Fun but limiting

According to the advertisement of this game, your imagination is the limit. That is "kinda" true. Originally I thought you could draw items into the game to interact with, but what you actually do is type the names of objects with adjectives into a notepad and it puts it into the game for you.
I rate this a 7 because it kept me entertained for at least 3 or 4 hours.
It only gets a 7, though, because I could not complete some levels because I could not figure out "what the game wanted". For example, one level wants you to create professors for a university. The hints are "Health, Language, Technology, Math, and Science Departments". But if you put "Latin Teacher", "Spanish Teacher" or "German Teacher", the game will not accept it because it thinks you are being racist. If you put language teacher, the game will also not accept it. If you put Spaniard, the game will not accept it. Health teacher or Professor of Health is not accepted, but if you put nutritionist, it's ok.
In the snowman creating machine, you cannot put a pipe, because the game doesn't want children to associate it with smoking. That's good I guess, but everyone knows Frosty the Snowman had a pipe, and that's a kid's movie.
If you need to get a knight across the water, and you create a submarine, the knight will not get into the submarine because the AI is not good enough and the submarine will sit there empty.
Because of the limitations I got frustrated with the game.
If you rent this game for your kids, make sure their spelling is really good, because the gameplay is typing in words.
