Whereas Drawn to Life held players on a mostly taut lead through its adventure, allowing you to draw this and that, Scribblenauts is a puzzle game at heart and the game encourages – or utterly begs – you to experiment. Rather than drawing objects, however, you're exercising your vocabulary and the game takes care of the rest – depositing your selection into the world. There are a few restrictions – no trademarks or proper nouns (names) – but there are some 10,000-odd words to experiment with.
Scribblenauts has long been a series lauded for its wealth of adjectives and nouns. Sometimes, it's astounding to discover exactly how far this can go, and that's why we have gone to the trouble of scouring for the most obscure and curious words that somehow yield results.
Matt from FuzzyPixels presents a list of the top five puzzle games of all time, as well as handing out a couple of special awards.
Having recently found out about Scribblenauts, the fate of 5th Cell is hard to witness.
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.....
But can you blame it? Looks to be HHGOTY.
It's got the entire dictionary in it goddamit!
