My Favorite Game — Plants vs Zombies(Cheerio)
Being living in the planet for around 21 years, I played less than 10 games in my life. The reason why I don’t play game is because I saw how people around me get into the game world and even not able to see the real life, another reason is because I will get into the game very quickly, and once I start it, I couldn’t leave my eye from it. For example, the game that I have played, Battle City , Ninja Turtles, MapleStory… From when I was kid, don’t have too much study. After year 4, I stopped all the game, I played some other casual game when I have my own computer, which are puzzle bubbles – I played crazily without sleeping, and happy farm in Chinese website, which I still go and water my plants everyday. Another game, which might be smarter, compared to all these games is Plants vs Zombies.
My first time played Plants vs Zombies was on iphone, I was totally attracted by the game. It is simple and straightforward, the zombies will come closer and closer and invade your house, and you need to kill them in order to protect yourself from eating by them, I have strong emotion while playing this game, because once I lose, the screen will show a letter written by zombies in blood, like the following:
I felt so scared from it, even restart or close the game can’t help. When the zombies come closer I will stamp my feet nervously. I think interact with the audience is a very important point for a successful game.
The music selection is also smart in the game; they have different music when fighting with zombies and different music when there is no zombie, which sounds peaceful. Also the sound effect is really cool, I love the sound that when the bullet hit on the zombies, it sounds like throwing the tomato to the wall. Especially the sound of zombies eatting plants, always make me feel sad and pittyful. Because I spent money on growing them! And it takes times! When I feel stressful, I would like to smash on something, I will play this game. The zombies always come one by one, but there are three chances in one level that they will have a lot of zombies come together, the music will be the scariest one, when I play on iphone, once I heard of that sound, I will just touch the screen quickly without actually knowing what I am doing. I always feel like wanna dancing when I am playing this game, because the music is actually relexed most of the time, and the plants on the ground are waving their head following the music.
Also, something make Plants vs Zombies stands out is “creative”, the choosing of the characters which is so different, can you imagine how the little sunflowers or mushroom fight with super scary zombie?
When I asked my friend to play the game, they always laugh out and say, how could the plants fight with zombies? Well, that should be another characteristic which made the game successful—the weird name, weird characters, and, weird combination.
Different plants own different functions, some plants are there to kill the zombies and some plants are there to slower the zombie down. So for some stronger zombie, the plants can work together to make the zombies slow down at the same time kill him, which seems smart, isn’t it?
This game requires using of "brain" when fighting with zombies, the plants are not really fighting with the zombie, however, the players do, and the plants are actually just the intermediates. When you level up, you have more choice between different plants, but within so many plants, you can choose only seven or eight of them to fight with u against zombies, so I always spend so much time on choosing my partners. The speed of either clicking (pc) or touching the screen (iphone) is also required, because the sun that falling down which we need to select will disappear after certain time period, and we need to grow as much stuff as we can.
Overall, this is quite an interesting game, with the cute characters and even cute zombies; we fight because we don’t want to see the cute plants eaten by zombies, or don’t want to see the letter which tells you that you have been eaten by zombies, or just fight for fight.
