To those who have seen Yahtzee's review of this game - i actually have to agree with some points of his review - it is true that you are often asked to do something unimaginative and Helicopter+Rope honestly is the answer to a literal 35% of the levels.

The game is split into different themed worlds and have their own level style as w/ many games eg. Mario. Each consists of 11 puzzle & 11 Explosive levels. Puzzle is a style where you must interact with other objects to accomplish a goal and a grap a "Starite" - The pointless objectives that make the game seem a little more Worthwhile (Yahtzee : It's always STARS) Explosive is different, it is a mode where you must blast your way to the location of a starite with whatever you want (As long as it is E10+, that is...) Scribblenauts comes with its own style - a bunch of objects sketched to look friendly and uneven to improve 6yr old's selfesteem by making him think he can draw well.

In scribblenauts (Explosive) a basic strategy exists - consisting of 7 objects: Rope, Wings, Helicopter, Cthulu :), Excalibur, Airgun. With these objects you can achieve just about anything in the explosive world and many puzzle games.(Sorry for ruining it for u but its better than you going out to buy this game to discover all that was needed was a simple strategy like this.

The Controls. Tap and interact. Tap again and move. In a delicate situations this control system WILL drive you homicidal and you will end up leaving the level uncompleted for eternity. Well that's what I do.
