Scribblenauts Limited

As fun as it is this game is very limited on how creative you can be when solving puzzles O_o

The very first Scribblenauts game was awesome in that way. Super made me giggle like a little girl on the sandbox part.

There are two limiters on your creativity: 1) The dictionary in game. As vast as it is, swear words and proper nouns are nonexistant. 2) Your imagination! This game is built around imagination and how you use it, so if you think "inside the box" and aren't creative/imaginative, the game is limited.

What I mean is a lot of the puzzles I've done almost FORCE you to not be creative
For example: giving a doctor some new hospital equipment or giving a painter something to help him paint a car isn't very creative =/

Looks like this game is also missing action levels which were the only good thing about the first game imo. Building weird contraptions to solve puzzles etc..

..and no level editor this time. This game has STEAM WORKSHOP. It would have fit perfectly >_<

LOL that video made my day

I remember the sad clown in the hospital in Capital City. I reset the level once due to a mishap and managed to cure the sad clown two different ways. Once with "amused" as an adjective and by emptying a clown car to create clowns (could have just summoned a clown I guess) and gave one of them "funny" as an adjective. Two similliar yet different ways.

I find the game would be better without the constant hints that make the puzzles too easy. And of course the few puzzles where the hints are helpful only accept like one or two possible ways to complete it and usually the hints are never related.

I even came across a puzzle where the hint didn't work. I had to get past a giant spiked iron ball which you couldn't apply adjectives to. A shrink ray didn't help either. The game suggested moving up a floor and using a fan to move it. A fine idea, except the fan was facing the wrong way and I found no way to flip it around. You can't even have Maxwell pick it up and put it down. Eventually I shrank Maxwell instead and just flew over it.

I agree on the limited part - In the jail, the scientist wanted someone to share ideas with, but apparently a giant talking genius brain wasn't good enough for him

The most hilarious thing I've read all day.

Creative way:
Hat + Glue, attach the fan to the top then turn around and detach it

Uncreative way:
Create fan, pick it up with the mouse and use the Q or E keys

I just stated, but already I'm finding some words that it won't recognize, despite the fact that they were in the other two games. The words in particular are "Cthulhu" and "Statue". That right there limits my creativity.
