  New games in this series tend to expand on the formula rather than improve upon it, and that phenomenon is present in this iteration as well. Srcibblenauts Unmasked doesn’t really improve on the formula, but it boldly makes slight tweaks that fit its new costume.

  While the subject matter didn’t totally resonate with me there is no denying the strength of the DC Comics brand. 5th Cell pays tribute to that with terrific fan service with their use of the DC Comics universe license. Of course the gameplay is pure Scribblenauts too. Although the bonus points Scribblenauts Unmasked earns by the fan service it provides cannot be ignored, at the end of the day I caution you to keep your expectations realistic and there is nothing revolutionary here. Still, gamers should enjoy the experience.

  Overall, the story arc of the game is worth experiencing if you’re a Scribblenauts fan. It’s even better if you’re a fan of DC Comics. Starite missions are fun and varied and the storylines that progress are worth experiencing, but the filler missions as you move from story to story are a bit bland.

  So here we are then: yet another sequel with a case of the "could've beens." It's still amusing, but let's just be honest, the amount of interest in Scribblenauts is getting a bit smaller every time, no matter how much we might enjoy it.

  ...attempts to spruce up the formula from past games, the steps forward aren’t nearly enough to pull the game out of the realm of mediocrity

  Scribblenauts Unmasked, when it boils down to it, is a good idea wrapped in poor execution. The main missions for grabbing the starites are fun, but the puzzles that you need to complete to gain reputation to unlock those missions seem to be there to stretch the game to it's 8-12 hour length.
