It's about innovation Like I said, the game is very creative, with basic graphic and intuitive gameplay, the game's fun to play.

Outstanding sometimes a game developer takes a leap of faith and produces a game that takes our dreams after 20 years of gaming and makes them a reality....you think it or draw it and that imagination comes to life pretty much within the boundary of the DS.
Forget any negatives,yes a few exist and that is why we have sequels,until then buy this,support the developer and design team and enjoy one of the best gaming moments that i can remember in the past 20 years......SUPERB 5/5

Great puzzle game Scribblenauts is one of must fun puzzle games I've played. At first you may think that the ability to create (almost) anything will make everything easier, but that's not the case (except for the first levels). On one hand, there are thousands of objects and interactions between them, so it's not always obvious how they will interact. On the other, it's very easy to have an object in your mind and you simply don't remember it's name - if english is not your first language, it will be worse. The game comes with other languages (french, spanish, portuguese), but there's not always a one-to-one correspondence between objects. (e.g. portuguese "escada" gives 2 options, one of them is the english "ladder", the other I wish I knew - it shows up as a bigger ladder).
The only complaint I have is that - as you only interact with the stylus - it's easy to move your character by accident (like when you try to click on a object and miss, the click makes Maxwell go to the point clicked).
Note: the portuguese translations have a few of mistakes (don't know how many, because I'm playing it in english)
Note 2: yes you can write "starite". No, this won't make you win the level. :-)

Interesting idea Scribblenauts is probably the most interesting and original game I've played in awhile. It has an amazingly long list of different things you can use to accomplish your goals. As an English teacher, I had a lot of fun when I brought the game out for my students to try. It was also fun trying to stump the game by asking for obscure things. My favourite reaction was when I put a realist on the screen at the same time as God. That being said, it was frustrating at times. Certain things couldn't be used in the way I had intended them to be used. The character is sometimes impossible to control. One wrong tap with your stylus and he would run headlong into danger. It's a fun game for awhile and I'll probably go back to it when I travel, but it's definitely not something I'll play with everyday.

No title Amazing concept, but the execution doesn't always work, due to issues with the controls, and things not working how you might want them to. It's as fun as you make it, though, and finding different solutions to the puzzles is a lot of fun, as well as frequently hilarious.
