Scribblenautsis the kind of game I would have loved to experience as a kid. In case you didn’t read up onAnthony and Ashley’s discussionof the 5th Cell-developed DS title, you type (or write) words and the game magically creates whatever object you wanted in an overly cute art style. Then, you use said object to solve puzzles.
Assuming the database of potential objects inScribblenautsincludes virtually every type of random thing players could think to try using, and it’s sounding like that’s a definite possibility, it will pretty much be the greatest thing ever for us imaginative types.
In the game’s E3 trailer, we get to see the whale puzzle Anthony used a rock and a net to solve. Personally, I would have used an explosive device to blow the whale to safety, but in the trailer they used a bulldozer. Amateurs.
