The ESRB Struggles to Describe Scribblenauts

[Salem_Wolf]

...this game is going to be awesome...

 

[milomalo]

remake of pokemon and this game is gonna cost me a new ds

 

[Internet Kraken]

Awesome. You know, Adam Sessler said he saw someone type in "Cthulu" and it worked.

There is a video of this. Cthulu battles against a shotgun-wielding God.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

gotta love when a game can make even the ratings board seem odd

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I can't describe it either.

 

[Woe Is You]

I hate to be the killjoy here, but I wouldn't be too hyped about it since 5th Cell has made pretty mediocre games so far.

Drawn to Life tried something eerily similar and fell flat on its face because it just didn't use the concept it had to its fullest. Oh, and the platforming it has was very bland and wonky.

 

[asinann]

I say we start rating everything 5th cell makes as "AO-completely unplayable."
hehe.

On a skateboard.

It was quite possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

The thing is 5th Cell isn't hyping the game so much as the game is itself. Scribblenauts didn't get nearly as much attention before E3 as it did after it, when everyone could get a hold of it. Nearly everyone who's tried it fell in love with it almost instantly. The infamous Post 217 is a good example of this. Yeah, 5th Cell's other games had good concepts that weren't fully realized, but everything else is pointing towards Scribblenauts being a great game.

And that Skateboarding God Vs. Cthulhu battle was epic.

Ah, I remember the videos for this game. I want it. I can also see how the ESRB is having a hard time describing it. They could just say "you can do anything" as trying to specifically describe all the stuff you can do just makes it sound odd.

 

[poyson]

Oh..
My god.

Cthulhu vs. God with shotgun just may be the most awesome thing to ever be in a video game ever ever. I hope it works like it sounds. And not just a game that promised innovation but gave an unrewarding presentation...Like Spore.

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

I so want this game

Where can I find a bigger version of your avatar?

 

[Deleric]

This sounds amazing. I must have it.

 

[randommaster]

The list of things not in the game is apparantly very short, so the ESRB is going to look rediculous trying to describe the most outlandish scenarios.

 

[Video Gone]

This is literally the game I've been waiting for all my life. I've always wanted something like this to mess around with. I knew my DS would soon have apurpose in life again.

 

[nicholaxxx]

no vulgarities, cartoon violence, sounds like an E for me :\

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Personally, I'm not against the idea of attatching steak to babies to attract lions, sounds rather interesting.
