Drawn to Life brings your own hero to the game

Your IT - Entertainment

THQ announce a cool new title for the Nintendo DS, Drawn to Life allows players to draw their own in game hero.  For Aussie school kids THQ are also giving the opportunity to win a year of DS games.

A platform game, where the important element is the creativity of the player.  In Drawn to Life players must wield a palette of 25 colours, eraser, brushes and more to rescue the party and muffin loving Raposa from the evil Wilfre.

During the game players must create tools for the Hero to use in getting around the game world – these range from wings to vehicles to simply platform elements within the game structure.

In a lot of ways, the level of graphics will be only limited by player imagination and creativity.  It looks like a fun way to combine art and video games.

THQ are promoting a Drawn to Life competition for Australian school children – win the competition and not only can you win a Nintendo DS for each of your class mates, but you can snaffle a DS lite, a copy of Drawn to Life and one game each month for a year.

10 runners up will receive a AU$200 art pack for their school.

Head on over to www.drawntolife.com.au , enter the competition by whipping up a masterful Hero.
