i think it's a good game but it just doesn't seem "cared for" very much. like in mario games you can literally SEE the care that people put into the game they made, i just don't see it here
i played it for a while and enjoyed it a lot, the gameplay it a little like Tales games only it isn't as fluid but you can partially control your monster on the field
but luck would have it that another game came out around the time i got Spectrobes so i completely forgot about it
with all that said, it FIVE DOLLARS lol, get it! :D
