![]() ![]() Talking of starites, these collectibles are now more of a currency for buying new levels and unlocking level-specific objects. Available as a single-player romp or a two-player co-op experience, it’s split into eight themed sandbox-style levels with starites to earn, awards to win and objects to unlock. ![]() ![]() Then there’s Sandbox, the mode that holds the closest resemblance to Scribblenauts of old. It’s a party game, but one where all the party poppers are duds. However, Scribblenauts: Showdown never truly embraces the magic of its central conceit due to the shallow nature of its modes. With a database of nouns that’s increased to a whopping 35,000 words (and their potential combinations), there’s still a pure thrill from thinking of a rare animal or seemingly insignificant object and seeing the game recreate it in cartoon form. The same basic principle of Scribblenauts still applies - think of a word, type it into the game and voilà, it appears on screen. However, six years on, one cancelled game (the ill-fated, iOS-bound Scribblenauts: Fighting Words) and a change in developer later, and the Scribblenauts of 2018 is something far less enticing. Even up to Scribblenauts Unlimited on Wii U in 2012, the antics of Maxwell and his magical notepad have remained fresh and bubbling with potential. Ever since the series first debuted on DS back in 2009, Scribblenauts has offered something few games ever could: an experience limited only by the boundaries of your own imagination.
