Great game for those who love to draw and create stuff.
Presentation:
An adequate story, not all that engaging, but it pushes you to continue. It does remind me of Black & White on how the people in the world refer to you as the "creator" of everything in their world.
Graphics:
Nothing special, it is a DS game. However, how good the graphics are actually depend on your drawing skill. The creation process in making your own puppet, weapons, transportation, monuments, etc. is really quite awesome. Although, the only real gripe I have with the ability to draw anything is that sometimes there are outlines preventing one from creating exactly what they want.
Sound:
Standard, nothing special. One cool aspect of the sound, however, is when you close your DS, your people sigh; and when you open your DS, they cheer.
Gameplay:
Drawn to Life is your typical side-scrolling adventure game, reminiscent to that of old-school Mario or Sonic. Though it does play all too similar to those games, Drawn to Life adds the drawing ability and a decent story to keep the gameplay fresh.
Lasting Appeal:
There is quite a lot of lasting appeal in Drawn to Life. Though the story may not change, but you are able to change your puppet and all other items in the game.
All in all, I would tell anyone who owns a DS and loves to either draw or playing side-scrolling adventures to buy or rent this game.
