I forgot that this game came from a time where it was en vogue to end your game with a song with funny lyrics.

The main story is fun with all the areas of your lawn that you have to defend as well as all the mini games and survival modes as well. This game is truly awesome.

I loved the game on the iPad, but I am no fan of the in--your-face overmonetization there. So I decided to get it for the DS instead, and have been indulging in the joys of uninterupted singler-player offline gameplay ever since. Worth it.

A very colorful and cute Tower Defense with 5 levels where the player at each end of level gets new plants or can even buy if he wants. At each start of each level the player can freely choose his strategy, the level with fog was one that I didn't like very much. Every 5 levels the player has the opportunity to play mini-games to vary a little what I love the idea. I must however say that this genre I don't usually play many times, but I liked the experience.

I've had this kicking around on Origins forever.... I finally beat the main game, and am going through all the challenge modes. I love the silly humor in this whole series. It makes me want to play Garden Warfare again, but since that game is an online game and no one really plays it anymore, I doubt it's any fun …
