Plants vs. Zombies demo eating brains right now photo

PopCap has released a demo for its upcoming tower defense title, Plants vs. Zombies. It's available right now. Here. If you have a PC or Mac, go get it. 

That's the story basically. The demo appears to be a 30 minute trial of the game, which should give you a good enough idea of what to expect when the game is available tomorrow for a cool $19.99. Destructoid is also giving away some free copies and today's the last day to win it.

If you've played the demo, let us know what you think so far. We've been playing the full version of the game for a few weeks now, and our full Plants vs. Zombies review is coming tomorrow. But I think it's safe to say "we like it"; how much and why you'll have to wait for.

[Thanks, power-glove]

Played the demo a few seconds ago, I like it!
Crazy Dave and his 'voice acting' is pure win.

This game in general is pure win: and it only gets better. Vast "incredible out of 10" reviews will pour out tomorrow, including mine.

I think I'll leave it for a bit, see if it pops up on steam.

Didn't think it'd be my cup of tea... until I tried it. Wow. Bought it immediately - only $10 on steam!

Dukeman mentioned the price, but just wanted to note that it's a cool $9.99 not $19.99.

Well, it's $20 if you buy it directly from popcap.

Played the demo, bought the Steam version. You just have to wait an extra day to play it, but you save $10 and get a free copy of Heavy Weapon Deluxe (awesome).

I hear good things and, for $10 and a free copy of Heavy Weapon Deluxe on Steam, I can't wait to pick it up.

Played the demo and I loved it. Bought it on Steam for $10 and got Heavy Weapon Deluxe for free!

For the confusion, it's $20 on PopCap directly and $10 on Steam (in addition to Heavy Weapon Deluxe).

Demo was awesome. I think the pacing is perfect for myself.

The Steam version unlocks ~19 hours from now, which is still May 5th, but later in the day.

Dude, trust me. It has more content than a TON of full price $60 games. If you enjoy the gameplay, buy it.
