You're allowed to make the game your own by generating a hero and world completely from your imagination. However, where the developers put their main focus - the creation aspect - is where every age group will be able to enjoy the title. The main thing you must remember is that Drawn to Life is a game aimed toward kids, so the story, gameplay and characters are very simple. No matter how good you may think your artistic skills are, your creations will not look like masterpieces, although the creation tools are sufficient enough for you to generate a character who may look like one the developers may have put together. However, the graphics really fit the simple style of the game. The graphics are nothing above what the Game Boy Advance was capable of, and by no means do they push the limits of the Nintendo DS. Aside from drawing, these tasks are tedious, and you'll want to rush through so you can get back to saving more Raposas. You'll also need to tap some of the dark clouds surrounding the town to expose more areas to explore. One of the first things you draw is a sun so that you can bring them out of the continuous winter they've been having. This usually consists of simply talking to them to progress the story, but the main part is drawing objects for the town and clearing darkness from it. In between each stage, you'll be walking around the overworld and helping the villagers. If and when you do get hurt by a baddie, extra health is usually just around the corner. The enemies are extremely easy, and the game is generally a breeze. Unfortunately, Drawn to Life controls simpler than your common Mario title, and similarly, the level layout is also very straightforward. Throw in a projectile weapon that changes with the theme of the stages, and you've got yourself a decent platformer. You're still jumping on bad guys' heads, butt-stomping and coin collecting, just like you've been doing for years. The controls will feel familiar to anyone who has ever played any platformer. You can even create an entire Suessian world, if you'd like. You'll be asked to draw clouds and other platforms on which to walk, or leaves and debris that can look however you want them to look. However, with stencils, a shape forms your boundaries, but you can draw whatever you like.
You simply color pre-planned shapes when you have to color a whale, you can be creative, but it won't look like anything other than a whale. There are two different ways to create: coloring and stencils. What makes each stage so fun is creating a small portion of it on your own, thereby making the game a unique experience for every player. You also need to clear Shadow Goo throughout each stage by rubbing the stylus over it.
Every time you find the pages and complete a stage, you are called upon to create something essential for the townsfolk, such as crops, rain or a sun. You'll go through each stage with the objective of rescuing three Raposas and finding four template pages that belong to the Book of Life. Once you've created your character, you must embark on your journey to rid the world of its darkness. Their repertoire mostly consists of platforming essentials like running, jumping and butt-stomping, but these moves do add depth to the game, which is exactly what the developers hope will keep you coming back for more. It is truly great to see your creations come to life, although you won't see any intricate movement from your heroes. You can watch it run in the top screen as it's being drawn so you can see the animations and know if you're sketching the correct body proportions. You can choose from a variety of pre-made heroes, but Drawn to Life is focused on creativity, so why not make your own? Using a layout that maps where the arms, legs, torso and head should be, you get to draw and color your character. The first thing you'll be asked to draw is your main character. The townsfolk call on you to create a hero to battle this darkness and bring their world out of turmoil.Ĭue the virtual canvas. In Drawn to Life, you take on the role of a god-like "Creator." Your loyal followers, the Raposas, live in a town that has been overtaken by darkness, which was created by an evil denizen. Developer 5th Cell brings us Drawn to Life, an adventure/platformer title that allows players to create their own heroes and craft the levels to fit their own imaginations - all using the power of the stylus. We've had some gems, like Kirby: Canvas Curse, but others just haven't lived up to their potential. With so many games out for the Nintendo DS now, it's difficult to find a title specifically tailored for the DS' unique touch-screen features.
