Scribblenauts Unlimited is a unique game where the whole gimmick is that you can write down anything, and it will materialize for you. You use this to solve puzzles and sometimes defeat enemies.
"Oh no, I need someone to cut that rope", so you type "Huge knife with lazers, guns and wings" to solve the issue. This sounds fun on its own, but ie gets extremely old quickly. Most of the time you spawn in the same 5 items to solve all the different quests, and the game rarely makes you think outside of the box.
The issue with being able to do anything is that it's hard to design clever puzzles, especially without hinting in the puzzle wording itself how it can be solved.
While the game is fun enough on its own in the beginning, after only a couple of hours you have really seen all it has to offer, and the mechanics aren't interesting enough to make a lasting impression.
