Ok, so I got it this morning and have put maybe an hour into it (had to take a couple "bathroom breaks" today).
The controls are crappy. I knew that going in and they do not disappoint in their crappiness. Why they don't let you use the d-pad for movement and the buttons for actions is beyond me.
However, that's really the only bad thing about the game. I love discovering new words to use. I finished the puzzle version of world 1 so far and I'm just going back through it redoing the levels with unique objects. I love using wings to fly around. That's my favorite object so far.
I also love creating characters like a bride and groom and then blowing them up after they've started kissing. For one level, I rode a submarine underwater to get a Starite. Replaying the level, I rode a freaking dolphin. Awesome. I created a sword and killed some monsters with it. I then created an assassin who attacked me. I took his sword and dropped mine. I then created a ninja and a pirate. The ninja went for the dropped sword to battle the pirate. But, the pirate still won. I then blew up the pirate.
Another time, I created a dog, fed the dog poison so he got sick, then I created a flying disc to play with the dog. I hit him with it by accident. This angered him so he attacked me. I beat him to death with a baseball bat. Any game that allows that scenario to play it gets my money easily.
How much time will I invest in the game? Hard to say. I imagine the novelty will wear off after a few weeks or so, but it's still well worth the money, imo. Plus it's something I can throw in and play for fun after that (like the WarioWare games). Plus you can play user-created levels.
