The first Drawn was the best
This was fun and entertaining but the first one was so great that the others pale in comparison. The scenary was ok but I didn't care for the books you had open to get pigs and other items...that seemed a little strange. The first drawn was so fantastic I would recommend that one instead of this one.

could be better
Guess is would be a good game if they explained more of what to do. You had to figure out how to use items where other games just did it for you. I have not liked any of these drawn games so I must be different.

A little disappointed..........
I love the series, but this game was so so very short. I finished it in like an hour or two.

Enjoy the Drawn series
One of the reasons I like these games is that they have a lighter feel to them, still a bad guy, but not so dark and depressing and you get to return things to normal. I thought the ending was a bit of a let down, but other than that I enjoy the feel of this series of games, not the same tragic, dark, totally depressing feel that is getting over played and boring.

Not nearly as good as the first two
I never thought I'd say this, but I actually miss the darker aspects of the first couple games. I mean, I like pretty scenery and all, but the storyline just seemed so pointless and fairytale-like that it lacked incentive for me to continue. It seems obvious that they ran out of ideas, as there really is no point to a story whose ending we can figure out from the beginning.
However, I did finish, and that was another problem; the game was extremely short, and I'm actually sorry I spent a credit on it. There were some fun mini-games and such sprinkled throughout, but really, everything is so linear and simple that the game felt more tedious than immersing.
This feels like it's going the same route as the Dream Chronicles series. Hopefully that won't be the case with the next one. I'd only recommend this at DD price.

Was easy to get caught up in this game!
Loved this game! We have enjoyed the Drawn series and this was quite fun! The developers of this game have great imaginations and it was easy to get caught up in the story. It's also great that you can go back and play your favorite chapters again without going through the whole game. It was a bit slow on loading but worth the wait.

You won't be challenged
This is the third in a series produced by Big Fish Studios & the graphics & artwork are, for the most part excellent but in a few places the brightness of the visuals changed & the screen looked a little like an over-exposed picture. The screens also moved a little left & right to give the impression of 3D however, if like me this made you queasy it can be turned off in the Options menu.
I really liked the voiceover, it was like listening to a fairy tale told by my grandfather & the music was subtle & melodic.
There are two modes of play; casual with sparkles & experienced without. You get an objective list but no hint button, instead if you click on the objective list you will be advised what to do next to achieve it. In addition, a little way into the game, you will receive a book which gives the story & is also interactive although it is not always logical as to what actions to perform so I ended up clicking everything.
The cursor will change a puzzle piece when you come across items of interest which you should remember as you will no doubt need to perform an action later. Some of the puzzles were fun but all in all I found this too much like a child?s story so am not tempted to buy so this review is based on an hour?s demo.
I am only recommending this game as you should give the demo a whirl & if you like it then it will pass a rainy afternoon

Third in the best games series
Another triumph for the Drawn team! The artwork and soundtrack are so hauntingly beautiful that it makes me want to weep for Iris and her family. The Drawn series is best that casual gaming has to offer, so if you haven't yet purchased these games, please do so!
Now, admittedly, this was my least favorite of the 3-game series so far. Reasons? Primarily the length--the game is super-short. I think it took me 3 hours total to finish it from start to finish, and I had purchased the CE. Also, not to detract from my rating of the game (because it is superbly fun when compared to all other games apart from Drawn 1-2), it's really hard to compete with how brilliant and inventive the first two games in the series were. So in that respect, this third game wowed me just slightly less.
Can't wait for Drawn 4...

Wonderful game
This game is sooooo good that I would actually stop playing for a while in order to make it last! It is short and sweet and left me wanting more. I loved the open book puzzles and the artwork was so creative, it really took me away. Thanks, Big Fish!

Challenging adventure game, you can tell a lot of LOVE was put into this, and it certainly shows.
