Waves and waves of nasty bugs want to destroy your beautiful garden. Set up a defense system that best stops the plant eating pests. Absolute fun. This game is a keeper. One of the best Big Fish offerings ever. Try it and you'll see.

I bought this game when it first came out in January 2008. I am still returning to it time and time again. I have almost beaten all five difficulty levels. My children love the movies. I always steer my friends and family to this game.

The replayability is huge! The entire game was well balanced, well thought out, and had a lot of love put into it. The music, the graphics, the gameplay, they were all wonderful. Especially in this era where so many games are all graphics, with poor quality game balance and storytelling.
I recommend this game!

I've been enjoying this for years. Even though the levels are now totally familiar it is the kind of game that you can set your own challenges for, such as only allowing yourself to use certain upgrades or do it in a different amount of time. Additionally, the game offers 5 levels of difficulty for each playing field so that makes it last much longer. Admittedly some levels are easier than others ...Show more
I've been enjoying this for years. Even though the levels are now totally familiar it is the kind of game that you can set your own challenges for, such as only allowing yourself to use certain upgrades or do it in a different amount of time. Additionally, the game offers 5 levels of difficulty for each playing field so that makes it last much longer. Admittedly some levels are easier than others but, again, you can set your own challenges for those after you become used to them. My advice is to go through the entire game once without using the bug houses, then begin over and try them as I found them difficult to understand until I was familiar with how the entire game went.

I've had this game for quite a while now and I still replay it! If you don’t own it, you should.
While Garden Defense is an older game, nothing about it will seem outdated. It best fits in the category of ‘Tower Defense,’ but it is your flower beds you are defending--from hordes of hungry bugs.

I've had this game for quite a while now and I still replay it! If you don’t own it, you should.
While Garden Defense is an older game, nothing about it will seem outdated. It best fits in the category of ‘Tower Defense,’ but it is your flower beds you are defending--from hordes of hungry bugs.
There is a wide assortment of insects heading your way and they get nastier the further into the game you get. I personally hate the big orange centipedes.
To defend your flowers, you can buy devices (garden gnomes with rocket launchers, pink flamingos to slow down flying insects and the cupid fountains to slow down crawling bugs# and plant flowers #cacti to attack flyers, bells to gas the crawlers and sunflowers, which attacks both#. You can also enlist the help of friendly insects #fireflies, stink bugs, lady bugs and the wonderful black widow#.
As you play the game, you need to defend gardens around the city. There are five locations each with three areas, for a total of 15 ‘levels.’ Each level is refreshingly different. And, there are five modes of play: very easy, easy, normal, hard, and very hard.
On each level, the insects come in waves #varying from 5 to 30 waves). You have to click a button to start the each wave, so you can take a break and assess your defenses between waves. You can also choose from three speeds and slow down the assault, if you want.
On each level you earn Experience Points. Between levels you can buy new items and upgrades. Don’t worry if you can’t stop all the bugs on some of the earlier levels. Once you get a few upgrades, you won’t have much of a problem.
The graphics are cute. The sound effects and music are good. Not annoying, IMHO. The story is pretty straight forward. Cut scenes are minimal—just enough to explain the story.
There are a few extras built into the game. There is a book with information on the bad insects and one on your defense options. There are about 15 Challenge levels as well. They are really challenging.
From my experience, Garden Defense is delightful and very, very replay-able. I highly recommend it. Show less

Fun factor is good because of it's TD style gameplay and of course the level is also good.The graphics may be good but better if remake into 3D.I gave 5 star because I have this game at almost 2 months and I never intended to delete it.Loves it.

This "tower" defense game really got me into it, and I really wish that there was a part 2 available (like the ending suggests). I beat the game in "Very Hard" level without letting any bugs pass, but it was still very challenging - not too challenging, but enough challenge to actually be fun.

This "tower" defense game really got me into it, and I really wish that there was a part 2 available (like the ending suggests). I beat the game in "Very Hard" level without letting any bugs pass, but it was still very challenging - not too challenging, but enough challenge to actually be fun.
What's especially fun about this is the lab. You are able to upgrade the protective gadgets, plants and bugs as real ninjas (which is really needed in hard levels, and don't forget the WMD)!
The storyline is simple, but for such games a complicated one may not be too necessary.
I would say that the hardest level is the second last in "Very Hard" level. Show less
