Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 Xbox One / Series X [Pre-owned]

A sequel to the unconventional, multiplayer action game developed under the aegis of Electronic Arts Corporation by PopCap Games - a studio which until then specialized in casual games. The story of the game once again focuses on the rivalry between plants and zombies. This time, the player is tasked with reclaiming a small city called Suburbia from the hands of living dead. The gameplay of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is similar to the one from the first installment in the series and focuses mostly on multiplayer modes. The player can choose from more than hundred “heroes”, possessing different weapons and special abilities. Among them are both the heroes known from the first game, as well as completely new ones (it is also possible to import your favorite characters from the previous game). Frostbite engine, known from such AAA games as Battlefield or Need for Speed, is responsible for the high quality of the game's visual aspects.

Herbal Assault allows up to 24 people to play as plants and Graveyard Ops is a four-person cooperative mode in which zombies are defending themselves from waves of enemies. The game takes place on various maps – there are twelve of them available; among them, the player will find locations set i.e. in space.

Technology

The game features a cartoonish graphic design, typical for the Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare universe. It was generated using the Frostbite engine, known from such productions like Battlefield 4, Star Wars: Battlefront and Need for Speed. It might not be the best looking game available on Xbox One, but it still looks very nice and one can hardly say anything bad about it.
