OVERVIEW AND BACKSTORY.
Scratch is more like a game maker than a game. You make small games to upload onto the main site and play. It's suprisingly easy to use. The community is slightly restricted, due to the fact it is based on education. The community is also helpful, and has posted many other tutorials and made quite a few more mature user sites.
GAMEPLAY.
There isn't any. You create the game, or animation, or ANYTHING! It's made to make games of any type, any depth, any plot, ANYTHING. You create it, such a simple set of items which can allow anything to happen, and as a bonus, it is esayer to use than Mark Overmars Game Maker 7. How is that for awesome? there isn't any official tutorial, and you must learn a lot through trial and error, but after you get the hang of it, you can create some of the most amazing things.
THE CREATIVE PART.
like I said, the whole thing IS the creative pert, limited by your experiance and understanding. I reccomend a lot of looking through the site and playing before you try it, though.
