Watch this Scribblenauts ad with your pterodactyl

by JC Fletcher { Sep 11th 2009 at 6:15PM }

How often does a company get TV advertising for games absolutely right? There's usually some aspect of a game's presentation to the general audience that is groan-worthy or embarrassing -- and potentially damaging to the game's perception. That's not the case with the Scribblenauts ad!

This live-action ad does a great job of getting the gameplay across, and presenting it in an appealing way. In fact, the events of this commercial would work as a real Scribblenauts level. Bonus points for using the real Scribblenauts art style for the summoned objects.

I'm really wanting this one...along w/ other numerous games. Unfortunately it may be awhile before I can afford it. As it is now I had to sell my Wii & all my Wii games to pay some bills. Thankfully I still have my DS Lite (for now). So for gaming now...I have my gaming PC & my DS Lite. It should be no problem considering I have a fair amount of amazing PC games to catch up on. Not to mention some modding I want to do as well.

Well, my life is, but I smoke a lot of weed.

well, the graphics are pretty bad and unimpressive, but i guess they arent groan-worthy...

Ross @ Sep 11th 2009 11:12PM

Please tell me you're sarcastic. This is looking to be one of the best games of all time. Stuff graphics, this is going to be a seriously awesome game!

Muddy Brown and bloom = good graphics
Colourful and stylish = bad graphics?

wuh

idowantpie @ Sep 12th 2009 11:10AM

they look like they were drawn by a 5 year old, is my point

Maybe that's the intent of the graphics? :l

It aims to appeal to a wider audience. Honestly, would you be able to say that if it had the graphics of say...Modern Warfare 2, it would appeal to those same people? And more importantly, would it be nice to see a cartoony bike drawn or some realistic bike poofing out?
