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.

 My boys LOVE this game August 25, 2010
K. Lousberg (Beijing, China)
And I don't feel guilty about them playing it. My boys (ages 7 and 5) have spent hours playing this game and I love all the spelling, imagination and creativity involved. I would highly recommend it.
From Aardvarks to Zombies.... August 20, 2010
Sarah J Nicholls
Ever wanted to see what would happen if zombies went to war against pirates? Well, then this is the game for you.(By the way the zombies usually win.) Although the controls are kinda stupid, its easy to get around it.
Wicked cool - and educational too! August 14, 2010
P. Stone (NE United States)
My 7 year old loves this game, and I must admit I'm a little hooked too. The game offers you a puzzle, or a character who needs something. You write a word, and poof! that thing appears. There are multiple ways to solve each puzzle, and you get points for being creative. It starts simple - you encounter a character who is hungry (write "spaghetti" and a plate of spaghetti appears) or a platform which is too tall to jump (write "ladder" or "stairs" or "trampoline"....). It gets more complicated from there. There is a lovely tutorial mode to teach you how to use it, which is great for those who learn better by doing than by reading the booklet. Some reading skills (grade 2 or 3) or adult help are required, and of course spelling to solve the puzzles. This isn't a fast action game, it's more of a cerebral puzzle game, but it is addictive and very educational.
Endless fun August 10, 2010

Kids have played this game over and over and are still amazed with it. It's a big hit with all their friends as well!
 Very original and extremely challenging with the cheat book! August 9, 2010
T. Leech (Las Vegas)
This game has been a favorite in our house! My daughter (10) played this game constantly, and used the cheat book a lot because she would get stuck and have no idea what to do. Her best friend loved it so much she got her dad to go buy her one also and she completed the game without even owning a cheat book so it is possible to get through without it. My 9yo nephew is completely hooked on it now and loves that he can put crazy things in the scenes like Medusa.
You have 2 different ways to play so it's like having 2 games in one. There is a puzzle way... Figure out how to get the princess back to the castle without the pack of wolves eating her and without killing the wolves. There is the adventure play... Your character has to find a way to retrieve the star from each level to move on to the next. You are given the basic scene and instructions for each level and then it's up to your imagination to figure a way out. For instance... You have to get a star in the bottom of the sea but there are sharks and pirhanas and eels between you and the star. You first need a scuba tank to be able to swim, then you need to come up with something to kill the other animals so they don't kill you. We figured out that a toaster in the water would electricute them although I'm sure many other things would work as well. There are so many options that your mind is the limit.
