  • A unique
  • Charming experience unlike anything you have ever seen before.
  • Lots of levels to solve. Level creator. Can change your avatar. Can play around on the title screen and test new words/items. Tons of items available.

The editors didn't like

  • Finding out exactly what the game wants you to do
  • Clunky controls
  • Relying too much on the stylus sometimes makes the game control poorly.
  • Loose controls
  • Sometimes weak instructions
  • Spotty controls
  • Unexpected item behavior
  • Cumbersome control scheme
  • Lack of intelligent hint system
  • Inconsistent puzzle design
  • Serious control issues
  • Sometimes baffling objectives.
  • Some items look the same as others. Control issues get in the way.
  • Touch screen controls sometimes fail you. Items may not behave realistically. Timer and “par” hamper creativity in levels. Easy to fall into a lull
  • Using the same items over and over. Physics are off.

  • Abstract:  Certainly one of the most innovative games to be produced in a long while, Scribblenauts by developer 5th Cell begins as an utter delight. A puzzle game at heart, the levels are split into action or puzzle challenges, both requiring you to ne...

  • Abstract:  One of the things I criticize DS games for is a lack of innovation on such an innovative platform. The dual screens, the touchpad, the wifi, microphone (and now the cameras) are all begging for something a little out of the ordinary to spring up.Occas...

  • The limitless scope. Over 15,000 objects to interact with. Great sound effects. An amazing platform to learn from as well as explore.
  • Stylus might be a bit tricky for younger users.

  • Abstract:  It's great to see something like Scribblenauts hit the market this year. There's been this recession thing happening. If you don't know what that is, it basically means no one spends any money and everyone gets bummed out. Companies that make products ...

  • Abstract:  Scribblenauts is a hell of a lot of fun and, due to the nature of the challenge, it's a great leveller for the entire family. It wouldn't surprise us at all to see a youngster with an overactive imagination solving puzzles that leave hardcore gamers s...

  • Abstract:  When Scribblenauts made its debut at E3 earlier this year, it was the talk of the show, with more than a few columnists getting all in a tizzy and ranking it as the most impressive prospect of the show. Now that it’s finally with us it’s plain to see w...

  • The ingenious game play and being able to solve levels multiple ways
  • The fiddly control system – one false move and you're drowning in lava
  • Scribblenauts isn't the revolutionary game it was touted as but it's addictive enough to make up for its failings...

  • Even if we weren’t to consider such highbrow connotations, Scribblenauts is still a brilliant game in its own right. 5th Cell has managed something very difficult: creating a game that’s at once simple and also incredibly complex, and doing so...
