Zero Punctuation: Scribblenauts
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Did anyone else notice that Yahtzee misspelled Kalishnikov? And then he complained that the game didn't recognize it. I don't have the game myself, so I don't know if spelling it correctly makes a difference, but I'm just saying, check a dictionary before you criticize.
Am I a total idiot for thinking this game might be worth buying... (please don't give a jackass response)
Ooh, harsh....but accurate.
I was disappointed in this game mostly because all of the thousands of objects don't actually do much. Like I tried to distract a cop by summoning a disco, but he could have cared less. I tried to summon an animal trainer to train a unicorn, but there was no interaction, so i tried a virgin, still no love, then a carrot, nothing, a bridle, couldn't be put on the unicorn. So : Helicopter+rope. Works every time. It's an occasional toilet game at best.

It gives suggestions if a word is barely off.Indiscrimi said:
As for Scribblenauts quality, I find it a pretty good game. Its controls are a pain, but I think the creativity outweighs that and keeps me playing. I've found the best way to do it is to avoid rope-like objects, and optimally play in a group of 2-3 people, so crazy ideas are more likely to happen. Though my group of friends is also slightly insane.
Yeah. In fact, he seemed very bored during his review of the game. Maybe that's just me.Anitoon said:
not heard of this game before now
but despite a negative review i want to buy it now lol
though i can imagine it gets boring quickly i live the idea of spawning random objects, despite the bugs that may come with it
the movement sounds pretty frustrating though

I always thought Cthulhu was pronounced Klul-hloo. While we're on the topic of death machines with retarded names, how was Chzo pronounced? Also, if you wait sleeping, how can you find the time to play Scribblenauts? This post has way to many red squiggles.
This is a pretty harsh review, but then I always keep in mind that what I call sandbox fun, Yahtzee often calls bland.
I found the game fun, to a degree.
It's one of those games that is perfect for the DS: You whip it out, play a level or two while waiting for your train/station, then put it away with no reason to continue playing until the next time you're sitting around with nothing to do.
If you're playing it for more than an hour at a time, you're not doing it right - it's like Katamari Damacy, or Lumines.
