One of the new features is the presence of a story, which finally gives some context to Maxwell’s magic notebook, and introduces us to his sister.

For example, I couldn’t apply the adjective “invincible” to myself when faced with a flame obstacle, which kind of defeats the purpose of being able to write and create anything, but these types of puzzles are infrequent. Some puzzles even offer light platforming, but these puzzles limit your vocabulary. When it does, it’s hard not to be impressed with both yourself and the game. Some of the most enjoyable puzzle outcomes occur when you type in some crazy word that you’re not completely sure will work. Initially it feels like you’re answering simple vocabulary questions, but later puzzles make you work harder.

They start easy – you find a hungry dog, and you have to write down what dogs like to eat. It straddles the line of being a video game and something that feels more like thoughtful creative software.Ĭreative puzzle-solving is still the emphasis in Unlimited.

Scribblenauts Unlimited is the kind of thing I want to show off to my non-gamer parents and give to children tap into their creative potential.
