Product Description
Scribblenauts DS
Amazon.com Product Description
Scribblenauts is a unique single player side-scrolling action game for the Nintendo DS that challenges players to solve spatially oriented puzzles like no game before it. In it players use an in-game notepad/keyboard, as well as the touch screen and stylus of the Nintendo DS, to conjure up solutions to the obstacles placed in the path of the game's hero. Solutions are manifested in the form of literally thousands of items--many very unexpected--that are called up and take on a life of their own, resulting in puzzle-solving that is limited only by the player's imagination. 
Get creative in collecting Starites.
View larger. | Gameplay
Based around 2D side-scrolling action and word play, the premise of Scribblenauts is simple; quite literally, anything you write, you can use and reuse in the game. Players use the DS' touch-screen and the in-game notepad/keyboard to help their character, Maxwell, as he moves throughout 220 increasingly difficult levels on his never-ending quest for the star-like "Starites." But it is not as easy as reaching up and plucking a Starite. Attaining them requires Maxwell to solve spatially oriented puzzles. To do this players describe objects via the notepad/keyboard, which in turn appear on the game screen and facilitate the starite making its way to Maxwell. There are literally thousands of items in the game, both utilitarian like ladders, ropes, cars and buses, to the outlandish items, such as invisibility cloaks, pirates and black holes. There are time limits on levels, as well as a limitation to the number of items that can be used per level. But regardless of these restrictions, the game is all about experimentation, imagination and endless replay value as players open their minds to the nearly limitless possibilities that are sure to make Scribblenauts unlike any side-scrolling platformer they have ever played. Key Features - Create Your Own Interactive Experience - Objects you write down in the game are only limited by your imagination.
- Everyone Can Play - Scribblenauts features all-ages pick-up-and-play fun for everyone.
- Touch-screen Controls - Easy to pick up and play on Nintendo DS. If you can tap, you can play.
- Unlimited Replay Value - Use less objects to increase your score, or experiment with different objects for endless replay value. Write anything; solve everything.
- Playground Mode - Play the entire game in a sandbox style right on the title screen.
- Create and Share - Share levels you create with the level editor via your Nintendo DS Wi-Fi Connection.
- Innovative New Title from Leading Developer - 5th Cell, the creator of the Drawn to Life franchise and Lock's Quest, has experience creating high-quality, innovative DS games.

 Scribblenauts Rocks! November 24, 2009
Heather A. Martin (Vermont)
We bought this for our son after hearing about it from a friend. This game is unbelievable and offers so much. The kids get to use critical thinking to problem solve their way through this game. More points(ollars) are awarded when they use new objects or non violent items. Ok- I have to admit, I have stayed up more than one night playing this game in my bed before drifting off to sleep. I would buy a new one of these in a heartbeat. So- if you want a fun game that boosts your kids critical thinking, writing skills, etc- this is the game for you!

My 10 year old who has ADD is lagging in the area of spelling (doesn't keep his attention at all, and he routinely speeds through words v. slowly pronouncing each syllable to get to the proper spelling of a word). He thoroughly enjoys this game (despite its lack of star wars, etc. intense action) and I, as a parent, am thrilled that it is helping with his spelling, a problem area for him. Scribblenauts has been great for making him stop, slow down, and think out the spelling of his words. As others/the trailer mentioned, one can spell out all sorts of articles/items of one's choosing which then appear in the game for your use (think Bazooka, lolly pop, anvil, etc.) My son doesn't fuss or get discouraged at all about having to spell while playing this game, and is having fun learning through creative play! Enjoyable learning game, highly recommend it.
 it's alright November 21, 2009

the game is alright. you can't do anything inappropriate :( it's kind of hard, after a few days i ran out of things to write, you can't do anything copyrighted, you can't write proper nouns. Get Drawn to Life instead.

My niece says she's having a hard time finishing the game, but at least she is having a unique kind of fun. I personally haven't played it, but I can say that my niece is enjoying every puzzle of Scribblenauts.
fun but has issues November 16, 2009

This is a fun game. One problem I have found and I need to call the number on back of gamebox and tell someone about it. My game freezes on a part of the 3rd level. On the one where you have to take the cow to the pasture so the cars can go by. Everytime I get the cow over there the whole screen freezes up and I have to shut my DS off and restart it. Luckily you can just skip this puzzle. I havent come across this again, but then I am only on level 5 now. Other then that it is fun to play.
