A new Drawn to Life, but ...

How can you tell that Drawn to Life was a success? Publisher THQ is making full use of the IP, with a new licensed spinoff ... Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants. It's a Drawn to Life game, developed by a company called Altron and not 5th Cell, set in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe, featuring a story in which lazy sea creatures SpongeBob and Patrick are captured by the pencil-drawn SpongeBob clone DoodleBob. The player creates a hero in order to rescue the pair and defeat DoodleBob.We don't know what to say. We thought we'd be happy to hear about more Drawn to Life, especially one with a two-player mode, but we didn't expect this. Doesn't putting the game in an established setting kind of defeat the create-it-yourself appeal of Drawn to Life?

This is great because it would be cool to check out what other company's versions of Drawn to Life lets you do. Also, if you can have more room to draw and not draw in pixels.

Hey, that company called Altron did a damn fine remake of Elevator Action for the Game Boy Color. So save your naysaying until after the game comes out.
...Or when you check their Wikipedia article and realize they've got more misses than hits.

I personally think that sounds like a great game. Have you ever SEEN the episode with Doodlebop? It's a classic. That game will probably be sweet as hell.

Who cares if it doesn't make sense? The game will be bought by 7 year olds and clueless parents just because it has sponge bob.

Maybe they could make this game a little worthwhile.
Drawing was fun, but the platforming was so mediocre.

I don't think it defeats anything for young gamers who are also fans of the show. I can imagine that they would be quite happy to alter Mr. Pants' world themselves, even a little bit.
