Using your imagination is boring. That's the lesson of Scribblenauts, a game where you can conjure almost any item just by typing its name; the only practical limit is your own creativity. The game's puzzles are open-ended, so when you need to help a lumberjack chop down a tree, you can give him an axe, or sic termites on the tree's trunk and let nature do the work. There's a heady excitement about this anything-is-possible premise, which leads to a letdown once it becomes clear that the reality of Scribblenauts is far more modest.
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.

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.....
