While the plot and culture of the game feels fairly generic, Drawn to Life for the Nintendo DS has some pretty steamy elements in the artwork. Many of the buildings look a little like they were cobbled together by mad scientists, there's some random gears in the platform landcscapes, the mayor wears a monogoggle, and another major character wears goggles. When you're in village mode, the clock display is a pocket watch. You also get to customize many aspects by drawing with the stylus, like the hero, the hero's guns (which fires snowballs, acorns, or starfish, depending on which world you're in), some of the landscape elements in the platform parts of the game, etc.
I picked it up since it was in the low-end price range and the concept of getting to draw the hero sounded fun. ^o^ It was fun and cute. Not the most amazing game I've ever played, but enjoyable enough. The reviews I've read of the game were a little harder on the game than I am, but then again I'm only a casual gamer and I prefer cute, quirky games most of the time.
I will say one thing though; the drawing feature is a tiny bit difficult to use! It's like MS Paint, but with less features, if you can imagine that. Also, it had a tendency to colour two pixels at once for me even though I'd be trying to colour just one, but that could just be my stylus or me.
