It appears that Warner Bros. Interactive and 5th Level are interested in building on the word of mouth publicity, which Scribblenauts received when it came out in 2009 by creating a new game in the series set to arrive in late 2010 with a host of improvements.

The GoNintendo magazine is also offering some details on the upcoming game. It seems that Scribblenauts 2 should get a bigger dictionary, featuring about 10,000 new words, which players can translate into game objects, 120 new levels that can be solved through good use of the abovementioned words and a much improved control system.

When it comes to the words, the game will offer an extra focus on adjectives, allowing players to write them down in order to modify the state of the game object they are targeting.

5th Level is also interested in allowing players to create their own levels and share them with others via the connection capabilities of the Nintendo DS. A new hint system is also being created, allowing all players to progress through the levels when they get stuck.

The first Scribblenauts was a breakthrough in the way players interacted with the game. Besides controlling the main character, gamers can write down words on the screen and see them come to life. This means that there's no single way to go through one level and that innovation and experimentation are at the core of the experience. The game has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide until now.

One of the big problems of Scribblenauts was its being confined to the space of a Nintendo DS cartridge. This limited the number of images developers could link with words, resulting in one image being reused for a variety of words closely related in significance. It will be interesting to see how the adjective focus announced for Scribblenauts 2 will solve this issue.
