Where To Buy Drawn to Life The Next Chapter

We just bought the game and have just started playing it but I think we've played enough to offer a review / and a word of caution.

First off, the game looks great, the drawing tool is fun to use (though took a little getting used to). It's a bit tough to draw picture perfect characters and object using the wiimote but the imperfectness of the characters and other objects you draw actually adds to the charm of this game.

Now for the not so good part:

I bought this game for my grand kids (well for the eight years old anyway, I knew it would be difficult for my 5 years old) and while they really liked the fact that they can help to create the world around them; they also loved the graphics and the story; the gameplay proved too frustrating. I'm surprised that a game for young children would include limited lives during quests, and omits the ability to save the game during a quest.

During the various quests, your character starts off with 2 lives and picks up and looses lives as the quest goes on. If a young player dies (or gets sent to bed) before completing a quest, they have to start over. I'm not sure that having limited lives adds to the gameplay when the game is played by younger kids. The status of the various quests are also not well defined. By that I mean that it is unclear how far into the quest your character is. Some quests tells you to find traces of another character but you have no idea how many you have to find or how many you have found.

The game is fun for older kids and their grand parents. We really liked the fact that we get to help crete and beautiful to look at and not bad to play for older kids , but for kids 10 and younger, it can be frustrating.Get more detail about Drawn to Life The Next Chapter.
