It has a in-game dictionary of over 10,000 words. Write anything and it will appear. Dog, House, Time Machine, Lumberjack! They are all just a selection of words that you can make appear. The object of the game is to find and get Starites, star shaped things that need to be obtained. If a starite was up a tree, there is no specific item to use, just something that would cut down a tree in real life. == Gameplay == It is a side-scrolling game, in which Maxwell, the main character, needs to obtain Starites. He is moved by using the touch screen, and the camera is moved by the D-pad. A number of things that can be summoned are alive, and will react to happenings. Cops will chase villains, God will destroy evil, Herbivores will eat grass, and so on. == Development == Scribblenauts was announced in 2007, and the date of release in [[E3 2009]]. [[5th Cell]] wanted something like [[Lock's Quest]], and needed it urgently. It wasn't greatly received at first and didn't cause a buzz. Rumors suggested that is was going to be a 3D game, but this speculation turned out wrong in 2009. == Reception == Games Master magazine gave it 5/5, saying 'GM loves: Inventing new acts of violence involving butter,' in E3 2009, it was the first portable game in history to win best at show, and [[IGN]] labeled it Pick of the Year. [[Game Informer]] gave it 8.75/10 saying "Scribblenauts is more than a game; itโs a brilliantly devised test of oneโs imagination."<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/games/scribblenauts/b/nintendo_ds/archive/2009/09/28/review.aspx An Addictive Twist on User-Created Content] on [http://www.gameinformer.com Game Informer], retrieved on March 22, 2011</ref> A number of game review sites loved the idea of a time machine and dinosaurs, and the majority of reviews were 9/10. ==References== {{reflist}}
