ESRB Description wrote:Scribblenauts
Platform: Nintendo DS
Rating: Everyone 10+
Content descriptors: Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief
Rating summary: 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.
Do you still think this game might not be for you?
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.

Especially fun: Anything metal... aim the magnet down and put the magnet on top of the item... zoom!
PSN: Dyvion -- Eternal: Dyvion+9393 -- Genshin Impact: Dyvion
Pros:
Tons and tons of items.
Really fun and challenging puzzles/action levels.
Near limitless possibilities on solving puzzles.
Cons:
My imagination is a lot worse then I thought.
Some puzzles were clearly better thought out then others.
The controls could use some work.
ahahaha oh my
physics fail

I think that's red hair, with headphones on top of that.
You can summon the devil. And god. And they'll fight.

The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
I've found so many uses for large air vents.
The fact that most things have the same weight really makes it versatile.
No actually it is, indeed, a hat of sorts. A rooster hat, in fact. (not his hair because his hair would not wrap all the way around his head and chin like that.. I mean unless he's got a massive five o'clock shadow).

My hair wraps around my head like that, my beard and sideburns and everything else together looks like a helmet.
Still glad I decided to pick it up!
Anyone know what the most badass killing machine in this game is yet?

My vote goes to Scylla.
PSN: Dyvion -- Eternal: Dyvion+9393 -- Genshin Impact: Dyvion
The answer is Edison, it's not really debatable. Everything is a one hit kill. I guess you could argue he's not badass but that is a losing battle because seriously, a T-Rex wearing a headband and fingerless gloves?!

Mecha is cool too, but not as cool as Scylla.

I just covered the floor with large air vents, and I'm now riding an elephant through the sky.
thanks for this
Yeah yeah, we've all had sex with fat chicks on a plane.
On a more serious note, after "completing" the game, I've found that trying to master each level is a PAIN IN THE FUCKING NECK without cheating. Between this and Kingdom Hearts I don't think I've ever seen the red light on my DSi this much.
like the "get past this bully to get to the vending machines but OH HO HO you better not hurt the bully!"
impossible
Is this a reference that hasn't crossed the Atlantic? Because that doesn't sound like the inventor of the light bulb to me.
You also can't have him hit the girl.
I actually just got past this one recently. Read the spoiler to read my method if you're stuck.
I tried giving that to Maxwell, but the bully wakes up almost too quickly before you can rush to a vending machine and grab whatever pops out of it.
Somehow, I ended up giving the tranquilizer gun to the bully. And with that, he goes on a rampage. Maxwell seems to be immune to the tranquilzers, so all you get is a nudge keeping you away from the vending machines. The girl can't be hurt but does fall asleep, so now you don't have to worry about someone getting hurt. HOWEVER, apparenlty Bully + Tranquilzer Gun = add eleventy billion percent strength to the weapon, because when the bully shoots at the vending machines, they get launched! And I mean LAUNCHED!
So you're new problem isn't to avoid hurting or to be hurt. It's to get to a vending machine to pop out candy before the bully knocks it away.
This experience has given me a theory: Give the bully something to put in his hands that he can't use to hurt anyone. I'm sure he'll still act pissed, but it won't be as big of a problem as before.
Hmm.....I wonder if "strait jacket" would work?

Then he killed me.
Haven't tried with a tranquilizer gun though.
Stun gun was useless.
But yeah, after my dart gun method failed on the Bully I just airlifted him away too.
Edit: I just tried this and it's super effective. Works even better then you'd imagine. I'm starting to think

i'd like more levels where the goal was to kill everyone.

Found a new awesome tame flying mount the other day. It's Sphinxes (Sphinxii?) all the way for me from now on!
There's a later puzzle level where you're trying to help an alien who is trapped in a government facility. At the bottom of the level are three cages with strange and wonderful creatures inside, but you can't see their names or get to all of them that easily. One was a flying goat man, I think one was a robot hamster and I don't remember the last one.
Basically they were specifically there to show off some cool oddball creatures.

Okay, so, funny stories.
You know the level in World 2 (I am not far in) where you have to steal the Starite from the museum without harming the police officers? I "solved" that one in a bizarre and incomprehensible manner (even to me):
Uh...
Then there was the level in World 3 where you have to get the caveman fire and a dinosaur egg omelet.
Go try that yourself sometime.
So after I'd restarted the level, determined that I didn't need to get the egg away from the green dinosaur (silly camera tricks!), I went and got the omelet from the other egg and summoned a flame into the neanderthal's cave. The problem was that I put the flame in the far corner of the cave, where the caveman would have to jump up to get it. Right into the stalactite. I was inches from the Starite when he managed to impale himself enough to die and void all my efforts thus far. Aaaargh.
I'm "kupiyupaekio" on Discord.
Also, I skipped past the description of advanced mode, what is it about exactly?
