Disney Excavates Spectrobes 2 Details

Disney's Spectrobes for the Nintendo DS was a rather mediocre game, but it went on to ship over a million copies worldwide. Why? Marketing, marketing, marketing. Now Disney Interactive is readying the follow up, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, and hopefully this time around they've got a bit more substance to back things up. The sequel continues the story of Rallen and Jeena, this time around investigating the origin of mysterious portals that lead to other dimensions. For the first time, players will be able to control Jeena, using her tech skills to help solve puzzles. With new dimensions come new Spectrobes, a new three-dimensional perspective, new ways to battle and excavate, and an all-new online battle system utilizing Disney's DGamer community tool. Spectrobes is a neat concept that I'd really like to see fleshed out. Looks like that's exactly what Disney Interactive is doing. More »
