Eurogamer: Scribblenauts Review

Eurogamer writes: "I find it hard to believe anyone could play for more than six or seven levels before just typing in random things to see if they're there and whether they can beat Cthulhu in a fight. But then, doing that is utterly brilliant. It's like trying to wash the car and ending up having a water fight. The water fight is tons more fun than the car washing, but then you're wet and tired and it's time for tea".

Wow, I was expecting a 10 or something

SnuggleBandit5355d ago

hmm...not getting as good of reviews as it seemed like it was gonna. It got a few best of show awards from e3 didn't it?

Hideous Kojima5355d ago

Can't wait for tomorrow, the game is going to be great.

mal_tez925355d ago

They are NOT a reliable or credible review source.
I usually check IGN or even gametrailers has proven to be good as of late.

kwyjibo5355d ago

Actually read the review.

It's a fantastic review, really captures the joy and the flaws of the game. Just reading the single quoted paragraph above manages to capture the spirit of the game better than anything in the IGN review.

SuperM5355d ago

and not surprised at all.

The premise of the game is cool, but it never looked all that fun and appealing to me. Granted its cool that you can type in over 20k different words and they will pop up on screen, but that also means that the features of each item and even the features of the game itself has to be very simple to make it possible to have that many different items.

The gameplay itself looks plain boring. The only cool thing is to type in words, and while that can be very cool for the first few hours it seems like the kind of thing that will get very boring a little bit to soon.

Seems like he wanted to give the game a higher score but couldn't given the controls. I'll be very interested in how this stacks up against other reviews.

the problem of scribblenauts is that it just couldn't work on Playstation/Xbox... Nintendo, PC and Mobile was not enough to support the franchise

grashopper2968d ago

Why wouldn't it? Think it would work great with the PlayStation second screen app. Doesn't Xbox have something similar too? Use the phone or tablet to type and the controller to play.

CorndogBurglar2968d ago

I'm not real sure a 2nd screen is even necessary. I've only played the DC Comics one, but they could have easily mapped all of the buttons from the touch screen to a controller to pull up the menus.....
