 Not bad for a casual gamer. Sep 15, 2009
By Joe B. Holloway
Okay, so this will be my first review for the wii. That said let's get to it. I always rate like most other rating systems, on graphics, sound, game play, replay value, and I add a little bit of a suggestion for those who might be interested in this game.
Graphics: Not much special here about the graphics, but they aren't bad either. The different planets you end up visiting are very well designed and look great. The cut scenes are very nicely done. Graphics I would give a 4 out of 5. Not superb but good.
Sound: Not much to say for sound really, it's your standard repeat of music tracks. Its downfall is the constant sounds from the wiimote that come from sending the child forms of the spectrobes to search an area for items. It's a constant "go" and then a noise from the creature that in some cases can be annoying. Also I might add that some of the child forms make a constant noise while just following you around. Sound gets 3 out of 5 due to its instances of annoying repetitive sounds.
Game play: This section is where the game ups it's score for me. There are many aspects to this game though simple, can be a lot of fun. One of my favorite is the excavation system. This is the part of the game where you have to remove the fossils encased in a cube of rock. It uses the wiimote to its potential and can be quite fun in anticipation of what might be in your cube of rock. The creature designs in this game are also very unique and each one has its own unique abilities. The game play is easy for anyone to pick up and can be challenging at the same time, although it does not require any quick thinking. The puzzles in this game are not all that difficult to figure out, but still retain some level of problem solving. Its two main downfalls are that sometimes you will find yourself having to back track to change out your search team, and some features in the game will leave you confused if you have not played any previous games, or like I had to look online to figure out their purpose. Game play I give a 4.5 out of 5 fun and entertaining with some minor annoyances.
Replay Value: Not much to say here as the game is very linear and it is only good for one go around, maybe two if you're feeling bored enough. Replay Value Gets a 2.5 out of 5.
My overall score for this game is 4 out of 5. It is an enjoyable and at times a very entertaining game with some minor flaws. Where this game does pull through is that you don't have to understand or have even played the nerdy card game that this is a spinoff from to enjoy this game. It can also suit to any age group from 5 to 99. It is very mild on the fantasy violence, as well as dialogue. My suggestion is to wait a few months for this one to hit the bargain bins and then purchase it unless you are a hard core spectrobes fan. In that case go out right now and buy it today and sleep with it under your pillow tonight, because you will be a happy nerd.

 extremely fun Aug 15, 2011

It's hack and slash but the animals that help you fight are really cute and the gameplay style is very different and fun!
Surprisingly entertaining Jan 10, 2012
By T. Maddox
I really wasn't expecting much with this game but found myself drawn right in. Overall the pace is good and not overly repetitious beyond having to get from one place to another (portals, anyone?). The storyline is solid. Controls were fine except for a minor gripe about the ability to scroll through your helper monkeys (figuratively speaking) in the midst of a fight. The idea of grooming your helpers for future battles was nice and entertaining. I admire the work the developers put into creating unique characters at each stage of development.
Decent game for the price. Nov 30, 2011

Fairly simply game. My son loves playing it and the sword action. Just a little repetitive but to a 9yo that doesn't matter.
awesome...yet difficult Jun 14, 2011
graphics are superb for me considering all the other games i own have not greta graphics but still good, gameplay is well -enhanced especially with the spectrobes' super attacks i liek the use of the crads, in the first 2 for the ds the cards were also used in a wayt hat i like yet all the spectrobes from that are lvl 1, and in spectrobes they are for child 1, for adult 10, and for evolved 30. sound quality on ym tv we put it on 20 when paying on a wii, so i give sound 5/5. some difficulties as in the bosses are hard to beat, finding certain spectrobes is hard as well, and also leveling up older spectrobes. but either way this game is great!
