Well that's only if you're the only person playing. You can totally co-op those levels with another player. It's not every stage either, at least I don't think?

[Mzo]

What do they do during the other levels?

[George]

In the other demo stage you could just play as 2 playable characters running around like Origins. I think there's a co-op mode or some specific co-op stages that require you to be the flying dude.

Man, I just want a normal game.

I thought i read something about them re-tooling it, but i'm not sure. I wonder if the delay in release has anything to do with people not being too happy about the touch-screen controls.

Scribblenauts looks like a good 2-D game with simplistic graphics too. I've never played the DS games though, and I'm having trouble discerning what kind of game this is from the preview videos. How would you guys describe Scribblenauts? Is it a good game for people who enjoy 2-D platformers?

It's puzzle game and nothing like a platformer. Basically you'll be presented with a situation like getting from point A to point B, and then you'll write in what objects you want the game to spawn in order to affect the preexisting creatures and items to create a path.

Thought they said the tablet areas were geared to be more bonus levels and not a large portion of the main game. Sucks they took out the shooter levels though.

NSMB looks pretty fun on this:

Thanks for clarifying what the game is like for me. The video you posted was the best illustration of the game play mechanics that I've seen. I especially liked the part where he used Pegasus to cross the water. It looks like something I might enjoy.

So, are you able to type in any word you want, and the game spawns it's version of that? Or, do you have to find the objects in the game first, and then they become inventory items like an RPG?

[Mzo]

Type in anything at any time. Seeing how many things are programmed in is like, all the fun of the game.
