Author Topic: Scribblenauts  (Read 13894 times)

Despite of all the announcements for popular, big-budget game franchises at this year's E3, one of the most talked-about titles is a puzzle game for the Nintendo DS called Scribblenauts. In a hands-on preview, Joystiq described it thus: "The premise of the game is simple — you play as Maxwell, who must solve various puzzles to obtain Starites spread across 220 different levels. To execute the aforementioned solving, you write words to create objects in the world that your cartoonish hero can interact with. It's a simple concept that's bolstered by one astounding accomplishment from developer 5th Cell: Anything you can think of is in this game. (Yes, that. Yes, that too.)" They even presented it with a test of 10 words they wouldn't expect it to know or be able to represent, including lutefisk, stanchion, air, and internet, and the game passed with flying colors. The game will also allow players to edit and share levels. A trailer is available on the Scribblenauts website, and actual gameplay footage is posted at Nintendorks.

This game kooks some some cheap thing, so does the people who are making it.

But it is love for those with imagination. Apparently they're also going to let in user content, so expect Gordan freeman with a crowbar to kill some zombies for you.

Oh god I'm going to love that game.

People with huge vocabularies are going to win at this. :D

I know :D

I need to dig out my DS so I can play it. See? we aren't all crazed gunmen, lots of gamers like mental challenges :D

They probably uploaded the dictionary in there.

I wonder what happens when you try to make something they would deem "inappropriate"...

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 **** 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 **** 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 **** dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a **** DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the **** out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I **** TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHER**** ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.



Also, There are torture devices in the game lol.

RAWR DINO KILL TEH ZOMBIES!

Dear god I'm going to have so much fun in this game. I call steamrolling a zombie first!
