Scribblenauts

Average. And I'm not the only one who thinks so, right?

This game, Scirriblenauts, is, sadly, average. I must say that this game has, very much so, disappointed me. The idea of having a game where you can write almost anything and it spawns, then you can use it. It's great. But sadly the game isn't. The controls aren't good, and the camera is sometimes annoying. But it does have some upsides.

Gameplay: The gameplay in this game is good, you must write something to figure out the puzzle or get to the Starite. That's about it.

Story: There is none.

Characters: The only repeating character in the game is Maxwell. He's a kid (I think) who can write anything in a notebook, and it magically comes into the world. And really it's anything.

Idea of the game: The idea is EXCELLENT. Sadly, the game isn't. You can spawn stuff into the world, anything pretty much, but that's all you can do.

This game would be better if it had a story line, or anything. All you can do is spawn things, and then interact with them. It isn't fun after, probably 8 or 9 hours. Because all of the levels are repetitive. Although it is an excellent idea, it isn't that great. I wouldn't recommend this.

Pros:
+ Can write almost anything and it'll appear
+ Cute graphics

Cons:
- Hard to think of different words (at least for me)
- Nothing to do except spawn different things
- Awful controls
- Boring after awhile

  Ambition Over Gameplay

  I greatly anticipate the majority of readers to look at that score, completely ignore my review and give it a thumbs down. That's a shame, too, since many folks will miss out on what I feel are valid issues that probably... Read Full Review
