"Every so often we get a game idea that manages to break away from the otherwise endless stream of tried and tested formulae. These are the kinds of games that don't just present a unique feature or a fresh approach on an old idea but instead give us an entire experience unlike the rest. Scribblenauts concept is to allow the creative minds of the gamers to flourish by letting them create almost anything they want to complete the levels and it's an idea that excites any gamer.

"Scribblenauts is the type of game I should be head over heels for. The game is a testament of what can be done with video games, definitively proving that not everything has been done before. Better still, the game oozes with personality, has an infinite amount of replay and can be enjoyed by just about everybody. This is the type of game that I usually champion.

"Scribblenauts is quite possibly one of the most unique games to be released this year, the game is simple yet it’s scope is beyond any other game before. Overall the game actually delivers on its ambitious promise but there are a few aspects that need to be improved for this title to become a true classic."
"Prior to its release, Scribblenauts received a lot of buzz not because of sheer marketing muscle, but because of its completely original and utterly astonishing concept: you solve puzzles by conjuring anything you can think of, as long as it’s not a proper noun, lewd, or alcoholic.
