THQ CREATES A VIRTUAL CANVAS WITH THE LAUNCH OF DRAWN TO
LIFE: THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR NINTENDO DS, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, Wii
Highly Successful Franchise Continues to Push the Creative
Envelope with an All-New Action Drawing Tool that Allows Players to Draw
Directly Into the Game
THQ Inc. today announced that Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter
is now available at retail outlets throughout North America exclusively for Wii
and Nintendo DS. The latest innovation in the Drawn to Life series, Drawn to
Life: The Next Chapter, takes players back to Raposa Village, which has been
inhabited by an evil shadowy figure, and players must once again draw their own
hero and create weapons and tools to conquer their enemies. The newly introduced
Action Drawing tool will allow for objects to be drawn directly into the game to
help players navigate through the environments. Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter
is rated E for everyone and is available for the suggested retail prices of
$49.99 on Wii and $29.99 on Nintendo DS.
“We are excited to bring the Drawn to Life franchise to the
Wii console for the first time,” said Randy Shoemaker, vice president, global
brand management. “Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter expands on the creative
elements seen in previous games within the series and allows players the freedom
to bring to life the characters, environments and objects they dream up. The
game demonstrates how THQ is committed to building this successful brand, which
has resonated profoundly with both the casual and core gamers.”
About Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter
In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for Wii, players will 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 will draw more than 100 unique items, such as
vehicles and weapons using robust drawing tools. The all-new Action Drawing tool
allows for objects to be drawn directly into the game to help navigate through
the environments, such as a sky world, an ice world, a jungle and a shadow city.
In addition, the game’s multi-player feature will allow players to draw their
team members and equipment to compete head to head in a variety of mini-games,
including soccer, hockey and basketball.
In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for Nintendo DS, players
will be able to draw their own heroes, be they 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 will have
the ability to morph their hero into a blob or a spider, adding more gameplay
and allowing for players to complete each level a variety of different ways. The
game’s Action Drawing Tool gives each color special properties in order to help
solve puzzles and progress through the game. Along the way, they will collect
coins and color drops to unlock a variety of content, including new levels,
weapon upgrades, customization options and hero abilities. In addition, the
game’s multi-player aspect allows players to trade heroes, weapons, items and
accessories with friends.
