Summary
In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for Wii, players draw their own heroes using the Wii Remote to find the Artifacts of Power and rid the Raposa village of an evil, shadowy figure that has taken over the land. Throughout the game, players draw more than 100 unique items from robust drawing tools, such as vehicles, weapons and tools, to conquer their enemies. The all-new Action Drawing tool allows for objects to be drawn directly into the game to help navigate through several environments, including a sky world, a jungle and a shadow city. In addition, the game’s multi-player feature allows players to draw their team members and equipment to compete against others in a variety of mini-games, such as soccer, hockey and basketball. [THQ]

Overall, I love the game and its uniqueness but I think it should have been left on the DS.

The best part about this title is that if you have ever dreamed of creating something for a video game, or thought that you would have done things differently in one if given a chance, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter will fit your bill.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
Fortunately, nifty level-specific gimmicks (a tail hook, wings, ice skates, climbing claws, etc,) and the ability to draw on-the-fly interactive platforms in select parts of each stage keep things interesting, if unspectacular. [Dec 2009, p.83]
Official Nintendo Magazine UK
Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter just doesn't cut it. It's a bare-bones jumper with some interesting, if flawed, drawing mechanics that just bump it into the 'slightly above average' pile.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
It's not the Wii's LittleBigPlanet. Nor does it offer the creative freedom of Scribblenauts, but it is a fun, quality platformer that's more challenging than its cute, Klonoa-esque exterior suggests. It's too hard for young children, but everyone else should enjoy it, even disillusioned hardcore Wii owners.
Read Full Review >SpazioGames
Destined for a younger audience, may still be recommended to all those who appreciate the platform or at least to those who want to try a gaming experience "different" from the norm.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Despite its originality and charm, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a mediocre platforming game.
Read Full Review >IGN
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter has some solid platforming parts with some nice visuals and ideas, but nothing stands out in it. You can create stuff, but the Wii-mote makes everything squiggly and all over the place. The levels are colorful, but they’re too long and forgettable.
Read Full Review >Meristation
The newest Drawn to Life is nothing more than a fair game, with a bunch of new additions. The wii version's set for children, with lovely graphics and simple gameplay mechanics. Anyone will be able to enjoy the game but don't expect too much from it.
Read Full Review >N-Europe
While we were worried Planet Moon Studios couldn’t live up to the usual quality of 5th Cell, the team has put out a decent Wii platformer that anyone can admire, despite the targeted, younger demographic.
Read Full Review >Cubed3
2D games are enjoying a resurgence on Nintendo's home console this generation, and with its unique premise, Drawn to Life could have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with them. It's unfortunate, then, that the series' transition to disc has brought about new problems that have, if anything, made the basic platforming ever more apparent, and made it rely even more on the editing tools, which cannot hold the rest of the game up.
Read Full Review >PALGN
Sadly the novelty of the game quickly fades, making it painfully obvious that the core drawing mechanic isn't enough to sustain a full-length console title alone. Ultimately, the scribbly shenanigans of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter are far from picture perfect.
Read Full Review >Digital Chumps
You have to applaud Drawn to Life’s developers for at least attempting to push a unique concept. While it’s fun (initially) designing your playable character and various elements of the world around him, however, The Next Chapter’s novelty quickly fades.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
The idea of empowering user-generated art as a gameplay element is a concept that works well on the DS. However, with poor execution and clumsy controls on the Wii, you'll find more fun with a coloring book and a 64-pack of crayons than you will in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter.
Read Full Review >Multiplayer.it
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a very simple platform game, with no particular ambitions. The developers have staked everything on the idea behind the series, which is the ability for the player to draw its own character and a set of objects more or less useful within the game. The problem is that the Wii-mote is not that good at drawing.
Read Full Review >Edge Magazine
It's a shame to see what could have been. [Dec 2009, p.99]
Eurogamer
There are no glaring technical problems, or insurmountable design cock-ups, just a rather dull platformer with a central creative gimmick that's too clumsy to be liberating, poorly incorporated into the action and often bizarrely sidelined by the game's structure.
Read Full Review >Nintendojo
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a good example of a great premise wrecked by poor programming.
Read Full Review >InsideGamer.nl
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a very enjoyable game for a younger audience, but older and more experienced gamers won’t be satisfied with the simple platforming, lame controls and lack of real innovation.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
A contemptible chore. [Winter 2009, p.57]
GameShark
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for the Wii has a lot of good ideas within it, unfortunately most of them aren't executed upon well enough to warrant a recommendation.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
Dull, tedious, repetitive. Any sense of creativity seems largely wasted.
