Wii udraw games

One drawback is that there's no head-to-head sketching because the game only accommodates one tablet — the "All Play" squares simply mean both teams guess at the same drawing.

This also means you'll have to come up with a house rule on ties, since, should both teams holler out the solution simultaneously, you're stuck having to either pick one as the correct guesser, or choose "no correct guess," which is as good as a win for the non-drawing side. The second play option, Pictionary Mania, takes the game into new places. Instead of the board's colored squares representing clue categories like "object" or "action," they assign twists to the play itself. Land on an orange square, for instance, and you're stuck drawing your clue using only the straight line tool; blue means you can't lift the stylus from the tablet and must create your sketch in a single stroke; red means you're drawing with whichever hand you don't usually use.

By far the toughest is the pink square, which means you're drawing with your eyes closed. But where Pictionary and the uDraw tablet fit together like crayons and construction paper, Dood's Big Adventure struggles to make that connection. Game-wise, Dood's is your basic side-scroller, though instead of a single coherent storyline, you're looking at four mini-games of 15 levels apiece.

The fourth game, Pen Panic, shows a little more ingenuity, since it involves using the stylus to create mid-air platforms for bouncing, requiring some fun with angles and repeated chain jumps sketched quickly with slashes on the tablet. Where Dood's Big Adventure really pulls in the uDraw's functionality is in the customizability factor: Player "Doods" are basically blank canvases just waiting to be covered in designs or caricatures or splotches, or whatever you want your Dood to look like during gameplay.

You can also customize the bad guys you'll encounter along the way, the giant floating animals in the background, and several other recurring elements in the playing field, from elevator platforms to whirling fans. You don't have to customize all these things, of course — they'll just show up as plain white during game play if you leave them alone. To be fair, this is kind of neat.

My daughter and I had fun splotching up monkeys for the backdrop and coloring a giant snake to look like Charlie Brown. Still, it's not enough to make up for the repetitive gameplay and the failure to take advantage of the tablet's unique capabilities. Overall, as a Wii accessory, the uDraw tablet itself is fun and functional, though its seventy-dollar price tag all but demands some better games to go along with it.

Seems like THQ could tap its own Drawn to Life series for inspiration, and if someone could negotiate the rights to a Scribblenauts Wii edition, I'm all in. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later. Wired: The uDraw tablet's strengths are on full display with Pictionary , a great Wii adaptation of the board game.
