Scribblenauts For The Nintendo DS/DSi

I have played many interesting video games since I have had my Nintendo DS. I have played RPGs, side scrollers action games, puzzle games, strategy, but nothing compares to one of Nintendo’s latest: Scribblenauts DS for the Nintendo DS/Nintendo Dsi.

Now when I first saw the box art for this particular video game, I thought it must be a game exclusively for kids.

But as I played and delved further into it, I observed that Scribblenauts for the Nintendo DS is for anyone who enjoys doing a little problem solving every now and again.

For this video game will bring out the creative problem solver in everyone. In it, you help the game’s hero, Maxwell solve each problem by typing in a noun in the game’s keyboard feature.

Then you click on the submit button and voila! The word comes to life in the form of an object or person on your Nintendo DS to help Max solve the problem.

Take something simple as trying to get a cat down a tree. Type in any noun, object or person to aid Maxwell and it shows up on the screen to help him get the cat back on solid ground.

If you want, for example, to go the regular route of using a Fireman to get the cat from the tree, just type in the word Fireman. Or if you want Maxwell to climb the tree to rescue the cat himself, you can have him do so with a ladder and so on.

Each individual has a different way of solving such a problem. So the words, or objects you use can be endless.

The puzzles get harder as you advance. But once you start solving puzzle after puzzle, you might not want to put down your Scribblenauts game for too long. For it can get addicting.

And since it comes with 220 levels, there is certainly much to do and solve here. Also before each level ends, there are things known as Starites Maxwell has to collect.

You get to help him find a way to collect these as well. But you have so much fun doing so, that it might make you wonder, gee where has a game like this been all your video gaming life.

There are also other challenges along the way. For example, the quicker you complete solving a puzzle, the more points you get. And the fewer objects you use the better.

Like you can use one object to remove one or more obstacle and so on.

I have really enjoyed this video game. It comes with great graphics and sound effects to match. So if you’re looking for a way to let your imagination run loose, give Scribblenauts for the Nintendo DS/Dsi a try.

And allow your creative, problem solving side to take over. You will be glad you did.
