It's innovative alright...........IMO a sequel should be created to correct the flaws of the original, mainly control.

Scribblenauts is fun for me in short spurts. I can't play it for more than 30 min or I get really bored. Probably because I'm lack of imaginations. :(

The fact that I'm still playing a game with completely broken controls shows just how novel and fun it is. If the sequel uses button controls to run, jump and interact this will be my most wanted game of 2010. If it still uses stylus only... I'm not Getting it.
