Scribblenauts Unlimited - Wii U

Scribblenauts Unlimited, like its predecessors, is built around and intriguing premise. You’re presented with a scenario and a problem, you must then think of an object that will solve the it. All you have to do is write the name of the object you want into the game and you're away. You’re encouraged to think outside the box, use your imagination, try and solve the puzzle in the most unique way possible.

With the introduction of adjectives in Super Scribblenauts the library of objects that you could create was further expanded. With Unlimited, Scribblenauts hero Maxwell gets a story mode in an effort to add background to Maxwell’s story.

This is where Scribblenauts Unlimited shines. The various locations Maxwell is dropped into are full of characters, animals and objects that require your help. Some are worth a shard of a Starite, these are usually smaller challenges that require one object from Maxwell’s notebook. Others are worth a full Starite and represent the puzzles from the older games.

Some puzzles are better than others but they all get delightfully bizarre. For example, serving up an apple for a school boy’s lunch seems fair enough to help him grow up big and strong, but you might get a surprise when he's followed by a hungry cannibal asking for a nice meal. Still, it’s all in good fun and the game constantly surprises you with it’s odd and sometimes outright dark sense of humour.

With so many ways to approach a problem in Scribblenauts Unlimited, there are lots of reasons to pick up a copy. more
