Sega Picto image announced

A quick-fire drawing based game is set to be released this August from Sega.

Called PictoImage, players are under pressure to draw images on a special screen which are based on words generated by the game.

Up to eight players can take turns being the one who pens the image while the other participants try and guess what the image is.

For those who do not feel they have an artistic edge Sega has said drawing quickly is more important than drawing well.

"You don’t need to be good at drawing, just use the stylus to help get the correct answer in the least amount of time," said Sega.

Additional features are included such as Take the Picture Pass mode which involves an image being copied from player to player until the last one has to figure out what the original drawing was.

A further mode is available for one or two players in which they guess images drawn from those already stored in the games memory.

Players who would like to improve their drawing skills have the option of taking a tutorial which is integrated into the game.
