Can we slow down the hype train for a sec?

I've heard about being able to create anything, but what else is in this game? I know there are missions, but after those are done, is there online play? How long is the actual game?

Okay, found some answers:

220 levels, once a puzzle is solved with one word, the next time you enter, you have to use another.

Level editor shared via wi-fi, and that's it. Hmmm... I think that should keep most busy for a while.

Good job answering your own question. It's a freakin' playground in which you can see God battle Cthulhu with a shotgun. WTF ELSE DO YOU NEED!!!

@ CH3BURASHKA

I'd like to be able to do co-op or Versus. I don't think creating stuff on your own is as much fun as doing it with friends.

If this were any other game, I'd agree with you about co-op. In this case, however, you have zero imagination! Quit failing & go buy a dictionary.

^ You dummy, did you not read what i said? There's only so many words you can put into this thing before you get bored. And it's not like each object has 'special abilities'!

Personally, I think the game, as it is, works best on the DS; the touch screen for input and limited cartoony graphics make it what it is.

What? Why would I want to tap out words on a crappy software keyboard?

This is a PC game that got put on the DS for opportunistic reasons. I just hope that if they port it, it winds up on the PC where I don't need to spend half my time hunting and pecking keys with a stylus.

The art style would not need to be compromised on another platform, and I don't think typing out a word is something that can only be done well on a (resistive) touch screen.

If you watch the videos you see that creating anything is pretty much its hook. I mean, it's good for what it is, but yeah the hype train's a little crazy.

On the bright side at least we're not hearing about Braid anymore.

That's the thing though, this is the new Braid on here. They do this with every "hyped" casual game, talk about it for months at a time.

are you kidding? They don't talk about this game half as much as they talked about braid. besides, I feel like this game deserves the hype, i mean braid was great, but...there was wayyy too much hype behind it... this game has replay value out the anus, and it's got charm and hilarity. awesome combination's.

"It's a scientific fact that 100 percent of people on Earth love Scribblenauts"

I don't....

Anyway, I could see it on PSN since ps3 has keyboard support. Typing with a regular controller would be far too tedious.

360 supports keyboards too.

But I don't see why there'd be a problem with even bringing it to something like the PSP too. Using text input isn't that difficult.

360 has it for messages, but I'm pretty sure MS really frowns on using keyboards in actual games.

I can't think of a game on the 360 that would really need a keyboard.. You're able to use it whenever you need to type in names, etc, though, so I don't see why they'd stop it working in a game like this.

Keyboard would limit the fun, though. It's called Scribblenauts, not Typenauts.

All four consoles (PS3, PS2, Wii, 360) support USB keyboards. Have an onscreen keyboard for people that want to use controllers, but recommend people use a USB keyboard; they're like $4 anyway. 16:9, clear and crisp Scribblenauts running off a USB keyboard? Do want.

DS? Meh.

Actually, I couldn't really care much less about PC gaming. I have a rather bottom-end laptop, which is obviously not conductive to games, and I run linux, which doesn't have a huge library anyway. Considering releasing it for PC would almost certainly be releasing it on some download service (like Steam) and on Windows, it would mean absolutely nothing to me.

Although it's perfect on the DS, I think it could probably work really well on the Wii (maybe the sequel will be on the Wii ala Drawn to Life), and the game will probably be even BETTER on the PC than DS because of less technical limitations and keyboard+mouse.

My DS was stolen about a year ago, and I never got around to replacing it... even though it's good to hear this will be all over the place, I will be buying a DSi before Scribblenauts comes out, specifically to play it.

I think this game sounds great but not great enough to justify buying a DS or putting up with the hand cramps since the DS isn't designed for western adult males with hands larger than a 12 year old girls. I would definitely check it out if it was released for XBLA. Chatpad support would be okay but I also suggest using a radial letter ring like they used in a couple of the last generation Tom Clancy games. Worked really well and fast once you got used to it.
