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 AWESOME!

What "draw" me to this game (no pun intended), was the fact that you could create your own character and other elements in the game. Sounds fun, no?

That is not as fun as it should be, mainly because you are limited to the space, proportions and templates that the game gives you. There's not that much depth in it, and after an hour or two of playing you'll just be doing things just to get them over with.

Gameplay wise is boring, jump here, shoot there, and backtrack if you forgot something. This is the most annoying aspect of the gameplay. In each level you must rescue three "raposas" and collect 4 torn pieces of a template. If you skipped one, you won't be able to move on, but the game doesn't even remotely tells you what section you may or may not have missed. Making backtraging tedious and a constant.

The game difficulty is very easy, but in some stages is easy to die while jumping or flying, mainly because when you jump or "take-off" you won't be able to see the enemies coming right at you making you lose health or die.

Story wise, you play as the creator (you know God), who must help a village to defeat darkness. This is how the game goes:

1-Talk to mayor
2-Talk to some other raposa
3-Talk to mayor
4-Tap on the flame of life
5-Remove darkness from one section
6-Talk to previous raposa
7-Return to talk to the mayor
7.5 You may need to talk to another raposa again
8-Go through a gate and start "playing."

Is really annoying, the characters are dumb, there's really no meat to the story. You never feel bad for them, at a point I saw why the "creator" forgot about them, they' boring, annoying and demanding.

After reaching the "beach area" they say,: oh thank you the beach is great, but we're bored, can you draw some toys for us to enjoy." Hello, the creator doesn't do that you do dumb citizen!

This is the only game I've ever wanted to grab and throw out of the window, smash it with a hammer and burn it. It is that bad.

Great fun

I personally enjoy drawing and designing things. so i bought this game for my younger brother. i also played on it and found it quite interesting. not only the drawing, but the story was also quite adventurous.

This game is very cute in all ways, the characters are dimunitive and you can draw items that you use and your own character. The one negative thing is that the game is very short. I would look forward to playing a sequel.

My daughter loves this game.

My daughter is an avid video gamer and she loves this game. Not only does she enjoy the actual game itself, she just loves drawing the pictures to go along with the game. The drawings can be as simple or as complex as you want to make them and then are incorporated into the game. She often returns to previous drawings and tries to outdo her last one. Her six year old brother sometimes plays the game and draws pictures. He's not interested in the actual playing of the game at all but is content to just make up characters. I think this would be a great game for all levels of gamers.

My Favorite Game Yet !!!!

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

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.
