Everything about Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 seems designed to get in the way of the thing it gets right: giant, instantly accessible team battling on the Internet. If you're looking for an enjoyable evolution of the Team Fortress formula, complete with diverse, complementary character classes and 22-minute battles across staggeringly large maps, this one's pretty danged good—and easily the most kid-friendly team-battling game of its kind.
