Scribblenauts DS Preview

DS Village writes:

"The tagline for Scribblenauts is "Write Anything". Simply write or type a word into the bottom screen, and the object will magically appear above the main character Maxwell's head. Maxwell can then make use of this object to reach his goal, a magical "Starite" that is constantly out of reach in one of the game's 100 or more levels.

There are some rules to what you can create in Scribblenauts, but not many. The object has to be a noun, but cannot contain any obscure names or copyrighted material. For example, you can't summon "Mario" into existence, as cool as that would be. But you can create a hammer, bear, pizza, boat, or surf board."

The designers of this game say that you can write ANY object and have it appear. Any object? Aren't there something like 30,000 nouns in the English language? How could they even create all of the artwork for that many things?

Examples:

frisbee
golf club
radiator
shot glass
waffle iron
clown costume
snowflake

things just get ridiculous after a certain point.

the problem of scribblenauts is that it just couldn't work on Playstation/Xbox... Nintendo, PC and Mobile was not enough to support the franchise

Why wouldn't it? Think it would work great with the PlayStation second screen app. Doesn't Xbox have something similar too? Use the phone or tablet to type and the controller to play.

I'm not real sure a 2nd screen is even necessary. I've only played the DC Comics one, but they could have easily mapped all of the buttons from the touch screen to a controller to pull up the menus.....
