"With a ton of new features and content exclusive to the XBLA version, we've pulled out all the stops to both expand and optimize this adaptation for a hard core gaming audience," said Ed Allard, head of worldwide studios at PopCap.
"The two new multiplayer modes allow gamers to work cooperatively to defeat hordes of invading zombies, or go head-to-head in a true Plants vs. Zombies challenge," Allard continued. "We're also featuring a customized 'house' for tracking and sharing progress as well as a total of 21 mini-games and 12 achievements, all designed to enthrall Plants vs. Zombies players once again."
The Live version of the critical and commercial smash is set to launch this fall for 1,200 Microsoft Points ($15.00). The rundown on features includes:
-- A total of seven game modes, including two new multiplayer modes: Co-Op and Vs. Mode
-- 12 achievements and 21 mini-games – more than any other adaptation, and including the exclusive Heavy WeaponTM-inspired mini-game
-- A goofy new way to track and share progress online, where players create their own custom house and cruise down the street to see their friends' cribs
-- The highest resolution of any Plants vs. Zombies adaptation to date at 1920 x 1080
-- All 50 levels of the original Adventure mode along with Puzzle, Survival, and Zen Garden
Sharkey says: A must download for any Xbox gamer that hasn't had the opportunity to play the PC or portable versions. And for you PC gamers that also want to get in on the extra modes, PopCap says it will have an uber retail package available sometime later this year.
