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!!

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!

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

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.

The town of Boinsburg is under attack! Giant metal balls are destroying the buildings and every slime except for Rocket has been captured in treasure chests. The Plob has taken over Slimenia and is trying to get rid of slimes all together. How can you save your slimey friends? As Rocket, you go around Slimenia looking for the treasure chests that contain your slime friends. Then you pick them up and throw the on the TranSlimenian Railway to send them back to town. The main point of this game is to repopulate Boinsburg (the Slime's town) with your slime friends as well as collecting as many objects and monsters as you can. Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime has so many different things to do in the game that It's gameplay is just amazing. It was based off of Zelda games, so it is a little simplistic and easy to pick up and learn; however, that's what makes the gameplay so much fun. There's the normal attack which is called Elasto Blast, but as you go through the game, you realize exactly how much you can do with just this one attack. Because of the Elasto Blast, you can put things on top of your head to carry. There is an extremely large number of items and monsters you can put on your head and what makes the game even better is that some objects do different things when you throw them off you head. The heavy weights shake the ground and flip some monsters over; Chimera Wings fly objects or monsters back to town. However, will all of that just by putting things on your head, there are also Tank Battles you have to play! These are quite fast paced and very fun. You use objects that you have collected as ammo to shoot at the enemy tank. Not only that, but you can shoot yourself, your friends, or your enemies out of the tank as well. You can infiltrate the enemy tank and destroy their computers. This is one of the best parts of the game. The tank battles provide a lot of fun as well as a good challenge. You can customize your ammo and upgrade your tank and you can play the tank battles as much as you want until you are satisfied. You also get items for replaying tank battles so that you still get rewarded! Tank battles can be quite challenging and whereas it's rather difficult to actually die, the tank battles actually are hard to win. The difficulty of the puzzles in the game are somewhat easy as well but they do make you think about what you're doing. The soundtrack to the game is very fun. There are tracks that will give you nostalgia to the older Dragon Quest games, but there are new tracks that you love to listen to play for hours. There is one track that is a little weird because of the vocal noises that are played in it, but it fits the situation that it plays in. The music adds to the enjoyment of the game as well as the immersion into the Dragon Quest world. The storyline is rather simplistic, but it's the simplicity that makes the game amazing. Even though the storyline is basically rebuilding the town, there are conflicts and different situations that add more depth than you would think out of such a cute game like this. Overall, this game is very addictive just because you want to collect everything. I actually got stuck playing this game for 4 hours straight before I realized that I had homework to finish. Even then, I didn't to put it down. There are great little references in the game to pop culture and other video games. One of the tanks that is a tree is named "Chrono Twigger." The small little Easter Eggs like this just make you smile. This game is filled with comedy and it's overall a very enjoyable game. This is a treasure that might be buried in the DS line-up and it's much better a game than it comes off as. It lives up to the hype it had and the high reviews don't lie. This game will make you addicted to it where you'll want to play it every chance you get. I never played my DS on the train before until I got this game. I just couldn't go that long without playing it!

This game is a must own for anybody who either owns a DS or is a fan of Dragon Quest. I would have to say that this game has a lot going for it. It has colorful graphics, a great soundtrack, and very tight controls. However the downfalls are that this game is very short especially if you just follow the main story line, and the difficulty is toned way down. This however is a game where these two aspects don't hurt it too much. This is a fun game to play no matter who you are or how old you are. This game is one that should not be missed.

After the huge success of Dragon Quest VIII in North America, audiences get to be treated to something fairly different. While nothing like the main series, being a spinoff and all, this game still provides an exiting adventure, and is just what some have been waiting for on the Nintendo DS! Meet Rocket, he's a slime. That's right, a slime. This game stars slimes (and other fiends from Dragon Quest!). They live in their own little world, peacefully and happily. As expected, all of the characters are filled with a lot of character, which is one of the things that makes Rocket Slime so appealing! Just about each character has come to life through some of the best localization in years! The cute creatures and their home island are brimming with life! The gameplay is fairly standard. Rocket Slime does not feature much touch screen use (aside from some really engrossing minigames!). The gameplay is fairly standard and you will be able to do just about everything with the A button. While difficult to explain, you can pick up enemies (and allies) with the A button as well. There are also puzzles and the sort. This simply gameplay can get extremely addicitng, but what's more stunning is the tank battles! Eventually you and your enemies will roll into their tanks and have a free for all. This is when the game gets exiting as there is action flying all over the place. The game gets fun, crazy, and all out whacky! There is also a lot of customization for RPG Enthusiasts, such as ammo, tank, and character options. The graphics, while only a step above GBA graphics, look great. (Especially on the DS Lite! Note to everyone: GET A DS LITE!!!) The world of the slimes is brilliantly created. Animations are also whacky and fun. The sound is fair as well, tunes are happy and fun, suiting this game's overall theme. Rocket Slime is at best, simply put, fun. While the game takes only a dozen or so hours to complete, those who want everything will be spending MUCH MUCH longer. This game is perfect for kids, those looking for a fun DS game, RPG enthusiasts, Square Enix Fans, or Dragon Quest Fanatics. GET ROCKET SLIME NOW!!

After a few hours of playing this game I am very happy to have bought Rocket Slime. The game has some old school elements that Dragon Quest fans will pick up on right away along with some new things as well that new fans will enjoy. The game play is cute and very entertaining as you control one of Dragon Quests most famous monsters, a slime. The slimes name is Rocket and it is his job to save 100 of his townspeople who are also slimes from the Plob. The Plob is a mafia type group run by Don Clawleone. The control of the game is fresh and entertaining and takes only a few minutes to get acquainted with the basic controls of Rocket. Rocket is able to pick up objects to throw them, smash into them, and also float around. Rocket can also unlock and explore a cute little world filled with creatures. Another really fun aspect to the game is the Tank battles. These battles are very entertaining as you take your tank, The Schlieman Tank and battle various members of the Plob on your quest to save your fellow slimes. You use ammo that you collected from dungeons and such and control Rocket while shooting 2 cannons at your enemy. The tank battles also use items you have found and or created in the game using alchemy to combine items into more powerful items. The tank battles also have a fun multiplayer option to battle your friends and their own tanks. The graphics in Rocket Slime are not pushing the envelope for DS capabilities but and great none the less. This game is perfectly suited for the DS and I could not imagine this game being capable on any other system. Sound/music in Rocket slime is very cute and upbeat. Fans of the series will notice little chimes and sounds from previous DQ games. The sound does a good job in playing on the feel of the moment and is the type of music that you will catch yourself humming though out the day! Overall the game is very entertaining and a great addition to the Dragon Quest series. You meet lots of cute characters, the story is filled with a little bit of humor and subtle clich�s, and the look of the game is a welcome addition on the DS. If you are a fan of the Dragon Quest series, Zelda (Yes I did say Zelda) or just looking for a great little adventure game you owe it to yourself to pick this game up! On a score from 1 to 10 on this game, this game gets a solid 9.0.
