16 September 20098.0/10Scribblenauts doesn't quite reach the impressive heights its expansive in-game dictionary hints at, but it's an absolute blast despite its few problems.

- A ridiculous number of objects and animals that behave realistically, A diverse array of puzzles that can be finished in many different ways, Loads of stages and a pow...
- Serious control issues, Sometimes baffling objectives.
