Hey,


So I picked up "Super Scribblenauts" for the DS last month I haven't played it all the way through but I am digging it so far.
The Scribblenauts games were developed by 5th cell media, the same group that gave us the game "Drawn to Life".
For those of you that don't know about the scribblenauts games, I'll just hit ya with a quick description.

You play as the character "Maxwell" in the side scrolling world of Scribblenauts, you are constantly being presented puzzles.
Example:

"In front of you are 10 dinosaurs, you must find a way to kill them all without using meteors or weapons."

As absurd as this puzzle sounds that's the basic flow of the game, being a scribblenaut you are able to bring into existense anything you write, this is your tool for solving all of your puzzles, the best part is being able to be real creative about how you do it.

For solving the puzzle I wrote "Virus" and it killed all of the dinosaurs, I could have easily wrote "black hole" which would have sucked them all into nothingness, or even 'flying zombie" which would have finished them off also.
Upon solving the puzzle you receive a "Starite" which unlocks more levels.
Every level is different, and all the puzzles are very challenging.
The biggest improvement in super scribblenauts is that you can now use adjectives when writing an objects description, so that robot you summon can now be a giant-flying-evil-rideable-wooden-robot, or whatever you want it to be.

There is also a sandbox mode you can play with if you just want to mess around.

This game is really great and a big improvement from the first installment.


Check it out.
