This review is from: Magic Pengel: The Quest For Color (Video Game)

I bought this as a Christmas present for my five year old daughter. She usually has to watch her older brothers play video games and is left out. She is artistic but obviously likes games as much as any kid. So Magic Pengel looked promising.

She loves it and the older boys like it as well (9 y.o.). It is quite something to draw something and see it come to life, walking around, throwing things, jumping, dancing etc. It doesn't really matter how well you draw - although nicer drawings usually make cooler (not necessarily better) doodles.

And I'll admit it - I've drawn a fair number of doodles myself - including a crab with spinning eyes and a trident, a mean robot named Bud and a yellow belt karate dude. Your imagination is the limit.

The combat system is simple definitely requires a little thinking - another plus - not just jamming the x button over and over.

Could it be better - of course! Load times are a bit of a drag - you eventually top out and can't go much farther - and the doodles don't do anything outside of the arena. So what? There is nothing else like it that I've seen where you can put a little bit of yourself into it and onto the screen. I hope there is an improved sequel. Till then, try it out and use your IMAGINATION.

5.0 out of 5 stars The kind of game where your youngest can compete, November 11, 2004

Someone said this game had no adventure ... Zoe's father has been imprisoned, possibly executed, nobody knows except a stranger who shows up thinking he may have buried Galileo, and who later proves to have some remarkable powers, there's a little girl who defies the tyrrant in the castle, openly, an undercurrent of grassroots resistance, and many questions unanswered.

And you, the innocent outsider who just came to the village to do a bit of doodle duelling, you're not only smack in the middle of it, it might all be resting in your hands.

My 4-year-old told me all that, based on what he and his 6 year old brother could read -- the only downside of this game for the very young is that not all of the conversations have been translated into sound-speech, so while they soon learn how to navigate, there are some gaps in their understanding when they can only pick out a few words (but they have fun trying). Apart from that, since we got Magic Pengel, nobody has wanted to play PacMan World 2 or Scooby-Doo ;)

This is an excellent game. It is similar to pokemon in that you have monsters that you get to battle with- but in this game, you draw your own monsters!
There are some drawbacks- no pun intended- there is very little game here, no adventure really. But, the fun you'll have drawing ANYTHING you ever wanted to battle with more than makes up for it. I hope they'll create another game with an expanded adventure.
This is a grerat gift for kids- all of mine love it- and adults too! I steal it sometimes to draw my own stuff!Fun, fun, fun!
