Scribblenauts Review
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 01:34pm 09/10/09 | 21 Comments
We've spent the better part of the last week attempting to create as many possible physical representations of our ardency as possible, in the infinitely creative Scribblenauts from 5th Cell and Warner Bros. Interactive.

The end result is a game that truly rewards your flexing of grey matter, allowing for all manner of crazy ideas, combinations and puzzle solutions, only slightly let-down by some awkward controls and inconsistent gameplay ideas.

Still, this is a bold game, and one you really need to experience for all its uniqueness. Check out our full review right here.

Its pretty good, something you have to try to really get, because a lot of it is how you solve it using your thinking powers.

Steve I don't know if you mentioned this in your review (I'll have to read it when I get home) but did you know you can go back and redo the puzzles but it must be in a different way to which you originally completed the level?

It's great fun. Love all the different possibilities with the puzzles.
The music is the only thing I'm finding repetative ay the moment.

The first level that i really got stuck on was the one where you had to move the cow. I spent about 20 minutes playing around before i gave up and decided to have a look on the internet for a solution. The main solution that i found which was posted on a number of sites was that you could type UFO to move the cow.... I would have never thought of that.

I was a little bit disappointed in this one, i think all the hype that surrounded this game made me expect too much. It is a really good idea, unfortunately though there are problems with the controls that ruined some of the experience for me.

So you still thought it was short steve? I was watching my little brother play and it seemed like there were a large number of worlds/levels to puzzle through.

You weren't allowed to kill the cow, i didn't think of tornado but i expect it would probably kill a cow.

nah, it's not too short greazy, just doesn't have enough legs to keep me (or anyone else I know), playing through to the end - the novelty is worth more than the actual structured gameplay IMO

A flamethrower is the best way to get a cat off a roof. Also works in Scribblenauts.

I remember that one, i also did trumpet, but i got my character (max) to use the trumpet and that worked.

you can bust out "lingerie" and I made a gimp mask appear too (or maybe it was a generic mask, but it's funny nonetheless)

Bikini also works, made max wear one to finish a puzzle.

Nice job steve. Short and sweet review. I think it's one of those games that would be alot of fun played not solo but "single multiplayer" (ie with other people and sharing your DS around).
