![]() ![]() Certain teams can also be searched, but with various rosters for instance, the roster of the Justice League is the same of that in the New 52, with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman. Scribblenauts Unmasked includes many new additions, including the DC Universe plot and the new addition of reputation, which can buy certain places and costumes from the Batcomputer. In addition, players who find enough Starites will be able to gain access to levels inspired by the origins of the Justice Leaguers. Players can visit a number of locations from the DC Universe, including the Batcave - which acts as the player's main hub - as well as Gotham City, Atlantis, Metropolis, the Fortress of Solitude, Central City, the Green Lantern Corps base on Oa, and more. These characters can also be modified using adjectives, allowing for creations such as "Zombie Batman" or "Super Doomsday". Players can use the assistance of these characters to help solve puzzles, such as using Superman's heat vision to free a key trapped in a block of ice. Variations of certain characters are also included, such as multiple Batman interpretations and hundreds of different Green Lanterns. According to developer 5th Cell, the game features almost every character in the DC Universe - around 2000 characters in total - ranging from popular characters such as Superman and Wonder Woman to more obscure characters such as Bloodwynd and Matter-Eater Lad. The notable feature of this game is the appearance of heroes, supervillains and locations from the DC Universe. These objects can be used to solve each mission's objective in a variety of ways. Define your own world before you tie in with another one.See also: Gameplay in the Scribblenauts seriesįollowing previous games in the series, players control a boy named Maxwell who has the ability to manifest any object or person using his magical notepad. Just stay in your own universe, Scribblenauts. It feels like a DC game with Scribblenauts hastily written in. ![]() It's very good on its own, but it doesn't feel like a Scribblenauts game. ![]() (It also jossed a headcanon I had for Dopps, which annoyed me for personal reasons.) Overall, the game is an enormous case of "this does not feel right". If the tie-in comic had become a thing while Unlimited was still the latest game, it would've worked, because like Pocket God, at the time the characters and world were blank slates to develop and play with. With Scribblenauts? It doesn't work as well, because it ONLY explores the DC universe, without touching on Scribblenauts's own universe much at all. ![]() With games like Pocket God, it can work because the characters are blank slates, as is the world- leaving lots of room to insert new ideas and play with the concepts the game has already provided. With games like Sonic, it can work, because the characters and world are already established, while still leaving room for new ideas to be inserted. As cool as it is to see Maxwell and company further developed, it doesn't sit right. (The tie-in comic DOES remedy this by making him grumpy and snarky, but still- OH YEAH. I expected more sassy dialogue from him, but he felt more like the typical generic evil guy. I always saw him as the mischevious, recurring Team Rocket-type villain who's not too hard to deal with. Making him a full-fledged villain doesn't sit right with me. They give us ALL these characters in one game, and do nothing with them. Of course, that does give me satisfaction in the fact that I can keep my headcanons for them, since they haven't been jossed, but it is kind of disappointing. They gave Maxwell, Lily, and even Doppelganger extended personalities, but all of the potential to develop the numerous other characters is completely ignored. The thing that bothers me the most, though, is all of the characters that Unlimited introduced- they're completely absent in this game, unless you spawn them. The story doesn't do a good job of explaining it, either. The DC tie-in bothered me from the start it feels kind of tacked on and out-of-place. It's a good game, I can assure you that, but it just doesn't feel right when it comes to Scribblenauts. ![]()
