    The gameplay lands with a thud on the "it's just cheap" side of the fence. [Dec 2009, p.71]

Upon opening it up the first time in years, I was given NO tutorials on the controls or what to do. You're just thrown into the gameplay and are expected to figure things out.

    There's no real plot to the game whatsoever.
    There is legitimately no direction to the game, you explore until you find the goal point.
    The Marker Man's jumps are laughable (To the point I could barely jump over an enemy without getting hurt)
    Controls are a little out of wack.
    When I drew the shapes, it just wouldn't work 70% of the time because ya had to be precise with the drawing.
    No real creativity behind the gameplay, which is a downright shame as with a drawing based game there would be limitless possibilities.
    There's NO way to attack or defeat the enemies that walk around the level, you're just a defenseless stick man...
    The game apparently had POWER UPs I had no clue about, which turns out thats what the Marker collectibles were for.
    I don't think this game even has a checkpoint system whatsoever. You die, you start over completely.
    The level design is.... meh....
    The music is relaxing but will get repetitive after a while
    The sound effects are Ok at best but otherwise are not at all impressive...

    The only person I'd recommend this game to is someone who likes art and is just looking for a game. Otherwise, save your money...    … Expand

    It's so cheap and hard. I can't even pass the first level! You have to draw shapes SO carefully that it gets annoying. The game doesn't even tell you what the shapes do! The music is generic and repetitive. Overall, it looks and feels like a two-year-old designed it.

    Horrible. Easily the worst game I've ever played. (I've never played Big Rigs.)    … Expand

    This is the worst game on the DS by far, but, it's rubbish could not be put in paragraph form, so, here's
    TOP 5 WRONG THINGS ABOUT MARKER    This is the worst game on the DS by far, but, it's rubbish could not be put in paragraph form, so, here's
    TOP 5 WRONG THINGS ABOUT MARKER MAN!
    1: The game looks like a kidnapped person drew it in a panic.
    2: The story is stupid. A guy loses his dog.
    3: The sounds are a joke. It's like they had a hyperactive 2 yr. old scream into a microphone and that's what they used for a death sound.
    4: The controls are wonky, and the game play is terrible. It's hard to even jump. You can get killed by a chubby little bunny that's half the size of you.
    5: On the box, it looks like you draw animals, but you actually draw basic shapes that anyone who passed T-K knows how to draw.
    This is by far the worst game on the DS. Luckily, I only wasted $3 on it.    … Expand
