Rated E for everybody. I first ordered the Wii uDraw Tablet w/uDraw Studio at Walmart on-line. When we tried to play the game the pen wouldn't register at all. Basically it didn't work.

I printed the on-line return slip and took it to the store near me and with no problem at all they exchanged it for another one. The new one works great and my daughter that is 11 loves it. We also got the pictionary game for it and we all had fun playing it. My other daughter that is 7 could also us it and enjoyed playing with the game. This was a x-mas present for our 9 y/o daughter. So far she really likes it. Our 2 y/o enjoys it too.

She just scribbles of course.The UDraw reminds me of the paint program on the computer. If you're free drawing and you don't have steady hand your lines may not be perfect.

I am sure with practice it will get easier. It took me a little bit of time to get used to drawing on the pad w/the pen.

The kids seemed to catch on easier.With the included UDraw Studio game you can draw on a chalkboard, canvas, paper, etc. With anything from pen, chalk, or watercolor, to crayons. If free drawing is not your thing you can pick different shapes from the stencils or color from the coloring book. There is also an option to save, print, and e-mail the pictures.I recommend this for kids of all ages who like to draw or color. After reading the other reviews I believe it varies when it comes to boredom. If your child is easily bored then maybe you should wait until the price decreases a little bit.

The price is my only con w/this product. I do think it's a little too high.This is not meant to be a professional drawing tool. It is a game and in our opinion a fun addition to the Wii.

To add variety to this game we are buying the Pictionary game and possibly Dood's Big Adventure. I am sure they will come out w/other games for the UDraw too which made this purchase worth it. I thought this product would be great for drawing and would come with more software for the PRICE! Seems so great! It is very boring and the disk that came with it would only let you draw!

No games included or nothing! You have to spend the MONEY on separate new games!

Come down on the price or include some more interactive games! Also the drawings are hard to draw because the tablet is blank. It will take lots of practice to get smooth lines.

This product is one of those games that is used the week after Christmas and is put in the cabinet and collect dust and sit until you have a good cleaning and donate it because they have came out with something better. Need's to be perfected before I will give this as a gift and come with more interactive games.

Because you plug the Wii Remote into it and put it in the slot, the uDraw tablet is powered by the Wii Remote’s batteries and is thus wireless. And because the Wii Remote is slotted in, that means the tablet can also pick up on the motion sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote. The tablet also comes with a pressure sensitive stylus that includes two more buttons ala the Nunchuck.Bundled with the uDraw GameTablet is Wii game software called the “uDraw Studio”. This is a fully featured art program with a kid-friendly feel, that allows you to make the most of your new tablet. Additional games are also in the works including “Pictionary” and “Dood’s Big Adventure” which will make use of the uDraw GameTablet.THQ has big plans for it and has already pledged continued support with new software that will make use of the uDraw GameTablet through 2013!

No word on whether or not they’ll let other studios create games that use the device, but it’s definitely an interesting concept and a great peripheral idea. I almost can’t believe no one has done it before.While Pictionary is pretty self-explanatory (draw pictures while others have to guess what you’re drawing), Dood’s Big Adventure is actually a side-scrolling action adventure game in which you use the tablet to draw and solve puzzles, etc., as well as the Wii Remote’s motion sensing tilt functions, to make it through the game.uDraw will be released in America for $70 with new games like Pictionary and Dood’s Big Adventure coming in at a budget price of $30. No dates yet, and European pricing is still to be confirmed.Here is the official trailer.

It has a pressure-sensitive stylus which allows users to draw and view their creations on screen. The tablet is motion-sensitive through either the Wii Remote or internal accelerometers, which lets users tilt and roll the tablet for various changes in gameplay.

The initial white version of the device was introduced exclusively for the Wii on November 14, 2010. Subsequently, black-colored versions for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii were released a year later on November 15, 2011. The Wii uDraw GameTablet is bundled with an art-based video game, uDraw Studio, while the uDraw GameTablet for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 comes with uDraw Studio: Instant Artist. Additional titles include uDraw Pictionary, Disney Princess: Enchanting Storybooks, Marvel Super Hero Squad: Comic Combat, The Penguins of Madagascar: Dr. Blowhole Returns – Again!, SpongeBob SquigglePants and Dood's Big Adventure.

While the initial release of the device for the Wii met with some success, THQ's expanded release of the uDraw for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 has been described as a 'disaster'. THQ's Chief Financial Officer described 1.4 million unsold units as the primary reason for a revenue shortfall of around $100 million.[1]

THQ discontinued production of the tablet in early February 2012. 'THQ has no future commitments or plans to manufacture uDraw hardware,' the company told investors. 'THQ's strategy is to focus on its premium core and fighting franchises and to expand its digital revenues.' Following the eventual collapse of THQ in December 2012, former company president Jason Rubin described the uDraw as one of the 'massive mistakes' which had led to the company's demise.[2]

Creation and development[edit]

The uDraw GameTablet was developed by THQ as a gaming accessory for the Wii. It was the first drawing device for the seventh generation consoles.

The original uDraw GameTablet has a 4 by 6-inch drawing surface on which users can create free-form drawings and artwork, as well as play games designed specifically for the uDraw GameTablet, using an attached pressure-sensitive stylus pen. The stylus also has a dualfunction seesaw button that emulates the C and Z buttons on the Wii Nunchuk. The Wii Remote docks in the Wii's uDraw GameTablet, which draws power directly from the Wii Remote’s battery. The uDraw GameTablet also takes advantage of the Wii Remote’s motion sensors and tilt movement options, allowing users to control their characters by moving and directing them throughout levels of the game.[3]

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions have a different design in comparison to the original Wii version, including horizontal stylus holders instead of the original's vertical holder, and buttons and directional pads similar to the ones found on the DualShock 3 and Xbox 360 Controllers. Likewise, the PlayStation and Xbox versions use internal accelerometers, although PlayStation-makers Sony have previously released its own motion-sensitive controller, the PlayStation Move, which is not used alongside the uDraw GameTablet. Additionally, the uDraw GameTablet for these consoles feature high definition input, with pinch-and-stretch and rotation features.[4]

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions were only produced for 4 months. THQ abandoned uDraw completely during February 2012 to focus on its core adult gaming audience and to regain a profit.

uDraw Studio Instant Artist[edit]

The uDraw GameTablet is bundled with uDraw Studio Instant Artist. Previously, the uDraw GameTablet came with uDraw Studio (developed by Pipeworks Software). Both allow users to draw, color, paint and create works of art. Players can use the available tools and features to draw, paint and color simple shapes, or experiment with different painting styles, layers and shading under three different modes of play: Art School, Art Play, and Art Camp. Art School offers interactive tutorials with Remmy, the game's 3D animated host, while Art Play allows for freestyle painting and drawing, and Art Camp offers a variety of art activities. uDraw Studio Instant Artist has art education materials to help players learn how to draw and paint.

The game comes with a library of more than 300 stamps with rotation and animation features, and various post-processing effects, including black-and-white, sepia and neon. Because of the versatility of the game, players can create any kind of art they want and get precise painting options through zooming, pinching or stretching their artwork on the tablet. Sliders and toggles adjust brush size, paint drop-off and opacity.

Features on uDraw Studio Instant Artist include:

  • Painting – Paint or draw using 19 media options, including paint splat and tilt-control painting.
  • Three modes of play – Art School, Art Play and Art Camp.
  • Art tutorials guided by 3D animated host Remmy.
  • Toolbox – Change color palettes, brushes, canvases and pens on-screen.
  • Replay – Watch the creation of art stroke-by-stroke at normal, 8x and 9x speeds.
  • Gallery – Go through previous art works or replay and augment the art already created.
  • Save and Share – Upload artwork online to save, share and print directly from the console.
  • Touch-sensitive controls – Pinch and stretch gestures with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Reception[edit]

The uDraw GameTablet hardware and video games have generally received positive reviews. In August 2010 at the announcement of uDraw, analysts predicted that uDraw could 'sell up to one million units',[7] with the potential to be a sleeper hit during the 2010 holiday season.[8] THQ also showcased uDraw at GamesCom 2010 and reviewers noted that the clean user interface and simple design 'makes it accessible to the widest audience possible'.

Joystiq said that the uDraw GameTablet's 'simple mostly-white design makes it a perfect companion for the Wii', noting that the replay function is a cool feature: 'In the hands of a capable artist, this will undoubtedly make for some mesmerizing videos.'[9]USA Today's review said that 'navigating with the stylus feels easy', and both the tablet and stylus handled coloring and stroke move well.[10]Digital Spy reviewed the new uDraw GameTablet for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3: 'the range of functionality makes it a good option for families and the casual market.'[11] In contrast, Calum Wilson Austin of The Sydney Morning Herald gave the Tablet a 3/10. 'While this peripheral might entertain children,' stated Austin, 'anyone else will be better served with a pen and a blank piece of paper.'[12]
