Scribblenauts not so good

It’s hard to say if the game is not so good, or just massively over hyped, but either way, I’m less than thrilled with the game.

It took quite a while before I actually bought and played the game after it was released back in October, in fact, I’d only played it from around mid November, so there was quite a lot of reviews out there at that point, though I didn’t really take much of a look at them, because I was still down with H1N1 and game reviews didn’t seem very important right then.

Anyway, IGN US gave the game 8.7 whilst IGN AU gave it 8.5 but the metacritic score was actually 80, so in terms of IGN that would be an 8.0. I have to say, though, that even that score is, I think, somewhat overrated. Some sites rated the game as low as 50 (5.0) even though they did have good things to say about it.

The game’s controls are more than a little irritating, no, they are completely frustrating. There is no room for fine movements, you’re either running that little fellow full tilt across the screen, or jumping over the exact spot you want the little blighter to stand on, over and freaking over. It’s really annoying. Also, the range of items in the game is dramatically less than I had thought there was going to be with what developers had said about the game prior to release.

It’s also VERY annoying to type something in, and only have the last part of the word count. For instance, I wanted sleeping gas, so I input it, and rather than telling me that this item too wasn’t available, they gave me a little bit of gas. Hmmm, lame 5th Cell, lame.

Another thing that really bothered me about this game was that it was just way too easy. Ridiculously so in most cases. The only thing that made this game difficult was the poor controls, and that’s not a good thing, that’s a very bad thing.

Scribblenauts was touted as visionary, an extremely new and creative game, however as I played it I felt like I’d done it before. It’s like Crayon Delux but with cartoon visuals and pre-made items instead of being able to draw your own. So if you’ve thought about getting Scribblenauts, save your money and buy Crayon Delux for your PC. You’ll have more fun, more money in your pocket, and won’t want to snarl in frustration at the horrible controls.

I meant to post about…

I meant to post about investment opportunities with Philippines real estate, but then I saw an article about Scribblenauts and I got too caught up in that to write about the investment stuff.

See, what’s really annoying about a game that should be really good, is that often it doesn’t live up to it, and often, you are waiting for what seems like a hundred years before the damn game comes out! Today I stumbled across this article about Scribblenauts on IGN, and now I just want to play the game. I hate that! There isn’t an official UK release date as yet, but US and Australia get it mid September this year, so supposedly I shouldn’t be waiting for long.

But then there’s always the option that the game will be pushed back, because seriously, this game hasn’t been known about for all that long, and that isn’t a great sign in terms of when the game will be out. The same thing happened with The Sims 3 (still haven’t bought or played it, EA, you scum), they announced the game pretty close to the initial release date, and sure enough, the game was delayed by a few months. I really hope that doesn’t happen with Scribblenauts, because as I said, I really want to play the game.

I also got side tracked looking at blogs… I don’t know why I care, but I find myself reading other people’s blogs. I suppose that explains why I am always so surprised if someone leaves a comment (a non spam comment, you damn spammers… I hate what you do!) because it means someone was really reading my blog!

I think I have to go lie down for a while, now. See, my SO has been going through some pretty severe back pain of late, which has meant that she can’t sleep properly, so I haven’t been sleeping properly either. So now I’m going to go rest whilst I can.
