Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

I wish I could say that Square has done it again, but they almost didnt with this game. The game starts off EXTREMELY slow with the simple and boring mission of trying to find all of your lost Slime friends. At anbout the 3rd level, however, you get a massive tank with which to fight against other baddies' tanks. The addition of the "tank battles" helps out a lot and keeps the action going and is a somewhat frantic, yet controled, way to break the monotony of the "find the slimes" portion of the game. If it wasnt for the tank battles, this game would probably stink up the shelves, but Square saved their butts yet again and it should be interesting to see if they make any changes to this game if they create a sequel for it.

If you're looking for a game for the weekend, or just something to play on a road trip or airline flight, this is probably the one for you. The lasting appeal of this game is not really more than a couple of days, a week at the most, so it's a play it up and then put it up.

I gave it a 7 mostly because it is an "original" type of game play and a very good start to Square's contributions to the DS.

I liked the tank battles, finished the game in like 1 1/2 days- 2 days. The storyline was great, and the slime was funny.

I saved all Slimes. =)
