Product Description
Set in the peaceful kingdom of Slimenia, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is suddenly invaded by a mysterious cartel called the Plob, who then proceed to kidnap all the slimes in the capital city of Boingburg. The only slime left behind, Rocket, must embark on a journey to save his friends and uncover the Plob's nefarious plot. Each adventure stage culminates in Rocket hopping aboard a colossal slime-shaped war machine called the Schleiman Tank and battling it out with the enemy's Monster Tanks. Customize tanks by collecting a vast array of weapons and items. Call upon allies, each with their own individual personality and abilities, to aid in the heated tank battles. Even shoot your fellow slimes so they can infiltrate and sabotage the enemy's Monster Tank. Pit tanks against a friend's in exciting player vs. player action, using the Nintendo DS wireless multiplayer game feature.

 Lots of fun and a good starter game for your DS June 16, 2008
What a fun RPG this turned out to be. I recently purchased a Nintendo DS, opting for the basic kit, which comes with no game. Since I didn't want to drop full price on one of the more popular DS games, I grabbed this, as much for the price as because of the cover of the box. I didn't expect much of it, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Like I said earlier, this game is an RPG, so expect to grind a little. Leveling up your tank is the main purpose of grinding in this game, and while you'll probably have the required gold, you may not have the required items, which you'll need to collect. The only real quibble I have with this game is that items are not always plentiful, and farming them is nearly impossible because of the level design.
If you want a pick-up-and-play game, this probably isn't for you. Some of the quests may seem repetitive, and not everyone will care for that.
It took me about 17 hours to finish the main story of the game, rescuing all the inhabitants of Slimenia. I would say that I still have about 5 hours' worth of side quests to go, which represents a pretty decent value to me. Some full PC RPGs are shorter than this.
That said, this game packs a lot of variety; there are boss battles, tank battles, side quests, puzzle solving... There's nothing too difficult about it, but it presents enough of a challenge to keep your interest. While it's not as action-packed as a Zelda game, it definitely holds its own in the realm of RPGs.
I was pleasantly surprised! January 5, 2008
At first glance, this game looked really stupid. But I was surprised! This is a really fun game! Funny plot, and you don't get bored playing it. I'm 13, and I definitely thought I'd be too old for this, and I was so wrong. Highly recommended!
 Mediocre at best. October 20, 2007

I would say that this game might be fun with the under 12 crowd. But Unfortunately, I am nearly 35 years past that age. Yes, I am a gamer, but I expect to be entertained. Dragon Quest VIII was great, so I figured Rocket Slime would be fun as well. Its cute, I guess. That is about it. Very repetitive. I think I'd rather play another Pokemon game instead (So you can imagine how repetitive it must be!).
Its just not my cup of tea...I bought this one at the same time I bought Phantom Hour Glass, so at least I got one good game!.
After about 3 hours of Rocket slime...I just hung it up...I'll give it to my youngest daughter..She'll finish it in a day or two..
I got this used...but still paid over $20.00 for it...my mistake.
 Rocket Slime is the best! August 26, 2007
Rocket Slime is the best game ever! It is so awesome! You HAVE to buy it! It's all about the Plob, who come and "slime-nap" everyone except you, because they mistake you for a worm. The Plob has lots of minions. One is called a platypunk. To defeat enimies like that, you have to attack them by "Elasto Blast"ing them. You can also
battle them in tank battles with your Schleiman Tank,(as shown on th cover.) You can change your tank ammo, crew, and HP once you get to a certain point in the game.You can even do tank battles with your freinds! So buy this game today, because I guarantee endless fun!
My favorite DS game to date !!! August 7, 2007
Rocket Slime is just a joy to play. I'm a 30-something gamer and this is my favorite DS game so far. It's clever and cute and has a great, quirky little story. It's just a fun pick-up-and-play game, but be warned, it's very addictive! While the game does have some repetative elements, it has been carefully balanced so new abilities, new items and the story line keep you intrigued. The game has some very clever game mechanics too. For instance, everything you collect in the game can be used as ammo to fight your tank battles!! The items can also be combined to make even more powerful ammo. This is just a fantastic little game that every DS owner should put on their "must play" list. Experienced RPG gamers will delight in a well-made game while those new to RPG games will find a deep game in a very simple and straight forward format. FUN! FUN! FUN STUFF!
