Scribblenauts is a brilliant concept, nicely executed, but unfortunately with some small flaws (although 5th Cell has proved their dedication to the game by programming in thousands of items and their behaviours – you can even create members of the development team and the 5th Cell logo itself if you want). The ability to summon almost any object you can think of, and then use it to solve a problem offers myriad possibilities for experimentation, however control, path-finding and camera issues can lower the enjoyment of what the game has to offer.
The level editor shows promise though, and a lot of fun is to be had in the sandbox mode as well. It's worth trying out at least, and if you persevere with the game despite the aforementioned problems there's a lot to enjoy.
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.....
