Graphics:N/A
Art Alive as the title would imply is about you creating, painting, and doing other sorts of creative activities. Yes I can talk about minor stuff like the title screen and Interface, but for the most part it's pretty much irrelevant to talk about visuals for this game.
Sound: The Sound is pretty limited for the most part, you only have one main song playing in the background through out the title screen, it's pretty repetitive and annoying. Another problem lies with the music is that the main song will not play until you start creating, so that means if you stop drawing the music turns off and when you start drawing the music turns on.
The sound effects aren't great either when you're using a paint tool it sounds off, for example if you use a spray can it sounds like a TV having static noises.
Conclusion and rating: 5/10 It's irritating to the point were I'd probably just play the game on mute.
Addictiveness: 3/10
Now I know this sounds bogus, but the reason I rated the Addictiveness low is because I don't draw too often meaning I don't play this game to really get any replay value out of it.
Just for clarification purposes this isn't a flaw within the game it's just my preference; If you like panting or creating stuff a lot you'll probably really enjoy this game.
Story: N/A
Art Alive has no plot to it.
Depth: 9/10
The game has pretty much about everything you'd reasonably expect from it, various Paint tools, a blank canvas for you to create stuff on, an animation mode, a sticker mode, all the colors you need, and last it has a curve tool which makes this game accessible for those who want to easily create something cool.
The Depth does have one flaw and that's the fact you cannot save anything you created.
Difficulty: N/A
Like the Graphics section at the beginning of the review, it's pointless for me to talk about this section of the game.
Conclusion: It was pretty cool to come back and see where some of Today's modern programs like MS Paint and Adobe Paint originated from, but unfortunately that also means that this game is pointless to own. Even if you don't own a computer this game is easily outdone thanks to Mario Paint, I can really only recommend Art Alive if your curious about it like I was.
Overall rating 6.5
