Or, to put it more simply, this is roughly how it would look if you took all the side missions out of a superhero game, made them all even more mundane, and then turned those into a standalone game. It’s not hard to see why, either: rather than making the game a reskinned version of Scribblenauts Unlimited - which would’ve been lazy, to be sure, but it also would’ve worked - the makers of Scribblenauts Unmasked seemed to have looked at the “great power, great responsibility” mantra and decided that the responsibility half was what they were going to make the game all about. In practice, however, the combination of the two doesn’t work out so well. It’s hard to think of a better fit than that.Īt least, that’s probably the thinking that went in to Scribblenauts Unmasked. And the whole point, speaking generally, of Scribblenauts games is going around helping people and solving problems. I mean, if you think about it, Maxwell - the magic notebook-wielding protagonist of the Scribblenauts series - isn’t that far off from Green Lantern? After all, both are limited in what they create only by the extent of their imaginations. On the surface, Scribblenauts and the DC Comics Universe seem like they should fit together pretty seamlessly.
