If the love for taking out the undead while on the move meant fans with the BlackBerry PlayBook could do nothing but sulk, the good news is that EA has ported Plants vs. Zombies to RIM’s tablet. At any rate, the game should look pretty good on the 7-inch LCD touchscreen sported by the slate.
The plot is as simple as it gets – users have to bring on the arsenal in an attempt to prevent zombies from getting to their front door. The only available equipment involves no less than 49 ‘zombie-zapping’ plants. The goal is to keep the impending attack at bay with the help of peashooters, cherry bombs and wall-nuts.
“In Plants vs. Zombies for the BlackBerry PlayBook, you’ll choose from an ever-increasing arsenal of zombie-zapping plants in order to confuse, weaken, and mulchify the monsters plodding across your yard. But plan well, because each type of zombie has its own special skills and behaviors,” says EA in a recent post.
There are 26 types of zombies and each of them comes creeping along with unique skills so that players’ gardening talents will be put to a proper stress test. Adding to the bother of a limited stash of seeds and greens, hurdles like the setting sun, swimming pool and fog also have to be dealt with wisely.
The Plants vs. Zombies price is $4.99, which may not be too heavy for anyone who’s a die-hard fan of the PopCap game. It can be purchased for the BlackBerry PlayBook through where else, but the BlackBerry App World.
