UDraw Pictionary

It was released on November 14, 2010, for the Nintendo Wii game system. 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 learn how the tablet and stylus pen work before playing, and as how to draw, color, and sketch on the tablet. 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. UDraw Pictionary has generally received very positive reviews. When THQ previewed it at Gamescom2010, reviewers noted that its additional mode "does crazy things like limit the amount of ink you have available to draw with, rotates the image while you are drawing or makes you draw without lifting the stylus from the tablet, to name but a few. This adds a freshness to the Pictionary experience that is bound to go down well with family and friends."
