It was E3 last year where the world really started paying attention to Scribblenauts. It may have been on the Nintendo DS, but everyone from hardened PC gamers through to iPhone wielding dilettantes could readily appreciate what developer 5th Cell were offering: a chance to show how clever we all are.
For the uninitiated, Scribblenauts is a game which relies heavily on your lateral thinking and your vocabulary. You negotiate terrain-based puzzles using items that you type in. The in-game dictionary is immense and cleverly referenced, so most punters will be hard pressed to not see amusing and/or successful results, no matter what they type in (assuming it's not X-rated or particularly distasteful.) The good news: a sequel has finally been confirmed. Super Scribblenauts is on its way. Once again you'll use the stylus and your vocab to help protagonist Maxwell. Here's how 5th Cell have modified the action: All-new for Super Scribblenauts, players now have the ability to write any object that comes to mind and modify it in any way they desire using adjectives to reach the goal in many levels. Adjectives can change the colour, size, style, behaviours and many other aspects of the object they are describing. Multiple adjectives can be combined together to produce incredibly creative objects, such as gentlemanly, flaming, flying zombies and purple, obese, winged elephants, allowing the player’s imagination to run wild for an even more inspired and individual experience than ever before. It was only a matter of "when" a sequel would be announced, although we're a little surprised the only platform confirmed for it so far is Nintendo DS. We would have thought Android phones and iPhone/iPad were pretty logical destinations. Maybe later.
