Scribblenauts!


So, there's this new game coming out tomorrow for the Nintendo DS called Scribblenauts. It's developed by 5th Cell (the company that did Drawn To Life, another DS title) and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game revolves around the main character, Maxwell, who must solve puzzles to win gold stars. The gameplay is centered in writing words. The game has a dictionary of 22,802 words that the player "writes to life." For example, the player could write "gun" to give the main character a gun so he could shoot a bear. All the objects the player brings into existance can intereact with eachother. For instance, the player could create an elephant, then crate a rocket launcher and give it to the elephant. Then the player could throw a rock at said elephant and the elephant will use the rocket launcher to destroy the player. Since there are 22,802 different things the player can create, the possible combinations of these objects is nearly endless. Its a really interesting idea for a game and seems very well designed. The charater design is fun and playful and the gameplay is very very very intriguing. I'll probably buy the game once its out and post a review of it!
