Board Thread:Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time/@comment-25510054-20141214042703/@comment-5513687-20150106025458

Okay so despite my original Hatred for the idea of Ice Age, I actually am beyond excited and think that Popcap are actually trying. To show my excitement I have decided to do a mini Review.

Plants:

Hot Potato: Cute!!! Like a Grave Buster for ice. 0 sun cost. Super useful. 8.5/10

Pepper Pult: For all the people who thought it wouldn't be in the game... Look who it is.... Flaming Peppers!!! Amazing. And the fact it gives off a pulse of heat makes it one of the most valuable plants in this world. Great combat for all ice related attacks. 9.5/10

CHardGuard: Like a more powerful Spring Bean mixed with a Wallnut. Three pushes is quite good, especially since it becomes a blocking plant after. I wonder if it works with Wallnut Repair Kit. 8/10

Hurrikale: Though I am a little unhappy with this plant, seeing it in action with its valuable ability to push way Dodo Zombies, it is kinda useful. I'm still a firm believer in the Blover though. 7/10

Zombies:

Ice Block Zombie: Easy kill with the Pepper Pult, otherwise he could be quite dangerous. King of ordinary, not much more to say. 6/10

Hunter Zombie: Didn't see this coming. Ability is really cool, 3 hits with a snowball and a Plant is frozen. Not to much hassle if you use Pepper Pult though. Thank God there is a counter or this would just be the same as the annoying Octopus Zombie. 9/10

Dodo Imp Zombie thing: Ability to fly over plants and sliders. Looks like Lobbed plants will be useful against it since it flys so high. Hurrikale is a good counter, I'm sure Blover works too. 8/10

General Level Mechanics:

Sliders: Great Idea, Zombies sliding on Ice. Gimmick of the world. Relatively easy to combat, Dodo zombie could ruin that though. I think Sweet Potato would make it easier to help redirect zombies back to appropriate lanes. 9/10

Chilling Winds: Part of me wants to think that this is the ambush for the world but I am not holding my breath till the actual release. Can be a pain, especially if they have like 10 chilling winds one after another. Pepper Pult, again, is an amazing combat. 7.5/10

Frozen Plants: I like this idea. Kid of annoying but as long as there are fire plants around to thaw plants, it Hunters and Chilling winds shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Overall: I'm loving the new world. It is nicely balanced and planned out. No OP zombies without counters... Yet... The world design is really nice. Love the Beaver Mowers. All in all, Part one should be an enjoyable, not at all frustrating experience :P

Frostbite Caves: Part 1: 9.5/10

The excitement is real.
