I love Scribblenauts. What can be said about it has already been described. The one thing that I don’t like is that it has trouble recognizing my handwriting- which is strange because I have neat handwriting, and I have had little problems with games like Crosswords DS and Brain Age. That’s why I subtracted a star. I’m glad it has the option to use a keyboard to enter your objects. Otherwise this game is one of the most original and creative I have ever played and it makes the minutes melt away!

Game Purchased on 17th, Sent on the 18th, and received on the 19th…. and the best part is, I got all this with Free Super Saver Shipping!
I picked up my DS also on the 19th and began enjoying this great game.
It’s a bit challenging at times but it is very fun.
Thanks Amazon!

Based on the hype, I thought this would be a fun, puzzle-type game but I just didn’t find it enjoyable to play. I had it for a few days and it was just frustrating. In one puzzle I had to press a button which opens a door and then run over and press another button. There was no logic to the actions. I could rest a helicopter on the button to press it but not an oven…I could stand on it but not put a rock on it to press it. What’s worse, I had to solve a level 3 times before moving on. it was just a mess. And its not true that you can write anything, solve everything. There is a pre-installed dictionary and as you type, you see the choices of objects remaining. Its actually limiting. So it was just a stupid game. I quit playing after 2 days and sold it on the third. Booooring!

Scribblenauts is the most fun you can have with your DS out right now. The amount of things you can create is nearly endless, and the physics engine ensures that you will have a blast playing around with them. Want to see if Hercules could take on a giant Kraken, and a fearsome hydra wielding only a stick? Go ahead, you might be surprised. Want to see if a lawyer piolting a giant mech can defeat a vampire riding a wooly mammoth wielding a bazooka? Actually that sounds really [...], hold on. …… Oh yeah baby! Justice is blind and a really wicked mech fighter. Huh? review… oh right. Anyway awesome experiments like the one I just conducted are nearly limitless! If only the core gameplay held up as well
Creating whatever pops into your head is great, but having to deal with your main characters awful controls nearly ruins the experience. Your creations can fight it out with no problem, but your character is barely able to climb down from the smallest of platforms. The blame lays entirely on the fact that you are forced to control him strictly through the DS touch screen. Maxwell is so touchy that I am tempted to buy a lottery ticket every time he stops 5 feet from the place I wanted. If he ever got my orders right I might start looking for snow in very hot places.
If you can overlook the deeply flawed control scheme you will have hours of fun screwinbg around at the title screen which allows you to create unresricted. Give this game a chance. If not to support an extremely promising developer than to be able to know for yourself that Ninjas fighting Cyborgs, and astronauts is truly awesome.

I’ll admit, this game bleeds creativity. Everything that you can imagine can be typed in and seen in the game. Having said that, there’s not much to do with all that power. Unfortunately there’s a pretty tight limit to how many units can be created in a level. Furthermore, not much really happens once you create these units. You can create units with custom weapons and custom armor and so on, but they all do the same with not much variation(either fight each other or stand there). It’s fun for very casual play, but it definitely lost its appeal after a few days. Was a bit disappointed, but I guess that’s because of the hype surrounding this game. This game is best suited for younger children, as they can apply their imagination to truly appreciate the game. Me however, well I unfortunately got tired of the lack of variation in game play quite quickly.
