Plants-VS-Zombies-clone

Shanzhai is a phenomenon that does’t just happen at consumer electronics markets, but also exists in other industries, for example, the games industry. A Chinese gaming company showed off a game that’s called exactly Plants VS. Zombies on a game show recently hold in Guangzhou, China. The company was hardly heard of before, but now is frequently mentioned and discussed on Internet.

As you can tell easily from the pictures, this Chinese version Plants VS. Zombies looks very similar to the original. The game is also about plants defending zombies’ attack. It  allows four people at most to participate together in the game. Right now it seems to just have arcade game version.

According to Chinese news portal 163.com, PopCap Games has confirmed that Shanzhai maker doesn’t have any permission from them to use Plants VS. Zombies’s design and other related things.
