The game plays out in an almost open world fashion as Maxwell explores interconnected areas doing good deeds for citizens to earn Starites - glowing collectibles that will remove a curse placed on his sister. Both aspects seem to contradict one another and don't really fit. Although expanded adjectives do let you give objects new properties, they water down the challenge somewhat thanks to the easy nature of the game's puzzles. Here, you can simply attach an adjective to the bully to make him less threatening. If stuck you could have simply typed "gun" and shot the bastard. This could then trigger some kind of mad chain reaction to dispel the pest. In previous Scribblenauts titles you were often asked to use glue to bind objects together in order to reach higher platforms or build ramps for your "Rocket-Powered Skateboard" to jump across.

Plucky word-smith Maxwell has to scribble down a word or series of words in his magic notebook to remove the bully. Here's a practical example: One area of the game takes place in a school, and in the corridor you come across a tough kid holding a geeky wimp hostage in a locker. "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool." Legendary playwright and poet William Shakespeare wrote this back in the 17th century and it applies to Scribblenauts Unlimited today, a game based almost entirely on the power of wordplay.Īlthough 5th Cell has tried to make a smart game by expanding its adjective mechanic, the end result is a title that - while as charming as ten puppies frolicking in a bucket of baby ducklings - is almost completely devoid of challenge. Try giving "Mario" a "mushroom" and have him face-off against "Bowser". The game also includes a number of easter eggs from Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. In Scribblenauts Unlimited, developer 5th Cell gives players more adjective options than before, with the ability to add colour and various other properties to objects. Super Scribblenauts hit Nintendo DS in 2010 and threw adjectives into the mix for the first time. The first Scribblenauts title launched on Nintendo DS in 2009, and became renowned for its charm, smart puzzles and clever use of word-play. Scribblenauts Unlimited turns words into whimsy in many new ways, so why then does it feel rather empty? Dave Cook takes pencil and notebook in hand to find out.
