Well, the trial did not impress me at all. I love tower defense type games so I was very excited to see that PopCap was making one in this, but...was not so exciting. I think part of what made their other games so instantly entertaining is that you can play them in tiny increments of time and still have fun. You know immediately how to play (even if not to play well). This game has a lot more depth, but the depth isn't really...interesting.

I played through 7 levels doing nothing but building a row of extra sun plants in the back then filling my screen with the little pea shooters. None of the other plants were even passingly useful. It's cute and the concept is fun, but I'm not going to shell $20 to find out when the first hour was so underwhelming. Too bad.
