    While the story's stock sci-fi-RPG material and the combat system could use a bit more polish, Spectrobes is a great choice for those looking for a little no-commitment, light RPG action, or for bored Pokéfans still waiting for Platinum.

    Disney's new Pokémon-wannabe is a very rich and complex experience, but absolutely not as streamlined as it should be: it could steal your time like the best games in the genre, but maybe its intricacies are too much to endure.

    Nevertheless, the sequel is a superior experience to its predecessor and the amount of content that can be found in-game across the decently-sized single player campaign is impressive-- hours upon hours can be poured into just excavating or just battling.

    Vast improvement over the last game. My only real gripe is the camera and the fact that Rallen and the Spectrobes keep sliding when you control them. Other than that, this is truly an excellent game. Great graphics, great gameplay, great fun!… Expand

    Solid, lots of features, lots of collection. Story is kind of annoying, but im not really a story person, it feels like naruto in a pokemon world but in space. But gameplay is alright, could of used more work to make it more exciting. definitely an improvement from the 1st. lots of new ways to dig up spectrobes. Multiplayer was'nt what i was hoping it would be, it int like the in game battles, more like taking turn to see who can do something better. A cool new feature is that you can sell your spectrobes wirelessly for gure, but the store is filled with spectrobes that people thought would be funny and sell it for the max amount. I'd recommend it for someone that is looking for a new breed of monster collection games.… Expand
