PNG Review – Scribblenauts

Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Ent.
Developer:  5th Cell
MSRP: $29.99

Grade: C-

 

It’s been awhile since I was as pumped and let the hype of a video game get to me the way that Scribblenauts did.  The early previews and word on the street painted this game as the second coming of innovation.  Scribblenauts would allow you to use a word list of over 20,000 words to let your imagination go wild in solving numerous puzzles to retrieve mystical starites.  It was what 5th Cell was coining as “emergent gameplay”.  As the subtitle suggests, you could write anything and solve everything.  While the game is charming and it’s fun to see how certain things interact, the controls, camera, and some confusing interactions really drag this game down.

Cthulhu vs God vs Tatsunoko vs Capcom vs Damage to the Billions

So you think you followed E3 pretty hardcore eh?  I thought so too until I started perusing through the awards that were given out between the different media publications.  I missed two games completely, than upon finding them, I was very impressed.  In one case I was blown away.  I’d like to point out these two games, as they may just give Wii owners that much needed Street Fighter 4 game.  Also, for you DS owners out there, that game for you to explore your creativity and play something that might just be one of the best ideas to ever hit video gaming.
