Drawn to Life Critic Reviews

Drawn to Life is a must-have for every DS owner's library.

An extremely solid little sidescroller, with intricately designed levels, hidden items you'll love and originality to spare.

Drawn to Life has a color and personality far beyond the majority of platformers, and is a perfect fit for the DS functionality to boot, already giving it a good headstart on its competitors quality.

A great example of a game that successfully walks the line between new and older territory, offering a package that appeals to a broad age-group.

Ultimately, however, the uniqueness and enjoyment of being able to create so much of the world yourself makes this one worth playing, even if the gameplay isn't as original and entertaining as the artistic parts.

In the end Drawn to Life may not be the most impressive all around experience, however it is certainly a unique and fun game to play.

It's a brilliant kid's game, and I'm surprise nobody came out with a game like it sooner.

Its original concept and great execution makes something more of what might have been just another platformer. It’s quite a treat to see our own creations in the game world.

It's really a blend of unique and unconventional aspects that either will or won’t appeal to a given audience.

Has more than enough inspired moments to help you see past the shortcomings.

Drawn to Life is by no means a bad game, it's just a simple one with innovative mechanics thrown into the mix.

Though it's a fairly rote platformer with some coloring-book underpinnings, Drawn to Life's drawing mechanic is undeniably unique.

This game has a very solid presentation and is absolutely perfect for younger gamers seeking an animated coloring book; however, I think older gamers will be somewhat disappointed.

Drawn to Life offers up some solid, yet safe, platforming. Where it really shines is in the concept behind its world and the ability to draw sections it. There are few games that let you get creative, but this is definately one of them.

If you have no interest in art or DIY game design, then you should steer clear of DTL, but if you're itching to cook up some digital art, you'll have a blast.

The drawing is spot-on, and if they could clean up the platforming, make a more intricate plot and present us with characters we care about, they could have a true classic on their hands.

Drawn To Life features some excellent sound and music.

Drawn to Life makes excellent use of the DS touch pad by allowing you to easily design your own characters, weapons, and various transports. Unfortunately, the rest of the game can become quite a chore and often becomes redundant.

Something of a bizarre mash-up between a classic 2D platformer and a coloring book, it may not be perfect, but it’s a fun and innovative title that makes great use of the DS’s unique capabilities and that will hopefully grow into a continuing franchise that builds on this strong start.

It shows that there is huge potential for games that let users create more than just a standard character – if only other companies would grow a set and let their developers use their imaginations more.
