Super Scribblenauts Beaten

Yesterday, I beat Super Scribblenauts. I’ve not yet beaten the two special constellations, nor have I completed the advanced mode for every level, and I think there is one level I didn’t beat at all, yet. I figure I’ll complete the game in time. I have revised my opinion of the game a little. I still think it is fun, and there are some levels that are really excellent, but my assumption that the cool levels would increase in frequency as the game continued wasn’t borne out–the last constellations had at least as many dull levels as the first.

The game has a few fault, limitations, and other oddities, too. For example, being invisible doesn’t seem to do much. It works as well as a disguise in some situations, but people certainly seem to be able to see you still. A venomous sword will poison the person wielding it. A unicorn appears not to be considered an animal. Some levels appear to have been designed with a very limited set of solutions in mind, which makes them way less interesting than the more open-ended levels. And one level can be solved on advanced mode without making any objects at all.

I’ll try to post a more complete review on my other blog soon. There are some things I want to say about what the game does right as well as wrong, but I’ll have to take some time to consider before I can put everything into words.

Super Scribblenauts progress

Beat the second constellation, and part of the third. So far: 364 objects, 65 adjectives. There have been a few puzzles that I’m not too fond of, but the bulk of them are fun. I’ve posted a walkthrough of the first constellation on my other blog, and (separately) a very brief ‘first impressions’ review. If the game continues to hold my attention, I may post walkthroughs for the rest of the game, too.

Super Scribblenauts

Completed the first constellation and a bit of the second. 182 objects, 31 adjectives. Having trouble with 2-4: what works other than furry house? Even feathered winged house doesn’t. Hmm.

Recently, DS games

I’ve played a little Super Scribblenauts and Mario 64 DS recently. The former is really quite cool, and the latter is good, but basically the same as its N64 counterpart.
