"Stupid fun!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you are like me and have a mind that tends to wander then you will love this game. If you want it then there is a good chance then you can summon it to help you get to that darn Star! Use jam to fill in holes if you like… I did!

"The greatest handheld game ever created."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

What better use for you Nintendo DS than being able to do ANYTHING. Thats right, Scribblenauts is a puzzle game which allows you to use any (non copyrighted) thing you can imagine to help Maxwell find the “starite”. If the starite is in a tree, write the word “chainsaw” into you DS to chop it down. Or if you are in a blow stuff up mood, summon a bomb to blow the tree up. If you are worried about your character (maxwell) looking strange, you can purchase new avatarsto replace him. I use the Ninja. Ofcourse with all great games come annoying controls. The only way to move maxwell is by pressing you stylus to the touch screen, which means that sometimes when you are trying to place an item your character will run into lava or off a cliff. That control scheme is honestly the only bad aspect of this game, and the fact that the game is only limited by your own imagination over-compensates for this drawback. I myself am what some call a hardcore gamer, and I can safely say that Scribblenauts is right up there with Halo 3, Gears of War 2 and all other major game titles of our generation. If you have a DS, you need this game more than you need Pokemon, now that is saying something.

"For All Ages"
4 stars"

This is an awesome game. The ways in which you can solve levels are truly mind boggling when you start playing it. I had 4 people crowding round each having their own way of doing the level.

Take the first level of getting the starite down from the tree i used an axe then chainsaw then a needle (took longer but works). After that you don't want to use the obvious way of completing the level…like tying balloons to a bath tub and floating up to catch a butterfly.

Only thing wrong is the controls are a bit strange when it comes to shooting weapons if you don't target something it might take a few taps for him to realize you want to just fire the weapon.

Great game and the main reason that games are good is longevity. If you haven't solved one level more than 5 times you really arn't trying hard enough

Description

Scribblenauts is a completely original gameplay experience that anyone can play, offering all-age fun fun for all ages with two styles of gameplay and more than 200 levels. In Scribblennauts, players use the Nintendo DS touch-screen to help their character Maxwell acquire the starite in each level by solving a series of puzzles armed with their stylus, notepad and imagination. Players jot down the word for any object that comes to mind in order to reach the goal. Every object behaves as it would in the real world, and players can combine countless objects to create completely new scenarios. Every level has more than one written object to use as a solution, opening up the game to extensive endless replay.

In Scribblenauts, players advance through ten worlds, each with eleven puzzle and eleven action levels for a total of 220 challenges to complete. Each level has a “par” for the number of objects suggested to finish the level. Beating a level with fewer objects than under par, earns “Ollars”, the in-game currency, which players can use to purchase new levels and music.

Features:
  • Create Your Own Interactive Experience: Objects you write down in the game are only limited by your imagination.
  • Everyone Can Play: All-ages pick-up-and-play fun for everyone.
  • Touch-screen Controls: Easy to pick up and play on Nintendo DS. If you can tap, you can play!
  • Unlimited Replay Value: Use less objects to increase your score, or experiment with different objects for endless replay value. Write anything; solve everything!
  • Playground Mode: Play the entire game in a sandbox style right on the title screen.
  • Revolutionary MultiplayerCreate and Share Levels Online: Share levels you create with the Level Editor via Nintendo DS Wi-Fi Connection.
  • Innovative New Title from Leading Developer: 5TH Cell, the creator of the Drawn to Life franchise and Lock's Quest, has experience creating high-quality, innovative DS games.
