters, and game play. I like it because I think it is a good option for kids and does't have any blood or guts or really violent stuff at all. It's a lot of fun and for me I feel like it is easier to aim and shoot at your targets in this one which I appreciate being video game challenged.

    This game is cool for all ages and it is better than the first with more plants and zombies to choose from. The game now allows two players to join the action in coop split screen. It's a nice everyone friendly shooter game and the graphics are great(a lot of colorful levels and characters)

    I loved the first game and when the second one came out I bought it on the first day. The game is enjoyable my little sister likes the emojis that came with it. New improved game set and the company listened to their customers over issues with the first game and improved it.
