I'd think Scribblenauts was pretty long awaited...

It's nice to see the might and magic game get a high score.
loved the heroes series, and even though this isn't going to be anything like it,
it does AFAIK feature the same creatures

How does Scribblenauts deserve a NINE?
The graphics are sorely lacking and the controls are terribad.

Oh, right, because this is an official Nintendo magazine, and Nintendo World Store happen to hold a launch event, of course. >:\

Scribblenauts was released a couple of weeks back and most of us are already bored of the game.

Didn't deserve a 9, controls saw to that. It was more limited than I'd thought it would be due to half of the items being exactly the same as others.

Mario and sonic on Ds got a higher score than the wii version

that's surprising I thought the original was much better on the wii and it would be the same

Chances are that they were reviewed by different people. Though I dislike Famitsu for their biased reviews, I do like the system of havign four reviewers on one game. Something that would benefit reviews over here more.

Domination · Sep 22, 2009

Can't believe so many high scores. Of course the scribnots review is wrong, high score maybe but not that high.

Beatles only got 9? THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!!

Scribblenauts deserves an 8 IMO.. would deserve a 10 if the controls and physics were better.

I'm still playing it.. the puzzles in the second half of the game are hard :/

I agree. I'm not bored of it, myself. Although I hardly have any time to play it.

Wondering if Spyborgs deserved that 7.5 or better. I'll download it once I can confirm the PAL version works for my NTSC Wii or until the NTSC version is dumped.

I never really trust Nintendo Power anyway. They're way too biased towards, well, anything. Games that get a cover story or significant coverage will get a huge score and overwhelming applause, and Nintendo games you might as well forgot it. It has some good scoops story wise and is a decent romp to read on the crapper, but not reliable for opinions.

biased doesnt even begin to describe it...

DS version deserved a 4 for me.

shakirmoledina · Sep 23, 2009

they all look pretty balanced to me and KH is gonna overpower any game u see on the list and possibly the anti-piracy will be as strong as tht of mario and luigi

Oh temp, you never fail to disappoint.

>> DS game
>> Good graphics

Also, I find it funny how you guys complain about Scribble getting a 9, yet Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (DS) - 8 is not even questioned.

Ive seen many DS games w/better graphics than Scribblenauts, and Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (DS) isn't even out yet, so I was waiting until it came out to question the score, cuz it might be good
