Gameplay[change | change source]
In Plants vs. Zombies 2, the player takes on the role of Crazy Dave, who uses a time machine to travel back in time and prevent the zombies from eating his brain. The game is divided into several different eras, each taking place in a different time period, such as Ancient Egypt, the Wild West, and the Future.
The gameplay in Plants vs. Zombies 2 is similar to that of the original game, with players using a variety of different plants to defend against waves of zombies. However, the game introduces new features such as plant food, which can be used to give plants temporary boosts, and power-ups, which can be used to defeat large groups of zombies.
The game also features new zombie types, each with their own unique abilities and weaknesses. For example, the Pirate Zombie can steal plants and carry them to the back of the lawn, while the Chicken Wrangler Zombie can release a swarm of zombie chickens.
