Well apperently Disney came up with another anime-style video game about Battling monsters, they call it Spectrobes for the Nintendo DS, i rented it yesterday & it seems pretty good aside from the graphics, well its a good way to pass the time before DP realeses.

The Monsters or Spectrobes look like super-evovled from of our pokemon or combos of some, it even looks as if they were made by the same ppl...

They even have different froms & evovle from Kid -> Adult -> Final and each Spectrobe has it's own Signature Move.

My fave is Spikan, it is also said that they will a TCG with codes for the game for even more Spectrobes.

So if u have the game, or can even more simalarities between Spectrobes & Pokemon or Digimon post here

From what I can see....it's a cross of:
Megaman (Main person's arm, it looks like: A Cybersword)
Digi/Pokémon.
 
Agreed, disny makes movies, not games (lol, reviewer on nintendo power hand to play "Thats So Raven 2" as a punishment)

It's lame.

Disney should never made a video game again. Ever.

It's not made by Disney, they're the publishers. It's made by Jupiter the people behing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, and some Nintendo games including both Pokemon Pinball titles and a few Mario games. They've recently signed a deal with Disney to develop games for them.

And Rick how did you rent the game? It's not out until the 11th I believe.

Anyway, I've reserved the game (Stylus and Strap thingie =3 eee), it looks well done and appears to be almost nothing like Digimon or Pokemon. It's got it's own unique style, I may be inspired by games like Pokemon, Digimon, or Megaman, but it's definately it's own game not a rip-off. (Now are we going to be calling Final Fantasy a rip-off of Dragon Quest or the recent themes in Sonic a rip-off of DBZ??) One thing I've always hated about parts of the Pokemon fandom (The one I'm part of XD), (and the Digimon fandom to an extent...) is how everything is always a copy of something to a lot of people. Digimon couldn't of copied Pokemon because Digimon came first (About 5 or so months before Red and Green) I highly doubt someone from Bandai snuck over to GameFreak and started peeking in on this totally awesome game they were supposed to be making or vice versa. Digimon was just supposed to be a Tamagotchi for boys, nothing more, as the series progressed some aspects may have been inspired by Pokemon but nobody flat out took someone else's idea. Also, I believe there were even other monster battling games before either of those two even came along. All I'm trying to say to the doubters is, give Spectrobes a shot don't just call it a lousy rip-off (I can see it now, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker is going to get localized and we're going to see another thread like this... -__-;;)
 
Either way, Disney was included in the production, and excluding Kingdom Hearts One, I can't trust a single thing ever created by Disney.
(I know it's pretty Hypocritical, but I can't stand it)

At least I know that this game will never make it in sales and will be unheard of in about a year.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel!

Thay even have something called webisodes on their official website. They mostly suck... The facial expressions and movements were exaturated and made the animation look cheap. It's pretty, but looks like it was forced somehow. Like all there was in their mind making the game and the webisodes was that "We have to do this digi/poke type ewesome game and the kids are gonna love it!!!"

Pokemon is pop. Anime/manga is pop = Lets make something with bots aspects and make money out of it :/
 
I can't speak for everyone, but I personally think Spectrobes is the worst game to ever come out of the monster genre. Several reasons why:

1: The graphics are absolutly hidious. There are some DS games out there that make 3D models look good, but this just looks so unpleasant to the eyes it isn't funny, honestly.

2: Battles are completly linear and are both confusing and cheap. You command your monsters to attack via the trigger buttons, and, unless I missed something with controls beyond this, they only attack in the set direction you're facing. You can't control your beasts whatsoever aside to simply tell them to attack. No lock on, no nothing. But you can also do this cheap special attack when, if you power up your special bar, you can unleash a special attack. Its cheap because you can simply run around, dodge enemies, charge up the attack and unleash and keep repeating until you win. No strategy to it whatsoever.

3: Online play is absolutly dissapointing. Not only do you have to unlock the online modes, but you download stuff via download points. You start off with 30, and you gain 10 more every friday. But you have to connect online on that specific friday to get your points. Otherwise, you're screwed because there's no other way to receive more points. I honestly see no point with the download points thing, aside that it's really stupid and annoying.

4: The monsters range from decent looking, to weird to absolute rip off (Yellow tiger that looks a LOT like a tiger form of Renamon in Digimon).

In other words, the game had so much potential to succeed, but it failed so miserably in the end.
 
I completly agree, the mad such a publicity party but in the end it was all a waste, also i hav an inside thing, the character designer is the same one as Digimon,or so i've been told.
