Whether you are using the standard Nintendo DS or you are already holding a DSi, there's no doubt that you have encountered the game called Scribblenauts at one point or another. The Scribblenauts is considered to be one of the most popular NDS games in the history since it is a kind of game that you would not get tired of playing. Yes, the adults surely love the unique playing experience catered by these types of Nintendo DS games. However, many parents were very worried if they should allow their teens to play it as well.
The game actually looks a little childish considering that the player would get to control a boy in the character of Maxwell. All he has to do is to go around the world and collect as much Starites as possible. However, you can only get a Starite every time you finish one level. Sounds simple right? But the unique thing about the Scribblenauts and other DSi games like this is that the player would decide about the things that must appear while they are playing the game. The challenge here is to be creative and imaginative so that they can create more thrilling challenges.
But even if you think that you do not have that big imagination like others do, you can still have fun with these types of DS games at the same time. As a matter of fact, it can be a great tool to exercise the right side of your brain.
When it comes to the things that you want to appear or "call" in the game, it would be really easy to do. The players just have to write the name of the object that they want to have while playing. It would be like summoning the weapon of your choice. But since Maxwell is just a boy, you are only limited to a couple of things like bug spray, a camp fire, and other things that are considered as "weapons" from the point of view of a little boy. This is one of the main reasons why there are no other DS games available that is as interesting and as exciting as the Scribblenauts.
You have a vast range of objects to choose from. Aside from the objects that you can find at home, you can even call on the animals, other monsters, the weather, and limited weapons to help you finish each level. Again, your imagination would be the only thing that would limit you from summoning these objects. However, there are also restrictions in the Scribblenauts. Words that are vulgar or too disrespectful are not allowed. Furthermore, players are not also permitted to call on items that have a trademark as well.
One of the great things about the Scribblemauts and DS games similar to this, is that it lets the player think about the different kinds of solutions to the problems encountered on different levels. If you have a lot of time at hand, then you could probably finish all the 220 levels in the game without breaking a sweat.
