"Controls are fixed."  If they knew the controls were broken in the beginning, why did they release the game in the way it did.

I would like to know: If I typed in "Lincoln Force" in the game, will I get a brain in a Jar?

A lot of it was that they had no idea the response they were going to get. When they showed it at E3 last year it exploded in popularity, when in reality they were really marketing it to a more casual user. As they were literally at the end of their dev cycle they had to make some cuts...including fixing the controls, among other bugs.

Oh my..... sometimes the ppl who makes games, THINK that its all ok, and after it gets out, the find 2 hings: 1, they where right. 2, guess.....they where wrong.And as the control thingy became sutch a huge issue, ofc they went back and had a look at it. 
 
I swear....sometimes ppl really dont use theire brain.

@JCGamer:  They didn't completely know the controls were borked in the first game. The reviews were just very condescending on them and said it held the game back from what was so cool about it. Now they're making 'em better, and I think it's great!

Here is how I think it works. The adjectives are a set items that will be attached to the "noun". So gentlemanly just attaches a top hat and monocle to whatever the base word is. It would be nice to see though.

Yea, but having a control scheme where the game was either unplayable, or unenjoyable does not give me hope that these dudes know what they are doing in the gameplay arena.  Hope the game turns out well though.

Irresistible bear trap was hilarious.
I wish this was on line somehow. Would be awesome with something like Banjo Kazooie where you can see how other people figured out the levels.

There's probably something else going on too, like behaviour patterns, a "Gentlemanly" T-rex would probably never be hostile towards you..I'm just guessing though. Things like "Giant something-something" is pretty self explanatory, you take the normal sprite and make it a lot bigger.

@masterherocard said:

Why would you want your Bullet Gun to explode? :P 
 
Now that you mention it though, one of the annoying things about the first scribblenauts was that the weapons had very limited ammo. Time to take a page out of Deadly Premonition and get yourself a "Infinite Ammo Machinegun". 
 
So yeah I'll probably buy this game too. Actually I'm thinking about going back too the first one and playing around right now.

I had hopes for the first but was a bit disappointed, but this one seems 775 million times better so maybe I'll give it another chance. <>

Of course, you gotta type in something like Insane Lincoln Force, see if you get a bunch of crazy Abes running around.

I was massively disappointed with the first game, but it looks like they really shaped up with this one, so I'll probably give it a shot.

I still don't see how this will fix what was broken about the first game; I mean adjectives and more words are cool, but the problem with the first one wasn't that it didn't have enough words

You should try watching the interview then, as they bring up other things that will be adressed for the sequel within the first few seconds, and a few more things as it goes along.
