  • Abstract:  All in all, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals is a sub-par attempt at a Pokemon clone. It may be a hit to its target audience, but the overall experience just did not seem to measure up. Although it did have some nice online features, Spectrobes is one o...

  • Abstract:  Beyond the Portals’ bright and gorgeous 3D environments make for a great visual experience. Each planet you visit is back-dropped by one of three planetary themes including jungle, ice and desert. The planets are detailed with many features native to e...

  • Abstract:  It’s Pokémon…in 3D…in space! Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals is like a modern cell phone. It tries to do way too many things at once, and it’s never sure what the primary function is. Spectrobes tries to be a fetch-quester, a Pokémon clone, a Tamagotch...

  • Abstract:  Even if you were a particularly lucky child, you were probably stuck with just a handful of games to play each year growing up. Regardless of their quality, you sucked the games dry in order to drain as much entertainment from them as possible until th...

  • Abstract:  One of the other great new improvements to this game was of course the doubled number of spectrobes but also the edition of dark spectrobes. These spectrobes are just like normal except there fossils are a dark purple color and the actual spectrob...

  • Abstract:  First things first: Spectrobes is not Pokémon, so banish the thought from your head. Outside of the "capture a creature and raise it to fight" element, Spectrobes differs from Nintendo's venerable collect-a-thon RPG quite a bit (although the game's use...

  • Abstract:  Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals is a pretty substantial improvement over its predecessor, offering a great 3D aesthetic, fast-paced combat, an interesting fossil digging mechanic, and fun multiplayer elements.

  • Abstract:  When the original Spectrobes came along, I was worried that it would be little more than a Pokémon clone. My fears were largely unfounded, but the game suffered from enough problems to be a disappointment for me regardless. Spectrobes returns with a se...

  Published: 2008-10-07, review by: destructoid.com

  • Abstract:  Last year's Spectrobes was a marked success: Disney shipped over 700,000 copies of the game, and it was the highest-selling third-party game for March 2007. Not bad for Disney's first original IP, developed by the then-unknown Jupiter (their earmark ...
