IGN Reviews - Scribblenauts Unmasked

Scribblenauts meets the DC Universe in this imaginative superhero adventure. Watch our review of the super-fun Scribblenauts Unmasked.

[@mikecabin9255]

I didn't think it was gonna be a 9.1 but after I played it I'm surprised that's all it got

[@myjobistoshootfire7703]

In the newest version of Scribblenauts Unmasked: a DC Comics Adventure for the Switch. Which has a Mega Update called Scribblenauts: Mega Pack. They added literally every single DC Comics Character ever! Including Sunboy!

[@gohoanq]

I got this for my Wii U.. love it lol Today I used a Swamp Thing costume and made 2 leaves and a vine fight ScareCrow for me. lol

[@Uzziiahh]

Who just randomly thought of this game?

[@PhreshPhil]

It’s on sale on switch (+unlimited) so that’s why I’m here

[@mrnintendo15]

There is a difference between not changing an unbroken formula and not doing enough to differentiate each iteration of your game franchise.

[@rootbeermcgee]

This and Lego Marvel are must buys for me, I love comics and teaching my younger brother about them

[@PerfectBlade20]

I know this may be too much work but wouldn't a 3d scribblenauts be awesome? A 3d scribblenauts in an open world would take the concept to a whole new leve, since you'd be able to actually drive and fly and shoot In a modern way

[@duckymouth]

that's basically just gmod

[@nanhibakchodiyan9366]

Closest nineties kids will ever get to a real life shaka laka boom boom

[@GaryMcAnim]

I may have jumped when I heard the Dalek beam noise, damn you Scribblenaughts!

[@TheDarkRedbird]

Did Maxwell just... summon DA REDBIRD?! 1:20 Heh, fuck yeah.

[@ImJustLayZ]

Easter eggs and object editor on the go is not in this game. However, some improvements are pointing guns, shooting behind an enemy without shooting the front, and punching is mods we want in Scribblenauts Unlimited.

[@guveng190]

Sorry to say this but ppl know Avengers because of its Hollywood movies, not that its comics are sold all around the world. So "recognisable characters"(known by everyone from 5 years-old-children to old ladies) from Marvel are Spider Man, Captain America and maybe Ironman, thanks to its movies again. But Superman is beyond a comic, he is a world-wide culture. Batman's popularity and movies are greater than Marvel's. However, you're right about the Lantern thing, also Aquaman and the others.

[@flamingofederation7656]

Güven Güngör P

[@dannywapbang]

And Cyborg.

[@kokaioh9942]

That is a very biased opinion.

[@Virgil200]

I played some of this game today. I was deeply saddened when i realized they didn't have Static.

[@AyaanicBond]

You should totally be praised for saying that!

[@GlassEyeGaming]

I just got this game today at a local pawn store for $20!

[@keanuluis9568]

Is it still worth it because I am interested in purchasing it myself?

[@GlassEyeGaming]

Heck yeah. So many neat and interesting puzzles to solve. I'm still trying to hunt down and buy Scribblenauts Unlimited.

[@LangdonGames]

You, and everybody else knew what I meant. People just love to argue points.

[@iKhanKing]

I'm so glad this is on Nintendo systems. Now it will sell. It's interesting how people say Nintendo doesn't get 3rd party support, when it gets tons of exclusives aimed at younger audiences. But for some reason, people only care about games aimed toward teenagers.

[@mfdoomguey]

This is probably one of there better reviews

[@LucasVenturoso]

Wow. He actually knew how to pronounce Mr. Mxyzptlk

[@dannywapbang]

Lucas Venturoso He is a DC superfan

[@nano69ify]

Whoa this actually looks so good! I might as well pick it up on Wii U.

[@LangdonGames]

Yet another great 3rd Party Nintendo exclusive! Up next for Nintendo consoles only, Wind Waker Retail Version, Super Mario 3D World, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, and Super Smash Bros. Wii U & 3DS!! A great time to be a Nintendo owner!!

[@matthewforce6646]

(Surprised) I knew they were gonna forget one obscure hero but the strange thing is I knew who Sun Boy is. Oh well maybe in a future dlc or patch.

[@worldsboss]

Now bring this and Unlimited to the UK

[@J0Llamas036]

who ever posted a number, is the number that a train will be run on them

[@seanstanley]

Who is the Superman in the cool black armor?

[@Thethingsaretricky]

If this game received 9.1, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze had better get a 10!

[@jxqu371]

Is there object creator in 3DS version? In Unlimited there wasn't which sucked

[@AdamaForPresident]

Does the game include The Watchmen?

[@ryanhorst6014]

AdamaForPresident I’m not sure

[@myjobistoshootfire7703]

In the New version Yes.

[@thomasstewart421]

And thus, Call of Duty was born...

[@TheDarkRedbird]

Because for the kind of game this is, it's very complete, full of awesome references, and with neat details that, for a DC comic fanboy like I am, pleases us a lot since DC Comics itself, or actually, Dan DiDio, has been screwing with us and our favorite characters for about two years now. So this game, is what we all wanted about DC Comics. Saints Row, well. I like it, it's a lot of fun, but maybe it doesn't have what a lot of people expected? I dunno man.

[@theblack0ne146]

Sont say anything about the review if u havent played it it deserves a 10

[@tromokraxtis]

it has as - ''not always logical'' but to fly faster than a speeding bullet and pushing planets is very logical!

[@BOMustang]

I love this game! I'm so addicted to it!

[@Stacko1515]

Well, in Scribblenauts Unlimited on the Wii U, that's pretty much a thing.

[@ThatShittyGamer]

Cant wait tonget this probably for bday or Christmas

[@amodkala5437]

It's Batclayman!

[@darkth1rty]

Is there level editor?

[@JosieC84]

Can't wait to get this game on my Wii U once it goes down on price. Thanks IGN for a fantastic score, unlike Gamespot. It'll be awesome if they make a Scribblenauts Doctor Who edition and dress up as one of the Doctors, a Cyberman or a Dalek.

[@LangdonGames]

Oh it's not? Then could you please tell what other system besides Wii U & 3DS that it is on???

[@RonaldDorsinator]

they need to a make Scribblenauts game with X-men characters or marvel

[@macarila357]

But these hase new stuff. Was there hundreds of characters from DC universe in the other games? Was there a new story? Was there new maps and missions?

[@carltonwoodlin5645]

anyones opinion if i should get this game unlimited?

[@collinosborn6707]

i have the game it's a lot of fun i think it is only down side is there is no f**ked up stuff in the game because it's for kids still really fun.

[@collinosborn6707]

***** okay fair enough

[@tarajames1298]

+Ahmed Basit that's disgusting

[@tarajames1298]

+collin osborn guns like a pistol,shotgun etc

[@tarajames1298]

Ahmed Basit I'm not saying ur disgusting

[@ChaosKingKevin]

I love Scribblenauts

[@giogio6985]

Fuck Call of Duty this is where REAL shit goes down.

[@mohamedhussain3275]

It will be amazing with online multiplayer

[@Lightemuphomie]

Every IGN reviews comment section, people always mention CoD

[@wu05354207]

hope its good

[@YouTubeGetsWorseAndWorse]

What's Marcel?

[@SpaceTaeGhost]

is static in this

[@computerboy56]

I don't read comic books but i know more dc characters than marvel characters if it's the case for you it doesn't mean it's for everyone

[@XtrapGamingChannel]

I think they should do Scribblenauts Z (Dragon Ball Z)

[@daveb4169]

Scribblenauts DBZ!!

[@indiecinemaster4699]

I've spent the last couple of months making characters the game left out, and I've been playing the Mega Pack version... Glass Man anyone?

[@BroodingGamer]

and yet at the same time "omg cod is always the same WTF"

[@jordy9606]

but like you can make superman in this game and then give him a tiny yellow axe that’s awesome

[@DwRockett]

They left out sun boy? Really? Man, if they don't have night girl :)

[@RonaldDorsinator]

how the fuck would it be gay? i thank it'll be badazz if they had a mutant academy where learn different mutants powers and have boss fights with mutant villlans

[@seanstanley]

What is that?

[@fatroc33]

So i can play as Wilddog!!!.....look him up ppl

[@LangdonGames]

PC's are home consoles now? I thought a PC was a computer.....

[@caseyV3]

Another great imaginary game, I'm in :)

[@YellowFlash-gl1dd]

does anyone know if i can use the pro controller in this game on the wii u?

[@GreenDog3]

I'm assuming it runs on the same engine and mechanics as Unlimited, so no.

[@gtabro1337]

imagine if it were! because everyone (=normal not extremely nerdy to the point of lifelessness person) knows at least 10 Marvel characters and... 2-4 DC chars. sad.

[@xinfakoliszen]

2014-R.I.P Nintendo

[@SilverShion]

Too generous for a 9 in my opinion. Dont get me wrong, it looks great but......

[@ViETxSOULJAx]

Happy National Comic Book Day guys!

[@VibrGames]

You said systems, not home consoles.

[@Uc3Tr0115]

This game loojs amazing i want it

[@440324trm]

not always logical? thats a sorry excuse, its a video game with superheroes.

[@dansonfusbro]

NOT ALWAYS LOGICAL In a super hero game ?

[@krx50]

this game was kinda disappointing, since each loacation has only one required mission and the optional missions are randomized every time you go to a level, causing some missions to be repeats with different characters, and the emphasis on combat was a big mistake since the combat system is just bashing and shooting. in the end, it's a gimmicked title only worth a rental

[@linkypete9488]

They should do scribblenauts with doctor who!

[@inspiron1552]

I know this is 4 years ago but uhhh.... No

[@delinquent8176]

They should! And every time my favorite characters die, I’ll cry.

[@Impulsionable]

No static shock in this game :((((

[@BaconatorOC]

If this video was called "Call of duty ghost" you would be flooded in a sea of down votes.

[@zercora]

Good reviewer unlike they guy who did the wonderf101101

[@snowfortinmybackyard]

what if you only like marvel?

[@SkitsnGiggs]

i want a marvel one!

[@Roskycore]

Say that to cod..

[@Tank12661]

why is this higher then saints row....

[@yipperdeyip]

The problem is that COD is broken since MW2

[@MangaDragon010]

And we're still waiting for Scribblenauts Unlimited in December.

[@cataholic8040]

Go Doubleblade -.- !

[@AssasinFX]

Gamespot gave it a 5 :O

[@geymer7979]

They should totally do Scribblenauts Pokemon!

[@BentleyTh3Brain]

Gamespot gives lots of games low ratings like The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword

[@HunterG5]

the Vita need this game

[@rodchaccur]

They unfortunetly won't, because Scribblenaunts sells A LOT better on PC :/

[@gtabro1337]

If it only was with Marvel characters... :/

[@Theshwab127]

I give this game a 7. Its not as good as Unlimited. The puzzles if you call them that in this game are more combat based and the combat isn't that good in this game. They took out the creativity. Most random quests you get are Go find this here and Beat this guy up. It really never uses that fun creativity that unlimited did. Unlimited gave puzzles like make the clown happy. Not beat X and Y up . Seriously i am disappointed in this game.

[@CarCrusher3]

if only it wasnt. oh wait it is good!

[@KevinWCase]

If you could only choose one: Unmasked or Unlimited for Wii U?

[@cataholic8040]

How the fuck is this game supposed to be better than unlimited?

[@indiscretion.]

IMO, I think that phrase is a bullshit way to stave off progression and meaningful change in game-play and overall experience. Especially when the game in question has several sequels under it's belt. Again, in my opinion

[@cabersmith]

Make a Marvel Version!

[@Rebelutionaryslayer]

Dang, ign gave Phoenix Wright a 7.2 hahahahahahahahahahah

[@175cool]

Ya whatever about if it ain't broken don't fix it that's what call of duty did and look at all the hate they have now

[@johnnygshorter3845]

which one is better scribblenauts unmasked or unlimited (I can only get 1 of the 2)

[@DieLuke187]

+JohnnyG Shorter unlimeted

[@tarajames1298]

I can't choose

[@Zerethos]

+Ryan Fan What's the difference between the two? I want to get unlimited as well but the nearest video game store in my area only has unmasked.

[@yepthatisme4369]

JohnnyG Shorter how about both :)

[@WarriorKeller]

Damn game not for me never read a comic book to bad

[@Underratedcomedi]

pokemon vs yu gi oh

[@mw2beastking]

HELL YES!!!!

[@NitroGaming56]

Scribblenauts Marvel :D
