Sega announces Pictoimage, freehand drawing game for DS

Sega has announced yet another game for the handheld which promises innovative gameplay: PictoImage a drawing-oriented puzzle game that will help you hone drawing and mental skills.

Players will be required to accurately guess an image from an extensive library of 300 drawings in the single-player and two-player modes. The fun doesn’t cease there as the pictorial game has a multi-player mode which allows up to eight players to turn-by-turn draw an image based on a word that can be the name of an animal, object, food or “Other.” Competitors also have to guess the word that describes a drawing in front of them.

There will be eight different multi-player modes and players can raise the bar for their competitors by adding their own words to the game.

PictoImage release date has not yet been announced but is expected in August 2008. It hasn’t still received a rating, either, but don’t expect any protests over a benign game like this.
