It’s impressive enough that developer 5th Cell has included so many famous (and less famous) faces in the game, but what’s more impressive is how faithfully the characters are reproduced. And if you aren’t well versed in DC lore, the game’s Batcomputer function allows players to look up backstory on all of the various characters and items in the game, as well. Even the most seemingly random and forgotten characters are there inside the game, from G’nort to Sugar and Spike. Type in “Batman” and tons of variants beyond the traditional become available. If you can think of a character or item from DC Comics lore, Maxwell can summon them. Like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, Scribblenauts Unmasked revels in bringing in obscure and minor characters. Maxwell is still the game’s main character, but he’ll have to ally himself with the DC Universe’s greatest heroes in order to save the day. Upon arrival, they discover that Maxwell’s Doppelganger is working alongside the villains of the DC Universe and attempting to snag starites to cause trouble. Scribblenauts Unmasked starts with Maxwell and Lily getting pulled into a DC comic book.
I was happy to discover that I was right. Giving Maxwell the ability to bring characters and items from the DC Universe to life just might have been the perfect way to bring something new to the Scribblenauts franchise. When Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure was first announced, I knew that the game was brimming with potential. Flying a little more under the radar, however, was another interesting combination: Scribblenauts and the DC Universe. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes gave the heroes of Marvel Comics a LEGO makeover, and the result was one of my personal favorite games of the year. In 2013, two very unique comic book/video game mash-ups were released on Nintendo systems.
