At last year's E3, everyone went absolutely ape-crap over Scribblenauts. Before the con, this DS game word-drawing puzzler was under everyone's radar, but quickly took the whole place by storm with its innovative gameplay. Today, Warner Brothers announced a sequel: Scribblenauts 2 will be available in fall 2010.
The big innovation: Adjectives! Scribblenauts 2 will allow players to add descriptors to their nouns, so rather than just draw Cthuhlu (my solution to all problems), you'll be able to draw "Vengeful Cthuhlu" or even "Vengeful, Constipated Cthuhlu." According to the game's official description:
"Adjectives can change the colour, size, elements, behaviours and many other aspects of the object they are describing. Multiple adjectives can be combined together to produce incredibly creative objects, allowing the player's imagination to run wild for a truly unique and individualistic experience."
Can adverbs be far behind??
I wonder if the excitement and hype of the first game can be matched for its sequel. I think a lot of the reason people dug it was because Scribblenauts literally was like nothing anyone had seen before, where a sequel, even with adjectives, is by definition very close to its source material. On the other hand, any game that rewards you for thinking of interesting nouns is awesome. What do you think?

My friend loves scribblenauts but as a hardcore gamer it didn't do it for me, adjectives look cool. now only if it was two player...

My 8yr old LOVED the original. OK I admit it I loved it as well. Hours of fun as it helped him with his spelling words at the same time. I couldn't be happier. I see 2 as being another hit for the DS.

I'm guessing adverbs will be included, considering adverbs is a subset of adjectives. Maybe Scribblenauts 3 will be the introduction of verbs as a puzzle solving method.
For example, you have to move box from point A to point B. "Lift" to pick up box. "Walk" to move. "Drop" to place box. or...Cthuhlu Smack.

If they get the control system right and manage to make the puzzles more varied (puzzles in the original seemed to generally come down to *attach object a to flying object b with rope then fly object a to destination c*, or maybe I'm just lacking in imagination) this could be amazing - basically, everything the original should have been.

oh man, i haven't seen a lovecraft reference in a videogame since Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and i hope to the various other, less famous inter-dimensional alien gods that we here on earth never have to incur the wrath of a vengeful, constipated cthuhlu

If only this game was on Wii. It's just too awesome to fit on the tiny DS screen. Well I guess the new DS may clear that up still... Scribblenauts Wii!

Yeah, I would a;ways manage to drive the guy into lave, down a hole etc. and getting into helicopters was a mess as well. Despite that, i'm definately picking the sequel up.

The only thing i have to ask is please change the controls. I can't count the number of times I would get frustrated trying to use the stylus to control the guy and screw up in numerous ways.

They should release scribblenauts to PC! I would say PSN but i wouldn't want to type on the PS3 any more than necessary.

I bought scribblenauts for myself and wasted many hours with it. I will buy scribblenauts 2 and waste many many more

@jmllmj
Are you aware of how many adjectives there are? Try thousands. I think that's enough for a sequel

I just got the first Scribblenaughts for my 8-year old niece, she loves it. My brother and his wife are even playing it telling me all the crazy crap they try to throw into the game. I think the sequel will sell, it's just too bad it wasn't a XBLA or PSN game so the adjectives could have just been part of an update or something..doesn't sound like enough for a full-fledged sequel.
