The game has a few adjustments they could make it is very fun but at the same time it seems like 'been there done that'.
Spectrobes has a great game-play and all, but I felt there was no pop to it, there wasn't enough spectrobes to collect, and the story was very short, I felt like after just beating it once, I could do it in my sleep.
The Wi-Fi features was very dissatisfying, the only thing you could do was upload battle scores and download other Spectrobes and other stuff, the only way you can have any real fun is if you knew somebody that had the game, and with the rating it got there aren't many players out there.
I would give the game a thumbs up personally, but it does need some work, and hopefully in the future they will do just that.
The graphics I thought were exceptionally well for the DS, you don't find that kind of video game tech in all systems like this, they could be better over time, I felt maybe they didn't spend much time on the game engine though.
The game-play like I said was too short, you were prety much stuck to a one way path, I loved the game story line and all, but I thought it could use a bit more to it, like different ways to go that affect the outcome of the game, or just a few difficulties to choose from.
It did though take advantage of all the DS features, the touch screen was used in excavating, aswell as the microphone to blow the dust particles away, and you use the microphone to awaken your Spectrobes as well, the touch screen also let you interact with you Spectrobes, by petting them and feeding them,I think it would have been better if they let you use the touch screen as a means of battling the Krawl
Over all the game is great but I think with a few changes it could be better.
