The original Scribblenauts presented an innovative, new concept: Think of nearly any object, type the word into your DS, and watch as it materializes to assist in solving a puzzle. The end result was a game with an interesting idea, but funky physics, jagged edges, and challenges that could usually be solved by typing “helicopter” kept the title from feeling like much more than a novelty. Thankfully, Super Scribblenauts addresses nearly every flaw from the first game and adds enough in the way of new features to finally live up to its potential.
You won’t find a staggering new story premise within the 120 puzzles contained in Super Scribblenauts. Much like the first game, you lead cartoony protagonist Max through a series of levels with nothing more than the intent of capturing a shiny Starite in order to progress — Unlike the first game, however, you won’t get bored playing through them all. Super Scribblenauts manages to keep the puzzles engaging, with a few exceptions, thanks in no small part to its new feature: adjectives.
