Pros
Pro Extremely immersive, amazing touch controls
The touch controls/movement controls on this are really really awesome. Zooming in and out on the floating island to either "god view" from high above where enemies look like ants, to down on ground level first person in a click or pull is pretty awesome.
Pro Great humor
Pro Polished
Pro Very nice voice acting
Pro Looks beautiful
Pro Checkpoints in levels
Checkpoints allow for partial level rewind so beginning parts of levels don't need to be played over and over to get to difficult parts.
Pro Can really build some crazy mazes in later levels
Early on you are limited in placement, but in later levels you can and need to build your own mazes to really direct the enemies. There are lots of options/routes/ways to build those mazes so it really opens up a lot of replayability to try and beat your friends scores by tweaking your mazes for maximum points.
Cons
Con Very limited placement of towers
This is not like many tower defense games where you can "build your own mazes" to send enemies how you want them. The spots to place towers here are very very limited (at least half way through campaign), and in most cases you only really have 4-5 viable spots to possibly put towers.
Con Geometry gets in way of ranges
The geometry in the game affects the ranges for the worse. You are very limited in where you can place towers, and if you try placing the standard gun, or laser in half the spots, they can't hit half of the enemies inside their range due to being on a mountain side for example.
It at least shows you this in the range of the tower by showing a red area where they won't hit. It ends up making a lot of the spots to place towers useless as the only towers you can put there are crazy long range ones like the Missle.
Con Some of the towers don't seem very balanced
Some towers don't seem very well balanced. For example the Annihilator, which is one of the final unlocks, it just doesn't do much.
Con Eventually starts running poorly
Con During early missions you are very limited in tower placements
It gets better though and you can really build some crazy mazes.
