PopCap seems to be preparing a new game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It’s Plants vs Zombies and from what we’re hearing it brings a new take to the tower defence genre. That new take is actually quite weird, as it sees you leading a small army of plants against an endless swarm of zombies.
And how do we know they plan to bring the game to the iPhone/iPod Touch? Well, PopCap’s Garth Chouteau said that the clicking required for the game can be quite annoying on consoles, but not on the iPhone.
He said, “I think the iPhone is a little less of an issue, perhaps, than typical console controllers… The kinds of rapid clicking we’re talking about in Plants vs. Zombies involves clicking in one place and then clicking somewhere else on the screen that can be quite far away. I think with the iPhone the ability to do that with your finger potentially overcomes that…”
As a moderate fan of tower defence games, I must say that I’m looking forward to try this game out. It certainly sounds like fun. We’ll see…
