Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime - DS

Awsome Version of Dragon Quest for The DS!!

This game has everything you can ask for action, comedy not a very dramatic game which is a plus the only down side is not very much use of the Stylus but all & all still a VERY GOOD game!!

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime - DS

WOW!

I must admit at first I thought this game would suck and be for little children, but after playing it I started to like it. The game play may be a little simplistic, but it is very addicting! The tank battles is were it gets fun though. With all of the items and crew members you can choose it is awsome! And multi player? Fun! This game ofers alot, bUt if there is a sequal(and I hope there is!) There is some stuff that could be fixed, but overal it is a good game!

Rocket Ahead

Up until last June or so, I had never heard of Rocket Slime. However, that all changed once the focus of "Slime Knights" (a Square Enix promotional team im part of) changed from "Dragon Quest 8" to "Rocket Slime". So, since then my interest in the game has peaked since learning more about it. Fortunately, despite not even owning a DS as of yet, I bought the game off someone who was ready to trade it in. I was able to use a DS off someone in order to play through the game enough to write a review though. While I havent beaten the game as of yet, i've played more then enough to give my opinion on it. Ok, the first thing that came to mind when I booted this game up was that it looked like Zelda. A Link to The Past to be exact. Only Link looked like a blue slime (Rocket), rather then a Keebler Elf in white tights. And while I did feel the gameplay different quite abit from the Nintendo classic, I think Zelda fans would do good to check this one out. From all i've played, your character Rocket can do quite abit to get him through his journey. Being a slime not restricted by bone, he has the ability to stretch his self, stun enemies by snapping into them, and lift enemies and objects. Perhaps the best aspect of RS is the tank battles. These are pretty deep, but not deep enough to scare off newbies or young kids There's various ammo types players can use for their tanks, and you also have the ability to customize your tank somewhat by using rescued allies to enhance it.The whole tank aspect of the game is something i'd like to see more of in a sequel someday. Heck, i'd love to see a RS game based entirely on it. Musicly, the game has sorta a bouncy soundtrack to it. While I didn't feel much of it was too memorable, I also didn't find any of it annoying. Best of all though, it fits the content of the game, and thats important. In the end, I would highly reccomend Rocket Slime to anyone looking for a fun, lighthearted adventure for their DS. Even if you have never played anything in the "Dragon Quest" series, you'll most likely enjoy the game. Phantasystar77

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime - DS

Simply Fun-ny

Pros: Rocket Slime is packed with humor. The game is easy to pick up and play. Its challenge feels about right. The controls are intuitive, and they function as they should. The brightly colored graphics fit with the light-hearted tone of the game. It is easy to discern the difference between items / monsters and game environment. The game includes funny sound effects. Each level has different music, and some songs play for special occasions. Jazzy music fits with the game setting. Cons: Once the game is beaten, there isn't much new to try during replays. Multi-player provides some lasting appeal, but no wi-fi creates problems. Rocket Slime has only one save file, which is something I find annoying. Comments: Rocket Slime is a spin-off title of the Dragon Quest RPG video game series. Unlike typical Dragon Quest games, Rocket Slime is an action adventure game. Length is around 20 hours.
