From the prospecting to fighting, to the huge game world begging for exploration, tons of secrets and hidden features, Spectrobes offers an incredible amount of gameplay.

Not Pokemon. In fact the very reverse of Pokemon - fixing that which was broken and breaking that which was fixed. D'oh! [Apr 2007, p.67]

Parece mentira que hayan pasado 12 años desde que le robé dinero a mi madre para ir a comprar el juego... era un crio y afortunadamente no lo volví a hacer. El juego es bueno. No, no es un 10 pero recuerdo disfrutar esto tanto o mas que un pokemon. Mecanicas, monstruos y una jugabilidad increible. Desenterrar fosiles, resucitarlos y entrenarlos para que evoluciones... el sueño humero de un niño de 12 años. A nivel tecnico muy potente para la epoca y divertido de jugar.

Spectrobes has much to offer. The world is big and full of surprises and the battles are spectacular. But sometimes all of these ideas seem too much and the focus gets lost. Interesting game, especially for Pokemon fans.

While the archeology and character-building elements are major successes, the game ultimately flounders on its extreme lack of challenge and derivative story-telling.

Spectrobes takes too long to get going – the digging is a novelty that wears off way too soon – and the lack of puzzles and/or interesting side plots and quests kneecap the experience.

This isn’t the first time an RPG has had trouble with the challenge of team combat in real time, and to its credit, Spectrobes comes up with an unusual way of attacking the problem.

The character designs aren't on "Pokemon's" level, but the effort you devote to finding and raising these characters creates a level of attachment even Nintendo hasn't quite achieved.

While filled with numerous, excellent ideas, the mish-mash handling of the development destroyed the potential.

Spectrobes has the elements to make a good game, but not everything came together in a harmonious enough way. It has an interesting story, a likeable enough cast, and enough collectible monsters for players to get. But the actual combat, which takes up a massive chunk of the game, it very clunky. As an initial proof of concept, Spectrobes is fine, and would only get better over time with new entries. The first game was really rough, though.
