The game is available on PopCap.com and major portal partners such as MSN Games, Pogo.com, Steam, GameHouse and WildTangent, as well as at retail outlets in North America including Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, and Amazon.com, for US$19.95.

Players can proclaim their prowess across all the new modes and mini-games by maxing out 65 achievement badges and topping the high score lists, or check progress with the fun statistics at the end of each game.
