Having had a day or so to absorb the news (oh man, that was totally unintentional, but we're leaving it) of a SpongeBob SquarePants-themed version of Drawn to Life, we're somewhat less negative about it and more ... conflicted.Basically, we don't know if we should feel bad for the original game or happy for the license. Being based on a good game means that SpongeBob SquarePants Drawn to Life has at least an outside chance of not being terrible, which puts it immediately ahead of just about every other licensed game for kids. However, the converse is also true: being stuck with some random license may sink what was great about DTL.
Of course, there's also the separate issue of the game being passed off to another developer. We're pretty sure that doesn't bode well.

Nigeria: the graphics have amazing gameplay said...
I don't see the attraction of Spongebob. It's a sponge who acts retarded. That's not funny. My brother watches the show and he's 17. But he also smokes all day, so maybe that has tainted my viewpoint...
Anyway, I have little faith in this game. The original was a disappointment and the sequel has all the signs of a quick cash-in. I'll probably look out for the game when it hits the bargain bin.

It's very colorful and doesn't require attention span, good for five year olds and good for when you're high (if you have no taste), BAD BAD BAD for DS and Drawn to Life, which I've never played, but how can you have a game where you create the world if the world is already created as Spongebob Asshat Adventures?
