Scribblenauts Unlimited is the fourth game in the Scribblenauts series and is available to play on the Nintendo 3DS, the Nintendo Wii-U and the PC.

The story of the game is that Maxwell, the main character, is a given a magic notebook by his parents that whatever is written will appear. But his parents begin to think that he’s getting spoiled, so they send him and his sister Lily out into the real world.

They soon come upon a hungry old man, who Maxwell plays a trick on by creating and giving him a rotten apple from his notebook. The old man then puts a curse on Lily, which is slowly turning her into stone.

The only way Maxwell can save his sister from the curse is by collecting Starites, which come from when he does good deeds for other people.

And that’s where the player comes in.

I have never played any of the previous ScribbleNaut titles, as before this game I hadn’t heard much this series. But with famous Youtubers such as PewDiePie and Smosh playing this game, it was impossible not to. And since there are not a lot of games currently out for the Wii U, it was one of the first ones I got.

The introduction that explains the entire story is very childlike and is narrated by someone who sounded as if they were talking to a five-year old. I was beginning to worry that this game was just for younger kids, but having seen the gameplay videos I kept going.

From there, I had options of several different worlds full of challenges and people who needed my help.

Since you can create basically anything you want, there are several ways to solve one problem. For example, if there was a wounded man who needed to get better, you could heal him by adding the adjective ‘healthy’ to his character description, creating bandages or medicine and so on.

From solving problems however you want, to the perfectly working controls, to the seemingly unlimited amounts of different items you can create (besides anything vulgar, which is addressed at the beginning of the game and is expected for a game whose ESRB rating is everybody 10 and up), this game was a complete success. There were  tons of levels to explore, each with a different story, theme and challenges. No challenge is alike and each and made you think out of the box, which I enjoyed a lot. I think that anyone 10 and up would enjoy this game, especially with friends and family, despite the childish appearance.
