User Rating: 6 | Spectrobes DS
Spectrobes for the Nintendo DS is an overall generic, unbalanced, and uncharacteristically driven simulator/RPG game. The game play has you running around lifeless environments where you must search for fossils, which then can become new Spectrobes, battle enemies, and moving forward in the lame, emotionless story. The Spectrobes are much like Pokemon where you must train them, and when at the proper level and requirements, evolve into a new form. The graphics in the game are fairly nice. Mostly everything is 3-D and it gives the game some of the little depth it has. However, you still feel that the graphics could have been a little more smoothed out. The sound isn't bad consisting of interesting sound-effects and an actually good soundtrack. All in all, Spectrobes was a total let-down with its generic and bland story and characters, almost but not quite graphics, and fairly good music and sound-effects. Pick this one up in a bargain bin if you absolutely feel you must buy it.
