SEGA has announced that the drawing Pictionary-like game PictoImage is coming to the Nintendo DS. A fun and challenging party game, PictoImage is a pick-up-and-play puzzle game scheduled for release in August 2008.

PictoImage enables up to eight players to take turns drawing the image of a word generated from a large database while competitors race against the clock to guess the word first. Featuring eight multi-player game modes, players can compete against each other in a variety of party games.

PictoImage will also include a single-player and two-player mode where players must guess an image from a library of 300 drawings created by people of all ages. The tutorial mode teaches players how to draw a variety of different images from four main categories, Animals, Objects, Food, and Other.
