Scribblenauts multiplayer
I will say, though, that the motion controls are very responsive. They’re such dated concepts that don’t appeal all these years later. You’ll participate in exciting activities like wildly swinging the Joy Cons to hit a pinata or moving it up and down to pump up a balloon. Over half the minigames don’t use the dictionary mechanics at all, and out of these games most of them rely on gimmicky motion controls that feel like they were ripped out of the Wii’s launch year. Seeing as this is a Scribblenauts game you would think that most of the minigames would fall into the former category. The minigames are split into two kinds those that revolve around summoning objects with words, and those that revolve around buttons and motion controls instead. There’s also a Mario Party style boardgame mode that adds a metagame component to the structure.

The focus of Showdown is its minigames for two players. The central conceit of Scribblenauts (summoning objects by writing words) is barely utilised in the party game portion of Showdown, and while it tries to capture that classic Scribblenauts magic with more traditional sandbox levels, these fall flat and fail to compare with the levels of previous games. However, it squanders any potential that concept has. Scribblenauts Showdown presents a promising concept – a party game in which you need to write objects to help you out in minigames. Whether it was coming up with a MacGyver-esque contraption to get you through the Action levels, seeing how obscure a word you could think of in order to solve a puzzle or just messing around and seeing all the ways objects could interact with each other, there were a lot of good times to be had. The Scribblenauts games might not have been the most refined games out there, but they were such a joy to play.
