Plants vs Zombie Attacks Xbox Live

PopCap Game has made it official; We can expect Plants vs Zombies on the Xbox Live Arcade this September. The game will set you back 1200 Microsoft Points. Is it worth it? I know I'll be buying it even though I have it on my computer. Read the news and you be the judge yourself.
Head of worldwide studios at PopCap Games, Ed Allard explains, "with a ton of new features and content exclusive to the XBLA version, we've pulled out all the stops to both expand and optimize this adaptation for a hard core gaming audience."
"The two new multiplayer modes allow gamers to work cooperatively to defeat hordes of invading zombies, or go head-to-head in a true 'plants vs. zombies' challenge. We're also featuring a customized 'house' for tracking and sharing progress as well as a total of 21 mini-games and 12 achievements, all designed to enthrall Plants vs. Zombies players once again."
Plants vs. Zombies for XBLA features:
* A total of seven game modes, including two new multiplayer modes: Co-Op and Vs. Mode
* 12 achievements and 21 mini-games -- more than any other adaptation
* A goofy new way to track and share progress online, where players create their own custom house and cruise down the street to see their friends' cribs!
* The highest resolution of any Plants vs. Zombies adaptation to date at 1920 x 1080
* All 50 levels of the original Adventure mode along with Puzzle, Survival, and Zen Garden
The most exciting part? It the announcement for the XBLA version was today, what is the announcment on Aug 2nd? Plants vs Zombies 2, anyone?

  1. Not being a gamer but wanting to play this particular game, does this mean you buy the game for Xbox? Or is it through the computer?

    I know my son has an Xbox but don't know what Xbox live is.

  4. Sorry to not chime in sooner. Head over to PopCap Games' site and you can play the flash version for free! Aside from being available on Xbox Live, it is available for you computer, iPad, and iPhone. Plants vs Zombies is by far one of the most fun and wonderfully addictive games I have played. I only wish they paid me for all the plugs and positive comments I give this game!
