![]() ![]() ![]() They're much simpler, and often involve creating an item for a superhero, defeating a supervillain, or recovering a lost item. The random tasks are shown with reputation icons over them, indicating that you'll get points you can spend to unlock new areas or costumes based on your location. Story missions, identified by a blue star over them, are somewhat lengthy sequences where you're given a specific superhero situation told through cutscenes and have to intervene to earn "Starite," the items that can repair your sister's magic globe. Gameplay Each location has a few specific story missions and a handful of randomly tasks and puzzles. Surprisingly, even Neil Gaiman's Endless aren't available, and if you try to summon Death it only makes a hooded skeleton with a scythe instead of the enigmatic elemental in the form of a young woman who captured readers' imaginations in Sandman. John Constantine can be created since he's the de facto leader of Justice League Dark in New 52, and even Tommy Monaghan from Hitman is available (though sadly the members of Section 8 aren't, so no Dogwelder or Defensetrator). Since this game is rated E, I couldn't summon any Vertigo characters (and I really wanted Spider Jerusalem to angrily stomp through Metropolis), but there are tons of characters from New 52, post-Crisis, pre-Crisis, and Elseworlds universes. Most impressive is how obscure and complete the Bat-Computer is, with two Red Bees, three Blue Beetles (including Daniel Garrett), and Osito, Bane's childhood teddy bear. ![]() You can unlock 57 different costumes for Maxwell to get the powers of different heroes and supervillains, but the costumes require spending reputation you earn playing through the game.

You can make it happen with a few words. Not only can you make anything like in previous games, but you can make nearly any DC universe character or item. ![]() This is the main appeal of Scribblenauts Unmasked. The game has both the adjectives from Super Scribblenauts onward and a selection of 2,300 DC universe characters and items (which you can browse separately in the Bat-Computer), making tens of thousands of possible objects to create and hundreds of thousands of adjective-object combinations. You work with the Justice League and other DC superheroes (but mostly summon them from your magic notebook rather than interact with them as characters) and fight, capture, or irritate DC supervillains.Īs the fourth installment in 5 th Cell and WB Games' Scribblenauts series, Scribblenauts Unmasked ($19.98 at Amazon) uses the same basic mechanics as the previous titles: write anything in the notebook to create it in the game, and use those things to solve problems. You have to run around DC locations like Gotham City, Metropolis, and Oa, solving problems to fix the hijinks. He and his sister, who has a magic globe that can take them anywhere, want to see whether Batman or Superman is better so they go to the DC universe and hijinks ensure.
