Summary
In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for Nintendo DS, players draw their own heroes, be it humans, animals or multi-limbed creatures, and embark on a brand new adventure aboard a Turtle Ship to defeat the evil Wilfre and restore color to the Raposa civilization. Players have the ability to morph their hero into a blob or a spider, adding more gameplay and allowing for players to play each level a variety of different ways. The game’s Action Drawing Tool gives each color special properties when drawing objects into the game to help solve puzzles and progression through the game. Along the way, they collect coins and color drops to unlock a variety of content, including challenges and quests, customization options and hero abilities. In addition, the game’s multi-player aspect allows players to trade heroes, weapons, items and accessories with friends. [THQ]

Vandal Online
This new installment of Drawn to Life has resulted in an even better title than the first game, with more options and a better game experience.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
The story and adventure has greater cohesion and continuity, which is balanced by the fact the platforming gameplay is still on the bland side.
Read Full Review >Nintendojo
Really, how great Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter happens to be kind of depends on how creative the player is. If one doesn't really feel like creating a third to a half of the game world, then the end product probably won't be that interesting.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
It's not overly difficult, so younger players might get the most of it, but the novelty of seeing your creations come to life is a treat for all ages. [Dec 2009, p.88]
Games Master UK
We like the innovation. [Dec 2009, p.86]
GameZone
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter will draw you into its immersive and colorful, kid-friendly world.
Read Full Review >ImpulseGamer
At the end of the day, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is an interesting sequel to the original game, although it seems to be lacking that oomph factor.
Read Full Review >GameShark
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter bests its predecessor in almost every way, and provides one of the best ways to flex the creative and gaming sides of your brain at the same time.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
Too similar to the first game, including the not-that-good platforming. [Winter 2009, p.67]
Digital Chumps
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a successful sequel to the original game.
Read Full Review >Da Gameboyz
While no single portion of the game is “best in class”, the sum of the parts is respectable.
Read Full Review >Gamestyle
With a rather lovely soundtrack in addition to everything else, The Next Chapter may not be as ambitious as 5th Cell's other game, Scribblenauts, but it is a nice little platformer that may get your artistic juices flowing. Just don't go expecting anything too deep and you may be pleasantly surprised.
Read Full Review >Cubed3
Sticking close to a tried and tested formula, The Next Chapter refines what the first Drawn to Life brought to the DS, yet doesn’t solve the all-too basic platforming issue, only makes it more diverse.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter isn't an awful game by any stretch, but it barely manages to get past that average mark. If it weren't for the whole hero creation aspect, there'd hardly be a game here worth mentioning, so I wish the core platforming stuff were a little more interesting than it is.
Read Full Review >IGN
Drawn to Life isn’t broken, but its ho-hum parts meant that it was incredibly rare for me to say I was having fun with a given part of the title, and that’s kind of a big part of why we play games.
Read Full Review >GameTrailers
Behind all the brush strokes and ink lines lies a rather ho-hum experience.
Read Full Review >Modojo
Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter will appeal to fans of the first game, as well as kids who love building things.
Read Full Review >Kombo
The drawings you create make the game's name ring true and brings life to the game that is mostly a story. The levels are over in the blink of an eye and feel like stop gaps for telling the story.
Read Full Review >RealGamer
As a whole it is a good package but one that will fail to appeal to older gamers.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Life
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a game with potential; a lot of potential. Unfortunately in many respects the designers seem to have been sorely lacking in the strength of their own convictions.
