| − | Compared to the [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter|DS version]], this version of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter received mainly mixed reviews from critics. The main criticism stemmed from the questionable optimization of the Wiimote's pointer for [[Draw Mode (Wii)|Draw Mode]], with other notable complaints being aimed at the gameplay and story, which critics considered not as well-developed as previous titles. As for praise, critics sung theirs over to the visual style, variety of Draw Mode tools and gameplay mechanics such as the level-specific gimmicks and [[Action Drawing]]. According to Metacritic, the aggregated score averaged out at a total of 58/100<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/drawn-to-life-the-next-chapter/critic-reviews/?platform=wii Metacritic, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]</ref>, making it the third lowest-rated game in the series.

| − | ===Sales===
| |
| − | Sales numbers of the game are rather obscure, but according to THQ's fiscal year report, the game sold over 1 million copies<ref>[https://last10k.com/sec-filings/thqi/0001047469-10-005774.htm THQ Fiscal Annual Report, March 2010]</ref>. However, with the Wii counterpart selling more units than the DS version and the versions not specified, it is speculated that the units of both are combined.
