Scribblenauts Nintendo DS Review

Posted by Clyde Arrowny On August - 14 - 2009
What is Scribblenauts?
It’s a puzzle game built on one very simple but insane premise:

“Write ANYTHING. Solve EVERYTHING.”

So what do we exactly mean by ANYTHING?

Here is a list of the rules:
Concrete Objects Only
No Proper Nouns
No Copyrighted Words
No Adjectives
E-E10 rated words only – this means No Vulgar/Offensive/Lewd/Drug/Alcohol related words

Other than that..anything goes.

I know we’re being really vague, but there’s a reason for it. Want a better understanding about the gameplay? Here’s what one person had to say about it (and excuse the language, folks):

“Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don’t know, maybe. It’s a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.

So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn’t quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn’t work, a torch didn’t work, a pickaxe didn’t work. In my frustration, I wrote in “Time Machine”. And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There’s nothing you can’t do.

Holy fucking shit.”

Head over to Amazon for pre-order details.
