Super Scribblenauts

So, have the controls been fixed satisfactorily?

Pretty much. Oh, and the Time Machine has a dozen destinations to pick from.

YES.

If this game gets great reviews we can pretty much say "Yeah, that first game? It doesn't exist. THIS is Scribblenauts."

(i dunno what the constraints are for double posts)

Super 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. By typing in whatever nouns they can imagine, players can conjure up a myriad of different objects or entities into the game world. By adding adjectives, players can also modify these nouns to create different word combinations, triggering innumerable whimsical scenarios such as: a "flaming snowman" that can set a Christmas tree on fire; a "homicidal house" that can attack a man; and a "carnivorous bike" that can eat a corpse. Players can also 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 bat can be used to club a skydiver; guns can be fired at smelly zombies; a knife can be given to a murderous computer to attack a merman). 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.

God I love the ESRB. I think the random adjectives and noun pairings (smelly zombies? a murderous computer attacking a merman?) show that they were having a whole lot of fun with this game.

Trust me, it's a much fuller game than the first one, which frankly to me felt like a tech demo.

...How do you give a computer a knife? It has no arms...

Looks like a big improvement. Gonna pick this up ASAP!

I enjoyed the first one despite its flaws, so I'm definitely getting this.

I never played the first one because of it's flaws, so I'm definitely getting this.

So, there's a good chance I can create a man-eating marigold?

Yes.

How about a giant midget?

(Neeeeeeeh Neeeeeeh!)

^ Hear that? That's my brain exploding.

Clapping hand?

Nice Cthulhu, Heroic Werewolf, Petrified Vampire, Evil Abraham Lincoln.

Oh, and they replaced the Presidents- Didn't I say that before?

Exploding Pants? Or maybe Sharpened Herring? (for those who, like me, were disappointed to find out that no, you couldn't chop down a tree with a herring in the first game :p)

...yeah, I got nothing.

There might arise the need for a whole thread about what could be your favorite Super Scribblenauts combination. I'm patenting Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot.

S Ounds like they've went all out with this game.

^^ Now, hold on, no one has said that multiple descriptors would produce different effects. Don't get too hyped.

EVIL!God with a shotgun vs GOOD!Cthulu.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!

^^ I believe we've already seen a trailer with an Angry Armed Winged Elephant.

They do- adjectives stack. Which means not only can you have a Friendly Cthulu- you can have a Friendly Orange Giant Cthulu!

They need to do a PC version so they can definitely do moar.

^ This. Just this.

I wonder if you could make "time-travelling" objects, like a police box, phone booth, or sports car.
