It feels rude to bully a polygonal DS game like this, but Fossil Fighters is uncomfortably ugly. From tip to tail the game feels like an under-baked cash-in, poorly implementing hand-me-down ideas from Pokemon and Monster Rancher, but bereft of any depth, heart, or budget. I've only spectated Spectrobes over a friends's shoulder on the bus, but it was enough for me to know that it completely blows this out of the water.
