I have only played this on the PC... but if the gameplay remains the same, it's fun until you figure out the huge exploit, which allows you to get as much money as you'll need and turn the game ridiculously easy.
It has survival... Can you not read or something? "It's packed with fun-dead action: - Dig into multi-touch gameplay exclusively on iPad. Play with up to 11 simultaneous touch points and challenge all your fingers! - Marvel at high-definition graphics on the dazzling iPad display. - Harvest fields of fun with 18 Mini-Games, including the exclusive iPad-only game, "Buttered Popcorn!" - Earn exclusive iPad achievements. - Battle 26 types of zombies including pole-vaulters, snorkelers and a Zombie Bobsled Team. - Conquer all 50 levels of Adventure mode - through day, night and fog, in a swimming pool and on the rooftop. - Test your home guardin' skills in the ultra-challenging Survival mode. - Replay your favorite levels in Quick Play mode. - Earn 49 powerful plants like peashooters, wall-nuts, and cherry bombs. - Unlock the Almanac to see all the plants and zombies, unearth amusing "facts" and quotes!"
I've been moving pretty slow, sorry about that. I just got the store, and there aren't any minugames there, so I guess you have to beat the game ti get them.
I never played plants vs zombies before so I have no idea what is missing from the mini games. Here is the screen shot of the mini games
Zen Garden? What's that? Before I thought that was the mode where the zombies had plant heads, but now from the screenshots those seem to be called "Zombotanic". I guess the purposely left out these mini-games in the iPhone version... to get people to buy the same game twice on different platforms. Greed seems to exponentially grow with a rich company like Popcap.
You get to buy plants from crazy dave and take care of them and they grow then you can sell them for money. very fun
Once they add all those mini games they for some reason left out, then I'll buy the iPad game, until then, it's not worth the high price. And if they make it a paid DLC, then I'm definitely not supporting Pop-Cap. So once they do add it in, hopefully someone will make a topic about it, cuz I may never know
