This game has been all over the internet since people started demoing it at E3. Personally, I think this game looks amazing. I can't wait for it.

I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wandering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out.

Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.

So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.

Holy fucking shit.

I've researched more into this game. When it comes out, it will then be top-priority.

AQua's quote.

I thought the same as Foxman at first, but AQua's quote seems pretty convincing.

Seriously, just search for it on Google. This instantly cleared up any doubts I had of this game.

I've heard so much about this that's made me want to buy it, even though I have no clue what the actual gameplay is like. >.>

Also my DS is broken

This game looks AMAZING. I remember reading a magazine about almost any word can be used in the game. No swear words, questionables, copyrighted stuff (most at least), verbs, that sort of thing.

Although, it would be another Lite, and not one of those terrible DSi's.

Edit: Just realised this was actually confirmed by one of the games developers. This will truly be one of the greatest games ever.

Impossible, anything will show up as long as it isn't vulgar or copywritten. I'm pretty sure manbearpig fall in one of those. But it would be awesome to see it in this game.

I thought I'd mention, Edge is having a Twitter competition. http://www.edge-online.com/features/scribblenauts-competition You just have to come up with a solution to puzzle 10-6. Three winners get free copies of Scribblenauts.

EINSTEIN


Read the ESRB listing. Just read it.

Scribblenauts' ESRB Said:
This is a puzzle game in which players navigate a series of traps, puzzles, and enemies to collect stars scattered throughout the colorful levels. Players have the ability to summon different objects by writing/typing in the word (e.g., bike, spaceship, lion) and watching it come to life. If multiple words are entered in a sequence, different whimsical scenarios can be triggered: a bicycle can be used to jump over a baby; a bulldozer can clear away a shark; and cabbage can be fed to dinosaurs. Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man). These triggered animations are minimally depicted and are usually accompanied by popping, musical sound effects; bright, star-shaped flashes; or small puffs of smoke. If players wish to, they may type in the word vomit, which causes a beige-colored lump to appear on the screen.


Let me reiterate that: attaching steak to babies to attract lions.

This is a first day purchase for me, without a doubt.

So, This games actually been out for more than a week now, and I must say it's an amazing game. Not everything works as you'd expect, and controls are pretty bad, but still, I'm willing to forgive it's flaws while I throw old ladies and children into my velociraptor pit.

After a lot of the reviews of this saying it's almost unplayable at times due to bad mechanics I think I'm gonna wait for number 2. Tophat off to the guys though, they tried something no other company dared to do with the number of objects.

It could be interested to see a console version of the game with Little Big Planet style multiplayer though :-D *dreams*

Also for those of you interested in whats in the game to be summoned

Don't go looking if you don't want the mystery spoilt for you cause that has all 22,802 words listed!

I wouldn't say unplayable. They're very aggrivating at times, but it's playable.

I was reading the comments from that article and people were discussing their crutches (meaning what object/being they rely on most) and one guy said this:
Surlent Said:
My crutch is God, sadly. I throw him at all the angry enemies. Wielding Mjolnir.

Best. Crutch. EVER!
Those were my two cents.
If you have any other questions, please deposit a quarter.
