My bloody Scribblenauts has STILL not arrived from the US. I'm seriously hoping that CD Universe has rubbish postage, because the alternative would be that Australian Post has lost the 3rd (or 4th?) item I've ordered online in the last six weeks.

The thing I love about Australian Post is how if they lose your shit, nobody gives a flying ****. Majority of the time things are fine, but when 3-4 items go missing in just over a month, you start to wonder just WTF is going on.

I don't think there was any kind of postal tracking on the game I ordered (don't remember, I should email them anyhow) but I'm sure as hell not going to let it happen again. Think I'll just go and buy the game this week in store. Can't believe I pre-ordered like 2 months ago (or whenever they first had pre-order at CD Universe for Scribblenauts) and still don't have it. Defeats the whole point of pre-ordering really.

At least with registered post you have some options - but when the post loses your hyper magazine sub - what can you do? There's no registered post for that sort of thing. It's like being a up a certain creek, without a paddle.

I'm grateful the postal service is good 99% of the time, but lately I'm just pissed off at losing things in the mail, but what is the bloody alternative, not buy anything?

The controls are really getting me down. I just completed a puzzle challenge and I was in a balloon. As I floated towards my Starite reward, the balloon kicked off sideways and killed the flower collector chick and I had to restart. Turned the effing thing off straight away.

God, as much as I like the game, it gets horribly frustrating sometimes. I just spent half an hour trying to complete a puzzle that I knew how to do - I just kept dying because of the idiot control scheme.

Got fed up waiting and just went and bought it at a store. If the preorder ever turns up, a friend can have it. So far I'm loving it, but it's only the second day. Have not had any issues with the controls so far, but some stages seem to make you fail for no reason whatsoever - the starite appears, no rules are broken but then it goes "fail". But that has only happened on certain stages.

Today, I made a ninja swim in the water and kill a pirana. Yesterday I made two wrestlers fight each other just for the heck of it, and of course summoned Chthulu - mainly to see the character model - which looks pretty cool.

The seamonster (serpent) looks pretty sweet too. I'm really enjoying replaying the stages using different objects, and going for the gold star rank.

*Yesterday God knocked off my bra - I don't know if that means he's like secretly a bra-burning hippie or something, and at one point God was literally kicking my ass.

Been playing this like mad this past weekend.

It's good to mess around on the blank title screen levels (more space)

Stupid /fun things to do....

*God VS The Devil in a Chainsaw Death Match (apparently the devil is as tough as a dead sock)

*You and God on Dirtbikes (chainsaw and shotgun for weapons) vs a T-Rex... or two T-rex's

*Spawn your favourite *friendly* dinosaur. Spawn a jet pack. Wear jetpack and ride the dinosaur. Then fly with your jet-dino-combo.

*Spawn a "GAF" - don't know what it is, but it sure is useful!

*Spawn a Flying Carpet (best cheaters item around, right up there with "tank")

*Spawn a grappling hook, use it on a human and then drag them around

*Spawn a "backpack", "propeller" and maybe "glue"? Wear the backpack, attach the propeller... and see what happens

*In world 2, (bust the pinata birthday stage) - spawn "player" and watch him steal the presents while saying "yoink!" (may need to break open the box in the right corner first with the gameboy-like toy inside)

*Spawn 4-5 pieces of "dynamite" and drop a lighter or fire on them, best to do in a crowded level and watch things disappear Lemmings style

*Spawn a "bomb" and put in a corner. Spawn an elephant, any person you want to ride on the elephant, put them on it's back, then put "fire" next to the elephant and watch it run into the corner where the bomb is. Eventually it will explode - as long as the elephant is on top of the bomb / kicking it around in the corner


So far I've had no issues with the controls. Sometimes when too many items are in one spot things can get cluttered though, especially when mucking about with ropes, glue, walls, boxes and junk that sticks together.
And certain stages are small - meaning your helicopters, tanks, brontosaurus' and elephants don't fit.

Also, I've learned that hippies don't like you killing ants, but they don't mind at all if an Anteater eats the ants.

Surely there's something protecting consumers from that? You preorder promised to get something, and when they don't have any left all you get is a "Tough luck." ?

Really? I've had no issues with the controls - what specifically do you not like / have trouble with?

Sometimes items don't work how I want them to, but so far I've managed to think of an alternative to just about everything.

Item of the day "Pterodactyl" - if flies, it hovers, it attacks your enemies and breaks through barriers, plus you can ride on it's back.

Then you can glue 3-4 cars to it's uh... behind and then fly around with them for no real reason.

I don't see how? The product is a consumer product, the freebie is a "freebie"
Still, I'd complain for the sake of it, if stores keep doing shit like that and people stand for it, then they will keep doing it.

Maybe they should not promise the freebies, and acknowledge that it's likely they will run out given that there is only ever a limited stock of such items.

It would certainly be more honest anyway, rather than enticing customers with cool free shit then not delivering.

And as a consumer you can choose to purchase your games elsewhere if you really want to. Who among us does not have a complaint about EB for one reason or another? Most of my games I purchase elsewhere, and I don't bother trading stuff in anymore, becuase I'd rather give a game away to someone who enjoys it, than see it gathering dust in their slimy piles of used games.

For example, I'm selling my new-played-less-than-3-times copy of "Drawn to Life" for $10 to a kid I know, a game I paid $30 on sale for and have no intention of ever playing again, because it's mostly rubbish (he's been warned) but being 12 or so, he has not played lots of Mario etc and will get more enjoyment out of it than I would.

Exactly, but when you preorder a game to get an included freebie, as they advertise it, you do expect it to be there on release.

If they did say the freebie is not promised, stock may be limited etc then that would be perfectly acceptable, and people would know what to expect when they pick up their pre-order late, etc.

Does Nuke spawn the same thing as missile?

Dynamite is more powerful than "explosive barrel" and "fuel tank", as I found out by lining them up and seeing what size hole they left after an explosion.

Also, experimenting to find out "who is strongest?" [Hulk am strongest of all, but hulk no am in game]

So far, of the humanoid types you can summon, vampire has the highest hit points and is very aggresive (one vampire killed god, a T-rex and a dragon, with enough health left over to kill a werewolf and a zombie)

*However a "ghost" seemed to be pretty much invincible as it would slowy kill things that attacked it, but other NPC hits do (seemingly) nothing to it, and the ghost does not attack you (unless you piss it off) so I may find some good uses for it as a defender of sorts, as it only kills things that attack it first, and ignores most things. But it will chase humans - without hurting them.


I've found one of the best melee weapons is a "scythe" which I got from "death" but can be summoned by itself. My second choice is bat, because it's fun to use.

The scythe will let you kill just about anything (or let any humanoid 'evil/predator' NPC kill just about anything) - mainly because the animation swings so fast that it stops most things being able to attack you at all at close range.

I was interested to see that the Pegasus was significantly weaker than the Pterodactyl. Has anyone found a flying thing/creature that is small, manoeuvreable, high hit points and strong attack that can beat the Pterodactyl? So far I have not found something better, so have been using it a fair bit.

I've found most flying vehicles useless because they are too big to do anything in most stages, but hopefully there will be some later in the game that they can be used for. The UFO is hilariously huge.

Water Dragon summoned a pretty cool three headed dragon - but I have no use for it so far.

Have summoned "player" quite a few times, just to watch him run around grabbing items. Summoning two "players" with one item wil make them steal the item from each other back and forth forever - until something intervenes - or you get sick of hearing "yoink" every other second.

*More pointless VS matches to try*:

God vs Devil
Vampire vs Werewolf
Wrestler vs Wrestler
Samurai vs Warlord
T-Rex vs Chthulu
Megalodon vs Shark (in water)
Ninja vs Death

*Weapons to mix it up with*:

Shotgun (duh)
Gun
Raygun
Chainsaw
Axe
Scythe
Bat
RPG
Tank (I say it's a weapon!!!)

Yeah, I found out on like day one with this game that you can put in say

"ghost" and it will spawn a ghost.

You can put in "pink ghost" "grey ghost" "stupid ghost" insane ghost" or whatever and what you will get is a "ghost"

Basically the game will discard the descriptive word and go for the solid word. But will still let you spawn something, so if you get really stuck in a level and want to use the same item again, just write some descriptive word in front of it and you can use it as many times as you like (going for the gold stars).
FYI - I try to avoid doing this too often as it make most levels too easy, so only use it as a last resort.

*There are items that are similar but different and have specific names though eg "spiked steel ball" and "large spike steel ball" spawn two different sized items.

*And there are more exceptions like "boots" will give you boots. But "jump boots" or "jet boots" will give you boots that jump about 2x higher than normal. But they are useless most of the time and you are better to use jetpack, helicopter, pterodactyl, wings, etc etc.

Still have not had trouble with the controls, but yesterday my brother played it, and had some similar issues /frustrations to things already mentioned in this forum.

I think it's more than I'm used to playing games with all kinds of control schemes, and have pretty good co-ordination is manipulating in game cameras and such - so have less issues with good games that are less-than-perfect.

The controls are a bitch to use, they should have given us dpad movement and a jump button, THOSE THINGS ARE ON THE DS FOR A REASON.

I'm playing it on the train a bit at a time, I'm up to the 4th world at the moment.

I've found that most problems can be solved with a pair of wings and a grappling hook and if I need to clear out any baddies I just summon a "superhero" to take them out. I should probably be moe imaginitive but at the moment I just want to get through it.

Played a bit of this and get more frustration rather than pleasure for it & can only play it in short bursts although it is quite funny sometimes when you completely stuff something up, like the level I was collecting flowers and used a flamethrower to get rid of the bee and accidentally set the lady's house on fire, then tried to put that out with a hose but it burnt down pretty quickly. Also when thinking of other ways to chop a tree down for the lumberjack guy I used an Excalibur :D

To me the game is 90% fun and 10% frustration. But I could say that about the vast majority of games made in the last oh.... 20 years or so.

It's easily one of my all time favourite games, despite the fact I've only owned it for a few weeks.

I agree with you there, Mass Effect is one of my favourite games of all time and it is a trainwreck of glitches and other problems. The problem with Scribblenauts is... It's just boring and the things you summon often don't work in the way you intended (or work at all in some cases). This could be easily overlooked, except that's essentially the entire game >_>

Also this.

I would also like to add that after you play it for a while, you begin to realise just how limited the dictionary is. There are heaps of words that summon the same thing and heaps of objects that function identically. Also, as Yahtzee said in Zero Punctuation, some of the objects are too specific (ie. you have to type a really specific set of words to summon certain sizes of things). Also, there are tons of things that don't work as they would in real life- the ladder bridge (or whatever it is) can't support anything without flipping around (and you can't glue it to the ground), weights and anvils don't actually weigh anything down, and so on.

Don't get me wrong, I was completely hooked when I first got the game, and I had hardly any control issues, but after a while I just lost interest.

I'm having the same problem myself, once you realise its all about summoning things there's nothing else to keep you interested aside from thinking of different ways to do stuff. Sounds good in theory but it would be better if the level design was decent & less annoying music. Its a bit like a racing car game having too many cars for choices "okay, I've got a heap of cars, now what?"

Damn your intelligent responses and use of good reasoning with supporting statements, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

I'm only upto the 4th set of levels and I've lost interest in Scribblenauts. Once you realise the games limitations, it really comes undone. The occasional level is satisfying, but too often your creativity is stifled becuase things dont work as they should. More often then not you'll just end up using a tool, a rope/chain and something that flies for most of the puzzles.

There's a lot of potential in the idea though. Hopefully it can be fully realised in a sequel.

So, Super Scribblenauts got mentioned at E3...

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/06/super-scribblenauts-impressions-one-simple-word/

A loud, frequent request of Scribblenauts devotees, Maxwell gets D-pad controls, and the DS’ stylus plus the D-pad moves the screen’s camera. He also won’t take off at a dead run to a stray touch on the screen, because A) that control has been disabled and B) developer Fifth Cell have slowed him down.

Okay, so that's my major issue with the first game down. But I don't know if-

Adjectives are the big upgrade, allowing Maxwell to summon even more creative items, animals and personalities to help him solve the puzzles. Modifying something with an adjective requires you either to use the adjective when it is summoned or, after it’s summoned, creating a potion that imbues it with that modification.

DO I DARE GET EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES AGAIN I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY HEART BROKEN IN TWO AGAIN

So you can give something an 'angry potion'? Interesting...

EDIT: If they're gonna have adjectives, they absolutely MUST have size adjectives. For example, small rock, medium rock, large rock. Having to get the exact combination of random words to summon the big rock/bridge/object is a joke, and part of the reason why the original game failed.

They've definitely taken a different perspective than everyone else has. Of course, they could be right.

I'd say give the first one a "rent" to see if you like it first before laying down the cash. It's pretty enjoyable, but the controls are rubbish.

So far so good with Super Scribblenauts. Picked one up recently from the US for $30. The levels so far are enjoyable, with better 'logic' to them than the previous games. The adjectives really change the game significantly.

Hopefully the later levels hold up, in terms of quality.

A good change (imo) is that you can no longer cheat by using the same item by writing spam words in front of it.

Fun words to try adding to things:

radioactive
dead
sleepy
undead
angry
happy
invisible


Had to laugh when I spawned an angry toaster and an angry washing machine then watched them fight to the death.

Pretty much any inanimate item can be brought to life. I like making giant hats and guns, then putting them on people, they look ridiculous.

Made a giant holy evil gun the other day, it shoots out crazy cross shaped bullets!

If you make a giant invisible friendly trex you can ride the invisible dinosaur, and why wouldn't you?
