Scribblenauts

Scribblenauts is a completely original gameplay experience that anyone can play, offering fun for all ages with two styles of gameplay and more than 200 levels. In Scribblenauts, 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 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 under par, earns “Ollars”, the in-game currency, which players can use to purchase new levels and music.

User Reviews about Scribblenauts

My 8 1/2 yr old loves this game and I definitely prefer it over his other favorites like Bakugan and Batman. This game actually makes him think and be creative and he has so much fun playing it. -- mom of 5

And I don't feel guilty about them playing it. My boys (ages 7 and 5) have spent hours playing this game and I love all the spelling, imagination and creativity involved. I would highly recommend it. -- My boys LOVE this game

Ever wanted to see what would happen if zombies went to war against pirates? Well, then this is the game for you.(By the way the zombies usually win.) Although the controls are kinda stupid, its easy to get around it. -- From Aardvarks to Zombies....

My 7 year old loves this game, and I must admit I'm a little hooked too. The game offers you a puzzle, or a character who needs something. You write a word, and poof! that thing appears. There are multiple ways to solve each puzzle, and you get points for being creative. It starts simple - you encounter a character who is hungry (write "spaghetti" and a plate of spaghetti appears) or a platform which is too tall to jump (write "ladder" or "stairs" or "trampoline"....). It gets more complicated from there. There is a lovely tutorial mode to teach you how to use it, which is great for those who learn better by doing than by reading the booklet. Some reading skills (grade 2 or 3) or adult help are required, and of course spelling to solve the puzzles. This isn't a fast action game, it's more of a cerebral puzzle game, but it is addictive and very educational. -- Wicked cool - and educational too!
