PALGN writes: "For those that played and enjoyed the first Spectrobes title, you'd be pleased to note that it is a better title than its older sibling, marginally better. For the rest of us, you'll be hard pressed to find much value in Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, unless you are a complete addict for monster-collecting games - or under the age of ten.
Beyond the Portals sees the return of Rallen, the Nanario Planetary Patrol officer who curtailed an alien invasion at the end of the first Spectrobes tiltle. Obviously, the invading Krawl had other ideas, forcing Rallen and friends to stop the evil alien race all over again."
