Scribblenauts Unmasked, like its predecessors, suffers from its own design as I found out as well when it came to solving the many puzzles and events. I mean that’s kind of cool from a comic standpoint, but I would have enjoyed fighting them myself a lot more. I expected that I would get to directly take on classic villains from the DC universe but that is rarely the case as you find yourself quickly becoming a sidekick as you create objects to aid in the fight. Once there, the missions can be sort of a letdown. Getting there is completely up to the player as you could take the elevators or fly there using powers or even use vehicles depending on the location. So players who want the most out of their game or to progress the story will have to revisit locations multiple times to rack up the required points.Ĭollecting the Starites and stopping Doppelganger is the main focus of the game, which is usually pretty straightforward as it just takes using the D-pad to look around your immediate environment to find the location marked with a blue star. There are a few costumes however that require players to go out and use the StreetPass feature with other 3DS Scribblenauts Unmasked players to unlock them one at a time. These outfits also give Maxwell abilities like being able to fly or have access to certain attacks that the original hero has like throwing fireballs. The same goes for the unlockable costumes that Maxwell can wear. There are also three kinds of reputation points: Gotham, Metropolis and Lantern to collect and certain locations and origin stories can only be unlocked by the correct type. Those reputation points can be used to unlock a lot of the main locations like Wayne Manor. It’s really hard to help citizens if everything is dead or burnt to a crisp. As you supposed to be a superhero in this adventure is also definitely unwise to use certain words like saying anything with Nuclear before it to solve a problem. If you use the same adjective/nouns such as flying, gun or doused too often in the same location then you receive less reputation points for it. The possibilities are nearly endless though there are a few checks in place that keep the game from being too easy. It’s your job to aid them by writing nouns to create what they need or use adjectives to alter the state of an object or person. Each location such as the starting area of Gotham City has a randomized number of citizens and DC characters that need help in some form or another as well as a main story mission. For those interested in playing a Scribblenauts title for the first time I’ll cover the basics. It’s not long before you’ll be navigating Maxwell through the visages of Metropolis, The Fortress of Solitude, the Green Lantern base on Oa, Themyscira, The Watchtower and even Arkham Asylum to name a few, as you try and recover the powerful Starites before they fall into the wrong hands.īeyond the point of the added DC universe, Scribblenauts functions exactly like its predecessors. Once there they learn that Maxwell’s evil twin Doppelganger is there and has joined with the Joker to cause trouble. Maxwell and his twin sister Lili, who has a magic globe of teleportation, get transported to Gotham after a strange accident. The story once again follows Maxwell, the boy with a big imagination and a magical notepad that can create anything he or rather you can think of. I must say that from a comic book standpoint 5th Cell did an insanely detailed job of incorporating some of the most iconic locations and characters (and the not-so iconic characters) into Scribblenauts Unmasked. I’ve always loved comic books and while I have no ironclad loyalty between the two comic giants, the DC universe holds most of my all-time favorite superheroes and super villains. It wasn’t until I learned about 5th Cell’s newest entry, Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure, for the Nintendo 3DS that I really found a genuine interest into the series.
#Scribblenauts unmasked 3ds series
I’ve barely dabbled with the series though I did spend a little bit of time with Scribblenauts Unlimited on the Wii U and found it pretty enjoyable for the most part. Imagination is a very powerful thing and is the instrument of creativity in the widely popular Scribblenauts franchise over the last four years.
