As I said previously, you don’t need to be a DC comics fan to enjoy the storyline of Scribblenauts Unmasked – though what little of the references I did pick up I chuckled quite a bit at. Having her magic globe broken (which facilitates their inter dimensional travel), Lily and Maxwell set off on an adventure, meandering with the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Batman and all their associated villains to restore the magic globe and get back home.
Through some kind of misbehaving, or just plain bad luck, Maxwell and Lily are transported to the DC universe. But what I wasn’t prepared for was just how fun and enjoyable it would be – even for someone like me who isn’t an explicit DC fan.Īs per with previous games, players step into the little shoes of Maxwell, a young boy with a magic notebook that can spawn anything he writes into it. Given DC’s current burst of popularity with Injustice as well as films such as Batman and Superman in cinema, it seems like a right fit.
#SCRIBBLENAUTS UNMASKED REVIEW SKIN#
Scribblenauts Unmasked is essentially a Scribblenauts game with a DC Comics skin applied over the top of it. But with each game I grow more and more tired of the series. That’s not to say that it’s not still remarkable just how the developer seems to have programmed in every relationship and object under the sun – it still is. The Scribblenauts franchise is starting to lose some of the wow factor it had back when it debuted many years ago on the Nintendo DS.
