It's an online only multiplayer game, Xbox requires you to pay to play online.
There's nothing EA or Popcap can do about that now sadly.
... and this is exactly why, as parents, you should be paying attention to what your children purchase, as well as teaching them to read and research something before buying it. Simply going to the website for the game would show you that it requires Xbox Live.
As for me, I thought I understood what "Please be aware that you will need an Xbox LIVE Gold account to access Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare" meant, and we do in fact have an account. What upsets me is that it is not made clear on the box for the 360 version that you cannot have multiple people--multiple family members--playing together on that one account. We thought that, at minimum, one of us could log in and the rest play as guests. That, apparently, is not possible.
