A Masterpiece Yet Again Ruined by EA – Plants vs. Zombies™ 2 Review

Let's cut to the chase first. You pay for plants in the game, in which every one together totals easily over $100. Those plants are "premium plants" and are a lot stronger than normal plants. Each one costs $5 or 100 gems(but that cost $10 if you don't feel like earning them). VERY FEW PREMIUM PLANTS CAN BE BOUGHT WITH GEMS! CLASSIC PVZ CHARACTERS SUCH AS THE CHOMPER, JALAPEÑO, AND SQUASH ARE WERE LOCKED BEHIND THIS PAYWALL! ONLY JALAPEÑO AND SQUASH CAN BE NOW BOUGHT WITH GEMS! New levels were added to expand the game. These levels are very hard and unfair. In order to beat these levels you need strong plants. To get strong plants you either buy premium plants or upgrade normal ones. These upgrades cost lots of coins the more you do them and requires plant-specific seed packets. These packets can be gained, but at a very slow rate. You can buy packs for 100 gems or buy bundles that range in prices but are probably at a minimum of $10. You are only guaranteed to get seed packets from plants of the world the pack corresponds to, but are not guaranteed to get the plant you want. If you don't want to do this, you can instead use your coins and but power-ups to cheese levels. These power-ups burn through your coins and soon you have none left. You can buy coins or spend hours earning them. What I just stated above are all true facts that have existed in this game thanks to EA. There are even a few other examples of greed in the game that I have not mentioned. EA has ruined the series and are trying to milk this game dry, and have been doing so for a long while. I'm sick of this corporate greed ruining everything. This game is very fun to play and has much potential, but PopCap no longer owns PVZ, and has not for years. Everything that is done in this game is directly controlled by EA since PopCap sold out. If you are going to play a PVZ, play the original. If you really want to play this, I beg of you to not spend a penny. Don't feed this abomination that is a company. I refuse to write anything positive about this game since there isn't much positive left in it. It really just is the original PVZ with more plants and zombies, but instead has over $100 of locked content.
