Spectrobes is a new DS RPG from Buena Vista Games in which you catch various mythical creatures with special powers, train them up and send them to battle. Sound familiar?
Yes, it sound exactly like a Pokémon game but there are some nice ideas in Spectrobes. To get yourself new Spectrobes you have to carefully dig its fossil out of the ground using the stylus.
As you dig away the soil you can blow at the screen to clear away excess dirt. Then you take it to a science lab to give it life by shouting into the DS microphone.
Okay, it's clearly for young children, but we give it credit for doing something original. It also looks set to be a fairly hefty RPG, with hundreds of Spectrobes to catch.
