About this product

Product Information

Developed by gaming company 5th Cell and published by Warner Bros, Scribblenauts for Nintendo DS features a main character named Maxwell who you travel with from one level to the next solving puzzles and navigating through action levels. The objective of this game is to solve puzzles and collect “Starites” by using or summoning objects to help Max on his journey. To navigate Max through the game all you have to do is tap on the touchscreen. Once you see an object that you would like Max to have, simply tap on the object and he will pick it up or interact with the object in some way. For example, if there is a horse you can tap on it so Max can ride to future destinations, or if he is holding a weapon you can tap him to shoot obstacles. Scribblenauts has nearly unlimited possibilities for solving puzzles throughout each level by allowing the player to summon objects by writing them on the screen. For example, writing the word “ladder” can provide Max a way to gain access to a Starite that may be out of reach. The database even has a homonym system that offers distinction between different-sounding names as well as a spellchecker to provide close matches if a word is misspelled. For example, if you write the word “balloon,” you will be given the option to choose between different varieties such as a hot air balloon or toy balloon. Scribblenauts has 220 levels that span over 10 theme areas, all which are ranked on a four-star rating based on difficulty. There are two types of levels: puzzle and action levels. Puzzle levels involve real-life situations (such as saving a trapped character) and Starites are awarded upon determining the solution to complete the puzzle and move forward. Action levels are great for fans of side-scrolling platforms where you lead Max through obstacles in order to reach the end and move on to the next level, collecting Starites along the way. To make things more exciting there are additional challenges that you can do throughout each level to gain extra merits, such as not summoning a weapon to complete the level. Free play can also be unlocked once a level is completed where the player can achieve a gold star for completing the level three consecutive times with no repeat objects. If these options are not enough, there is also a level editor where you can get creative by editing completed levels to provide different outcomes and sharing them with other players on the Nintendo Wi-Fi system. Scribblenauts for Nintendo DS will take you on an exciting and challenging adventure and is suitable for all gamers 10 and up.

An Excellent Time for Kids of All Ages
Whenever it comes to nintendo in general nowadays most of the titles released for their systems can easily be labeled as for kids only. tons of shovelware dealing with pet sims and stuff that would only hold the interest of a ten year old at best. That being said Scribblenauts is a gem in a mine that is otherwise full of coal. This game has more going for it then most large console titles. With it's expansive vocabulary it allows you to do almost anything you can put your mind to. Now with this being said this game is mared by one huge issue, it's controls. You see you use the stylus to mve your character, but you also use your stylus to move items within the area. This can lead to some pretty frustrating moments. I have to wonder why the charchters movements were not mapped to the d-pad, ...

You see you use the stylus to mve your character, but you also use your stylus to move items within the area. This can lead to some pretty frustrating moments. I have to wonder why the charchters movements were not mapped to the d-pad, and the players veiw to the a-b pad? Also for alot of the puzzles being creative is fun but you will find yourself using certian keywords more as they are just dependable, and always get the job done. However, the game does offer one saving roll. The sandbox mode at the title screen. Want to see God fight Satan? Do it. Want to ride a panda running to eat some bamboo? Do it. Want to try to ride a chettah? Don't do it, seriously it tries to kill you. I have to admit myself that whenever I would get stuck, this was my fun zone. All in all Scribblenauts is one of the top games avialable for the nintendo ds and it's easy to grasp gameplay can be entertianing for all ages.

Fun, Creative, Hours of fun
Would definitely recommend this game to any fan of puzzle games. Almost any object you can think of, you can create. All you need to do is right the word and you can use it. The main goal of every puzzle is to obtain a star. The puzzle is trying to figure out how to get it. That's where creativity comes in. Some things you create may seem pointless, some are very useful in ways you wouldn't imagine, others may turn on you. The only thing I dislike about it are the graphics, specifically the way the character walks. Controlling his movement can be quite frustrating at times. Using creations can prove to be a little difficult at first but only takes some getting used to. I bought this as a gift for my wife and she loves it.Would definitely recommend this game to any fan of puzzle games. Almost any object you can think of, you can create.

Excellent in concept, mediocre in execution
Scribblenauts, in theory, is a product of game design genius. It's one of those games that promises a lot (and even delivers) to a platform that few thought possible. You can create virtually any object you can think of and use it. It only makes sense that this idea was used for a puzzle game. Initially, the game is exciting. Your possibilities seem endless. You want to think of the most absurd and creative means to solve the challenge presented to you. But very, very quickly, players will find themselves bored, using the same few objects and techniques over and over again to solve puzzles that end up being repeated in most of the levels. The problem with this game is it's something that works incredibly well on paper, but fails to achieve its intended goal in practice. And that ...

You want to think of the most absurd and creative means to solve the challenge presented to you. But very, very quickly, players will find themselves bored, using the same few objects and techniques over and over again to solve puzzles that end up being repeated in most of the levels. The problem with this game is it's something that works incredibly well on paper, but fails to achieve its intended goal in practice. And that goal, of course, is to entertain. Sure, you can just enjoy a few minutes of screwing around in sandbox mode, testing out all the different objects you can think of. But when it comes to the challenges, the campaign of the game, the fun just seems to get lost in the frustration. The level design is frankly awful, boiling down to incredibly repetitive tasks such as "Get ___ to ___ without killing ___" and solving all your missions with food. By the 3rd "chapter" (of 20!), you'll already discover that the only words you'll need to use are "jetpack" (or "wings"), "food", "rope", "wall", and "bridge ladder". Sure, you should be able to solve the puzzles in any way you'd like, but why would you want to? One would think solving a puzzle a creative way would be rewarding and fun, but when it's just a rehashed goal with a slightly different level design, you simply have nothing there to feed your sense of accomplishment. Aside from the mind-numbing level design, the controls are easily the second most annoying thing about the game. Since all action is done with the touch screen, the difference between a tap and a minor slip of the stylus could mean the difference between you achieving your goal or running off a cliff. And when you spend a good five minutes preparing a perfect layout of objects to set your plan in motion only to accidentally run up to an angry bear, you begin to wonder why they didn't just give you the option to control your character with the directional pad. All in all, the game offers a lot. With 20 worlds containing about 22 levels each, you do have a lot to play with. There's even a level editor for those who want more. Yet the repetitive levels and the frustrating controls can easily be a make or break deal for some. Personally, I don't think it's worth it to buy this game new. Get it used, or even better, try to borrow a copy and see if you like it. It's almost worth it for the instant gratification of being able to make a skateboarding gladiator with a machine gun fight the Kraken in space.

Nice game
Very few, if any at all, US Nintendo DS developers have managed to generate the kind of buzz that 5th Cell has with Scribblenauts. When the game made its public debut at the Electronic Entertainment Expo earlier this year, the game hopped on a massive hype train because of its insanely ambitious concept. I mean, have you ever heard of a puzzle game that gives the player the ability to conjure up any object they can think of? That's exactly what Scribblenauts promises, and the developers fully deliver on that promise. If I reviewed this game on concept alone, it'd score a ten, easy: Scribblenauts is an incredibly versatile Nintendo DS experience. It's also extraordinarily unique, one of the very rare Nintendo DS games that just can't be compared to anything else on the market. But the ...

I mean, have you ever heard of a puzzle game that gives the player the ability to conjure up any object they can think of? That's exactly what Scribblenauts promises, and the developers fully deliver on that promise. If I reviewed this game on concept alone, it'd score a ten, easy: Scribblenauts is an incredibly versatile Nintendo DS experience. It's also extraordinarily unique, one of the very rare Nintendo DS games that just can't be compared to anything else on the market. But the package as a whole has a few quirks in it that has the unfortunate effect of putting unnecessary frustration into the experience. To enjoy Scribblenauts you'll have to put up with a few hindrances along the way: awkward control and behavior that's just too much to ignore. But first, the fantastic: the core concept within Scribblenauts is something so ambitious that you'd have all the rights in the world to be a skeptic. The game is a 2D side-scrolling platform-like experience where the idea is to use any realworld object to solve the problem at hand. The designers encourage you to conjure up anything you can think of by typing or handwriting it on the touchscreen: as long as it's not a trademarked item (Twinkee, Pokemon, Superman), or an alcoholic beverage (beer, wine, whiskey), or a vulgar word (insert every possible version of "penis" here), there's an outstanding chance that you can bring it up for use within Scribblenauts. The library is insanely vast and the first task you'll find yourself falling into is seeing if you can simply stump it and come up with words that aren't in the game. You can and you will -- as deep as the vocabulary is you won't find everything in Scribblenauts, but the fact of the matter is you actually have to try to stump it to stump it.
