In the top 2 kids wii games ever! I usually do not rate games but Drawn to Life was a huge hit in our house!! I got this game for my 6 year old twins....they absolutely love it! But so do my 9 year old daughter and 11 year old son. My 11 year old is not into video games at all, he'd prefer to read a book any day, but he loves this game...I think because unlike other games, this one really allows the child to use his imagination. The only other game that has been this huge of hit in this household was Mario Galaxy which I also highly recommend. A++

My 5 year old loves this game, and I love that it allows him to be creative while gaming. There are lots of opportunities for logical thinking and problem solving as well. It is so much fun seeing the things you create in the game (butterflies flying, interactive objects, as well as your own character, etc)! It does require reading, and some parts in the levels are a little hard, but we have been playing it together and having a great time.

The act of drawing with the wiimote took some getting used to, but there are templates that you can customize and adjust if you are having trouble. As we have been playing we have been able to get more and more creative!

Overall, I recommend this game....very kid friendly so far!

My 10-yr old son has the Spongebob Drawn to Life on the DS. So we thought he would like this as well. We were right. He has been having a blast with this. My 7-yr old son likes it too. I like how they have to figure out some physics/gravity problems to solve some of the levels. I like a game that makes them think at least a little bit and not just blast their way through to the next level for the whole game.

My kids love playing this game (10 and 5 yrs old). My 10 yr old has an easier time with 'drawing' the pictures she wants on the Wii, while my 5 yr old asks for her help a lot of time because drawing using only the Wii-mote can be very tricky. It is definitely much easier to draw and play on the DS but the Wii version is fun once you get the hang of it.

You start the game by drawing your own character that will play the game. Then throughout the game you have to draw your own things (platform, heart, log...) that assist you in getting to where you need to go. Plus other random free draw squares to complete parts or move on. The kids enjoy seeing their own drawings come to life on the screen (butterflies really fly after they are drawn). I recommend this game to anyone with kids that enjoy being creative and drawing.

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.

I purchased this game for my 9 year old son. He absolutely loves it. How many games can you create your own character and play with it? How much fun to watch him drawing different objects that are then used in the game. Great Idea, Great Game. He also has it for DS. Nothing bad to say at all.

her dad had to help her a little bit but it looks like the type of game she'll be able to play alone after she gets the hang of it. almost no reading involved, so good for smaller kids.

The game is fun until you see something you want to make. You cant make it until there is a sign there. You dont know how long that will take. First you draw the sun, earth, brige, cookie shop sign. I just got this game for my 10th birthday. This is one of my favorite games for wii. I recomend it to lots of people that have a wii in my class. It's a great game.

This was a gift for my nephew and he insisted on writing the product review himself:
