![]() ![]() Of course, no god worth its salt actually does all this work itself. ![]() Wouldn't you know it, but that god is you, and after you decide to start speaking to the young daughter of the town's mayor, the once-downtrodden raposas are suddenly bristling with excitement and asking you for favor after favor to help rid their town of this pesky darkness. Also absent is "The Creator," the god that the raposas worship, who evidently abandoned them sometime ago. Dark clouds are choking the life out of the raposas' modest village, specifically due to the destroyed pages of "the book of life," which is a book that literally contains all the items needed for living (the sun, night, time, rain, and so on and so forth). The premise of Drawn to Life involves a breed of adorable cat/rodent-looking creatures called raposas, a cheerful race that has fallen on hard times due to a viral darkness plaguing the land. There's something a little bit weird about playing as a god-controlled mannequin. Even with some limitations, the artistic aspects of the game are undeniably cool. However, for less experienced players, the overly familiar gameplay won't be as big of a deal. It's the kind of plain-and-simple platformer that's been done to death, with a few fetch quests tossed in to pad out the experience. If the game has any flaw, it's that it's not necessarily that interesting as a game. You can indeed draw and design lots of unique images, even if some of those images are limited by static outlines provided to you. It sounds like the picture-perfect concept for a DS game, and in most ways, it delivers on its promise. It lets you use the stylus to draw and design a variety of things, from the weapons you use, right down to your very own avatar. In a nutshell, the game is a platformer that allows you a bit of freedom of artistic expression. Drawn to Life for the Nintendo DS is probably the best $30 coloring book you'll ever play. ![]()
