A mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home in Plants vs. Zombies. Defend yourself with an arsenal of home-guardin’ plants to mulchify zombies before they reach your front door. Enjoy all the fun-dead action of the original hit game, plus lively new features. Get twice the zombie-zapping action with two-player versus and co-op modes. Upgrade and decorate your house in the interactive leaderboard, and check out your friends’ houses, too. Plants vs. Zombies for Xbox LIVE Arcade is loaded with seven game modes, new rabble-rousing features, and unlimited replayable action … so the fun never dies!

The stage is shrouded in dry ice, spotlights gradually focus on the centre of the stage, the curtain rises and with the first move a fantastic show explodes around you: this is your first performance! You will be dancing with the world’s best. Select one of the 6 available characters, style your character using around 300 accessories and perform at 8 spectacular venues. Dance the hottest moves using the Controller or on the Dance Mat. Use the cool dance routines to show off your skills in 20 tracks that have been created exclusively for the game! In Multiplayer you can play with up to 4 players and dance against your friends, and you’ll soon be looking down at your rivals from the top of the online leaderboard; the stage is yours!
