A game that caught the attention of many is Fifth Cell's Scribblenauts. When it was shown off at E3 people were blown away by the freedom it allowed since players could write almost anything and then see it immediately in the game. That combined with the unique puzzle mechanics made the game a highlight release for the Nintendo DS but is it worth checking out or did it try to do too much?

The highly ambitious idea is solid but some game elements were lost because of all the wild content. I can’t deny that summoning up crazy objects like Cthulu isn’t kick ass, but 5th Cell developers seem to have spent all their time creating the database of items and forgetting about simple things that make a game more enjoyable.
