Scribblenauts: Sweet Hat, Sweeter Game!


I pre-ordered this game called Scribblenauts and as a reward received this neat hat.

The main character in the game wears the same sort of hat. The game is about a character who creates things by writing words in order to solve puzzles. There are over 22,000 words that the game will recognize and render, with varying levels of interactivity. It is incredibly fun and interesting to me. I have already derived enough fun from this game to justify the asking price and I am only 1/5th done with it.

Here are some examples of things that can be done:
-Shock a cadaver and watch it come to life as a Zombie/Frankenstein style monster!
-Make a Pegasus-creature and glue a steel spike on its head so you have a super, flying, unicorn! (You could always spawn a normal unicorn but then it wouldn't fly.)
-You can make a seed then use some fertilizer on it and then water it to grow a flower!
-You can feed donuts to cops until they go to sleep so you can sneak past them, or distract people with money.

The game's not perfect by any stretch but it is great and much more fun than frustrating. It is for the Nintendo DS or DSi. And I would recommend it to anyone who can have a fun time by exploring the relationships that this game has programmed in.

Here is a link to the Scribblenauts section of a site that aggregates reviews: metacritic.
