Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare turns PopCap's tower-defense series into a third-person shooter, pitting plant and zombie factions against each other in team-based multiplayer battles. Players pick classes like the Peashooter or All-Star Zombie, each with distinct weapons and abilities.

Modes range from objective-based team shooting to a cooperative horde-style defense against waves of enemies. The colorful, family-friendly presentation sits on top of genuinely tactical class-based combat.
