Drawn To Life For DS Looks Intersting

Filed in archive Nintendo DS on September 20, 2007

While an 8 year old boy once laughed at me for playing Animal Crossing, because it was a "girly, baby game" it didn't stop that particular title from seriously kicking some gaming a**. So taking a look at Drawn To Life, which is ostensibly aimed at kids, I wonder if it might not also be worth taking for a spin.




What looks particularly cool is the way that player-generated art plays an integral role in the look and feel of the gameworld, right down to the customization of your player character.

JC Fletcher at DS Fanboy writes that:

"Drawn to Life may be a simplistic platformer, but its central gimmick is more than strong enough to make it a high point of the DS library for anyone with an imagination. Younger gamers who haven't spent hundreds of hours in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels will enjoy the collection-based gameplay, as will donkey kong country adherents. Everyone can enjoy the art, both player-created and pre-existing- the colorful, bright, crisp art in this game deserves special attention that it will never get due to being overshadowed by the drawing element."

Sounds novel and worth exploring further. Be sure to check out the in-depth full review at DS Fanboy if that tickles your fancy.
