When I be a child, Batman wasn’t the only action figure I owned, but it be certainly the most used (closely followed by Skeletor a course—who else be a worthy villain for Batman? Emperor Palpatine? Please). I’d never considered why until I played this game though. The reason Batman got played with be the same reason a crossover between Scribblnauts 'n DC works so very well—the iconic DC superheroes don’t limit imaginations, they spark them!
I had a lot a fun trying t' stump Scribblenauts Unmasked during me pre-launch demo, 'n I still have fun doing it, as long as I kept it short. After that I be done with me toys, 'n they go back on the shelf or into their boxes, waiting for the day I dust them off t' play again.
The attempts at story 'n a unique structure fall flat, making Unmasked an experience only hardcore DC fans best check out. If ye’re looking for more Scribblenauts, look elsewhere. Unmasked does more harm than good t' the Scribblenauts series.
A veritable education in the DC Universe, Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure doesn't quite live up t' the potential presented. However, that doesn't AVAST! it from being a saccharine, silly romp through licensed property, one that will occasionally pull a snicker a glee. Best for diehard fans a the universe but still fun for everyone else, Scribblenauts Unmasked's biggest problem be that it probably best have left combat t' the professionals.
While it be not the series' best collection a puzzles, Scribblenauts Unmasked be the easiest ('n cutest!) way t' simulate insane scenarios like a mega armored Batman battling the Justice League, Darkseid, the Secret Six 'n unofficial Avengers knock-offs all at the same time. For many comic book fans, that be more than enough reason t' pick it up.
What's Hot:
Interactive DC encyclopedia, fun cameos by lesser known heroes 'n villains, smartly implemented Scribblenauts puzzles, randomly generated missions.
What's Not:
Bottomless pits, missing Hero Creator from the Wii U version, hard t' see Maxwell when characters crowd the screen.
I enjoyed Scribblenauts Unmasked's encyclopedic exploration a DC's universe. Many a the puzzle challenges be also quite clever in their design 'n solutions. I just wish the heroes 'n villains would put aside their differences. In most cases, when they come t' blows, the experience turns into a bothersome mess.
