DS Review: Scribblenauts
1 Comment// Posted in Reviews by Sean on 09.13.09.
This game rocks. That’s all there is too it. It’s simply spectacular and without a doubt the best DS game ever created. But I guess i’ll tell you what it is, for those who don’t know.
Scribblenauts is the most ambitious game on the DS to date. It is a puzzle game where you type in an object/person/thing on a keyboard which puts that object/person/thing on screen to solve puzzles. And it literally has everything you can think of from a shoe to keyboard cat. You can type in any non-proper noun that isn’t copy written or vulgar. Out of around 100 things that I typed in, maybe 2 of them didn’t work.
You also play as a kid displayed on screen. So one level has you, a tree, and a lumberjack on screen, and the game tells you to help the lumberjack do his job to win the level. So you can give yourself an axe or saw to cut the tree down, or you can give either of them to the lumberjack for him to do it, or you can make fire and burn the tree down, or you can make a woodpecker who will chop the tree down; and there are probably many, many other ways to go about it.
That is what I love about this game. The most fun of the game is just to think of the most creative thing you can think of to solve the puzzle, and the game encourages it by giving you awards for thinking outside the box.
I once had to get the starite (what you need to win the level) which was in a very small space that I couldn’t fit into. So in order to get it, I created a ‘guy’ and gave him a shrink ray. But I couldn’t get him to shoot me, so I gave myself a gun and shot him, which made him freak out and start shooting me. Upon doing this, I fell down a cliff and had to get back up, so I made a jetpack. But since I was shrunkin, the jetpack was too big for me to use. So I had to walk behind the jetpack and make the ‘guy’ shoot the jetpack with the shrinkray so I could use it. Then I got the star.
On another level, I had to get something to push and hold down a horizontal button. You can’t issue commands, so what I did was put a girl inside of a car, and then I put a zombie behind her car. The girl then start driving the car into the button trying to get away from the zombie.
So the bottom line is that you need to get this game if you have a DS. Melissa seemed to like it too, so it’s good for those people trying get their girlfriends to play games too I guess. I have also seen on message boards that apparently if you buy the game at Toys R Us on Tuesday (Tuesday only!), you get a $15 gift card back, which makes the game pretty much half price.
Scribblenauts releases on Tuesday, September 15th. Buy it!
