This game was most certainly not an opportunistic merging of two individually popular franchises to generate a few dollars, but is a very carefully considered product that intelligently leverages both IP’s strengths. What’s remarkable is that rather than fracture or weaken the playing experience, these are the conflicts that define the game’s strengths. It’s a game about heroes who largely solve their problems by violent means, but it doesn’t have the mechanics to be a violent game. It’s a game that wants to be approachable for children, but also wants to appeal to those who have already grown up with DC. It’s a game about creativity and self-expression, and it’s also a licensed game about a property filled with characters and locations established over decades. Scribblenauts Unmasked seems to be a game balancing many different seemingly opposing pressures. …and I’m pleased to report that I’m now a fan of both. Prior to playing this game, I knew my way around the Justice League pretty well but was new to Scribblenauts. However, what separates the quality crossover projects from shallower vehicles for fanservice is whether they can appeal to a person who isn’t already enamored with all included properties. The latter group of people knows that this is a game for them. Is there overlap between fans of Scribblenauts and DC universe enthusiasts? Sure, of course.
Scribblenauts Unmasked, like any other crossover project, is tasked with appealing to multiple audiences.
