UDraw Pictionary

Years after the first Pictionary video game was created, a new Pictionary video game came to town. It developed by Page 44 Studios and published by THQ Inc. What makes this game a lot different than the previous video game version is that the players can actually draw, using the uDraw GameTablet. It can be played on, Wii, Nintendo DS, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Gameplay
Designed as a multi-player game or party game for all ages, players can choose teams of up to four people to play. Since the uDraw GameTablet comes bundled with uDraw Studio, another art-based video game, players can familiarize themselves with how the tablet and stylus pen work before playing, as well as how to draw, color and sketch on the tablet.

To play, users roll dice by flicking the stylus pen on the tablet and advance through the spaces on the game board. Players draw clues and have their teammates guess what the picture is within the 60-second time frame. The object of the game is to be the first team to reach the last space on the board.

uDraw Pictionary includes more than 3,000 clues, with traditional Adult Clues like Object, Difficult and Action or Junior Clues like “Animal Houses” and “At the Zoo” for younger players. The game differs somewhat from classic Pictionary, as the video game has new draw modes. The normal Pictionary mode lets users play the game show-style on a 3D game board with a variety of drawing tools, brushes and colors to choose from for a livelier sketching experience. Pictionary Mania has a custom game board and seven new draw modes, including Get It Straight, Shape It Up, Rotation Frustration, One Line, Ink Limit, No Peeking and Off Hand. Free Draw lets players use the drawing tools in the uDraw GameTablet to create works of art.
