Drawn to Life is more than a gimmicky use of the DS touch screen. This game has a lot of depth in both the story and platforming mode. While it may be targeted at children, it has plenty to enjoy for maturing gamers as well. The fun of seeing your drawings come to life in the game is seemingly inexhaustible. The graphics have a charming style and the soundtrack is in the top of it's class on the DS. The personalities of the little fox people, called Raposa, are varied and quite funny at times. It's definitely a worthy game for any DS collection. I highly recommend it.

SO much fun!!!

This game, to put it bluntly, is a combination of Mario, Animal Crossing, and a coloring book. This is the coloring book part. It is really fun because you get to draw your own hero and a lot of times in your adventure draw like a cloud to get across a gap. you get to draw with pixel-by-pixel drawing if you want and if you do you can just use a template or make your own which is quite hard in the scope of things. This is wher the Mario part comes in. You have to go in to 4 separate gates which represent 4 different realms. You go through side scrolling adventures which are excruciatingly long. You run, jump and ground pound just like in mario. Fun sidecrolling with boss battles at the end of every realm. This is the animal crossing part. You also can monitor the population of your town. You have to draw certain things like a nice sign for a restaurant and the town crop. Every time you complete a level you will have rescued 3 people, which will get added to your population. Overall this is one AWESOME game. I recommend it to anyone that likes mario and stuff like that.

I have been an avid game player since my children were small and we adventured thru the worlds of Mario. I was never as good as my boys but I had lots of fun and I still love Mario. But this game is THE BEST because I can create the things that are used in the game. "I" am the creator! And it's not too hard for a "Mom" like me. I just love this game!

the perfect gift

An Awesome Platformer Where YOU Design the Platforms!

"Drawn to Life" is really, in essence, three games seamlessly united into one: lightweight RPG, slick side-scrolling platformer, and art/drawing program. If you enjoy these elements, even to a slight extent, you will enjoy the experience of "Drawn to Life."

There is some sketchy theology involved. The game begins by asking you to draw a globe, some trees, and some creatures. It then brands you "the Creator". Turns out you created a whole world and then abandoned it. Then, one day, a funny little creature called a raposa (the main species of inhabitants of your world) prays to the Creator, and you answer.

The two most distinct types of game play are the RPG and the platforming elements. The RPG first has you design up to three "heroes" as the Creator. From then on, you play both the role of Creator and hero as you interact with the raposas in a small village and "create" elements of their life as needed.

The platforming element takes over when your hero travels through different doors to action areas such as a snowy mountain and a sandy beach. Here, your hero proceeds in classic side-scrolling style, defeating enemies with a non-lethal gun that fires projectiles like snow ball and acorns or simply by crushing them with his or her butt, leaping across platforms, and collecting coins and hidden items.

The most unique feature of the game, and the element that is incorporated into both of the distinct gaming experiences, is the drawing feature. If you can handle Microsoft Paint, you can handle this. The DS makes excellent use of the stylus to draw several of the game's interactive elements. This starts with the design of the various heroes, all painted over a manikin to provide the movement structure, and all treated as one by the raposas. If you're not feeling creative, the game provides patterns that can be altered or simply "brought to life." If you're feeling creative. Throughout the game, you'll also be asked to draw several pieces of the town the RPG is set in. Throughout the platforming worlds, you will draw your guns, along with several vehicles. Also, you will get to draw several unique platforms, all which behave differently. For an example, you get to design stars that must be jumped on while twinkling and bits of debris that are caught in the gusts of winds that blow you across chasms. These elements, which you draw, blend surprisingly well with the rest of the environments you interact with, and there's a certain thrill involved in riding your own creations.

The stylus is also well utilized in other aspects of the game, such as opening doors during the platforming levels and moving objects during the RPG. And your drawing also come into play in unique ways, such as your heroes head becoming the icon for lives remaining during side-scrolling and also the 1ups that can be collected.

Hazy theology aside, "Drawn to Life" is a fun game that nurtures creativity, and if you own a Nintendo DS, you have no excuse not to own this awesome game.

Fun for mom too!!

I've been playing my daughters Drawn To Life game and find it to be so much fun...alot like a mario game where you get to go to the different worlds and collect things except it is so cool that you get to draw your character as well as other items...like your shooter, elevator thingies, wings and much more. I have to say the game play is very very simple...advanced gamers will prob not find it very challenging in that regard...but I love it...I dont have patience for hard games...and the drawing part is too much fun.

Four thumbs up!

I got this game for my 10 year old son. He LOVES it and so does his 8 year old sister! They would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone! Our rule is don't buy a game until you've tried it or know someone that has it - however I bought this purely on reviews and the kids are fighting over it!
I just might have to break down and buy a second copy. They are playing it more than their pre-Christmas favorites, Nintendogs and Lego Star Wars.

This game was a Christmas gift for my 8 year old grandson. He loves to draw so this was a perfect addition to his Nintendo DS games. I rated this product based on what my grandson told me. AWESOME!
