You've read the hype, but is Scribblenauts as good as advertised? Daily Nintendo pokes and prods the highly-anticipated game and hands in the verdict. Find out if Scribblenauts is worth the purchase.

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. It gets better: the conjured behave as they’re expected to be—pandas chew on bamboo; mice eat cheese but strangely ignore caviar; vampires disintegrate when exposed to the sun—you get the idea. When judged by ambition or novelty alone, Scribblenauts already gets a perfect score in anyone’s book. Nevertheless, this is a game and it’s not given away for free; consequently, Scribblenauts is subjected to intense scrutiny. Does the game live up to expectations?
