STORY: You know something I liked about Super Scribblenauts? It was simple. To feel right I have to kill everyone in a stage (which, admittedly, is fun) THEN use it as a sandbox.
There's no sandbox in Unlimited, which is also a huge downer. When you find a character with a starite icon the map changes to accommodate a level. However, the classic levels from Scribblenauts and it's Super Sequel remain. Some of them are actually creative, and I'm not saying I didn't have fun with some of them, but they didn't feel right.
These shards are obtained by solving incredibly mind-numbingly simple puzzles on the over world (such as the hungry man one I mentioned, only easier). Instead of navigating a collection of challenges within a group, you must roam around a large map and search for starite shards. Each "level" is a huge map with multiple "objectives" and one or two Starite missions. Scribblenauts Unlimited throws this all out the window. If you ever need to test something out without jeopardizing a puzzle, you can save and go to the sandbox, make your own world from scratch. Each level has a goal, and once you reach it you find a Starite, what you need to complete the game. Traditionally, in a Scribblenauts game, you have a menu to select levels, and a sandbox to experiment in. It feels like it wants to be something different, and I don't like this. It took everything I've come to expect from a Scribblenauts game and changed it, and it didn't feel right! I have no qualm with change, but Unlimited just doesn't. PRESENTATION: And here's another place I was disappointed in Scribblenauts Unlimited. This happened to the point that I was given a puzzle, came up with a creative solution, and seeing that nothing happened typed in a stupidly obvious answer and guess what, it worked! This is not what Scribblenauts was about! It was about solving devious puzzles that required you to think and use your creativity, not to make you feel good about writing the word "apple" when given the puzzle "He's hungry." However, the puzzles in Scribblenauts Unlimited are dumbed down inexcusably. It's a neat addition that works really well and adds a lot to Scribblenauts.

You can also set up your own shop and other players can download and rate your creations. I've made plenty of awesome things like a gun that shoots kittens that blow up like nuclear warheads, a dragon that works like a priest, and man-spider who plays guitar. The item editor allows one to take any item, tear it apart, rebuild it in ANY way imaginable, give it it's own traits and directives, and set it free. Typing is all the same where Unlimited makes it's biggest change gameplay wise is with the item editor! And this is the best part of Unlimited. In all, it isn't nearly as clunky as the original, feels quite a bit more streamlined, and doesn't hinder the game in any way. Scribblenauts Unlimited improved some, and it certainly didn't get any worse. In fact, that's what keeps Super Scribblenauts from being an absolute perfect game in my book. Scribblenauts has always suffered in the controls department. Using Max's magic notebook, she summoned a "soldier" to stand guard outside the town, fortified the town with "wall," enlisted a "sniper," then gave Max a "giant flaming sword" so he could aid in their defense.GAMEPLAY: Why not start with plot? You'll see. Aubert sprinted through one ofScribblenauts Unlimited's events in which raiders invade a small desert settlement and protagonist Max is called upon to help. (The Hotdogatops was named so for his condiment-like horns and his scripting rules that determined that other objects react to him as if he were a hot dog, not a prehistoric beast.)ĭesigning, editing, and naming creations in Unlimited seems blazingly efficient with mouse and keyboard when compared with the touchscreen-based editors of the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions. Scribblenauts creator Jeremiah Slaczka and Unlimited producer Brittany Aubert showed the creation of player-made objects - Scribblenauts Unlimited's new, infinite possibilities hook - by designing the aforementioned dinosaur, dubbed the "Hotdogatops," in the game's Object Editor.
