Tim McDonald pulls out the thesaurus for Scribblenauts.
From the article: "Scribblenauts is an excellent example of misdirection, because we've all been fooled. With every early reveal, I know that my thoughts, at least, were along the lines of 'Is that possible? How do they do that? That can't work like that, can it? How've they got so many words in there?' and then, inevitably, '...I wonder if they've included X in there?' where X is anything from Santa to Satan to Cthulhu to Longcat."
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.....
That's kinda disappointing... I don't know if the controls would bother me too much in a puzzle game though and it sounds inventive enough that I want to try it. Think I'll pick it up anyway. Sounds like they got the really important stuff right :)
I think it sounds marvellous. I really like the idea, and since I have the list of all 20k words, it's interesting.
I am not using it to cheat though, I just thought it would be cool to have!
I love the game been playing through it recently. Think its something which could last for a while trying to find loads of words.
