Many of the modes are called different things in different areas, but ultimately amount to the same thing at the end of the day, and starts to feel pretty repetitive pretty quickly. Whether playing alone or with friends, a lot of the game modes start to run together, regardless of which side you’re playing.
And let me tell you, it’s pretty fun playing as these ridiculous characters. Not to be outdone by those obnoxiously brainless plants, the zombies also bust out some new characters: the very weak and very fast Imp the brawling superzombie Super Brainz and the surprisingly versatile Captain Deadbeard. The Foot Soldier, the Engineer, the Scientist, and the All-Star return to kill plants, realize they have no brain matter, and immediately regret their lack-of-life decisions. But instead of plants, you get to play as brain-craving zombies. All of the modes are duplicated in Dr Zomboss’ mansion, with cosmetic alterations (like talking to Dr Patient for the solo quests, or calling them Graveyard Ops instead of Garden Ops).
If you decide you’d rather eat some brains, Dr Zomboss has some fun things for you to do as well. Apparently, pretty much everything you can think of doing will earn you some XP and coins, and those coins will become important later. And, a big selling point according to all the official literature, you can earn coins and XP no matter how you decide to play.

However you decide to play, you get your choice of characters from the get-go, including Peashooter, Sunflower, Chomper, and Cactus, who all return from GW, plus three new plants who’ve joined the fray: Citron, the time-traveling bounty hunter Rose, the mage with an affinity for goats and Kernel Corn, the militaristic twin-gunner. Or you can just exit the plant stronghold and just start beating up random zombies in the Backyard Battleground. You can even switch over the zombie side immediately by signing up with Dr Zomboss, making you the ultimate mercenary (but more on that later). You can enter multiplayer through the portal, play Garden Ops to defend your turf, enter split-screen mode and play with a friend in your immediate vicinity, or play solo quest missions thanks to the Dave-bot 3000 hanging out in the garage. The game begins on the plant side with various game modes immediately available to players. The neighbourhood has been divided in half, with a plant stronghold resembling a huge earthbound treehouse on side, and Dr Zomboss’ mansion serving as the zombie stronghold on the other. Plus, if Walking Dead has taught us anything, it’s that it’s always a good idea to shoot zombies in the face, even if all you’ve got is a pea-shooter. But I tried out this second iteration of Garden Warfare, and was pleasantly surprised. It was a third-person shooter, and if I’m gonna be playing one of those, I’d rather shoot people in the face over cartoon plants and zombies (don’t judge). While I loved the mobile PvZ games in all their tower defensive-glory, I had not played the first Garden Warfare because, well, because it wasn’t a tower defence game.
