 Incredibly Charming June 11, 2007

This may seem strange to you, but I can summarize this review in one sentence: If you like the cover art, you'll like the game.
Here's the thing - it's charming. It's full of puns, both terrible and great, often both at the same time. The gameplay is offbeat, the characters are funny, and the game was clearly made by people who loved making it. It has a certain ... verve that almost no other game has, and if there's something about that cover art that catches you - the bright colors, the irrepressible smile on the face of the blue blob leaping out at you - then you'll probably find things in the game that you'll like in a similar fashion.
If, on other other hand, you look at the cover art and think, "Man, that looks stupid," you probably won't like the game all that much. Which is sort of a pity, because it's really quite excellent. For me, it's one of the games that gets the most time in my DS, and despite not really using the touchscreen aspect of the system (save for "customizing" some artwork), it's a perfect game to pass a little time. Charming through and through.
 Way to repetitive March 31, 2007

I'm writing this review simply because I was shocked to see this game had a 5 star review. This game is fun... at first. However, you begin to realize that the game has you doing the same thing over and over again. body slam enemies and items and throw them onto a train for stocking, or into a cannon for ammo. I played this game for about 5 days. The first day I really enjoyed It, and found it both engaging and different. By the second day I was wondering when it was going to start to get more challenging. and by the fifth day I had beaten it and was so sick of the repetitive game play that I had no interest in the tank master mode or any other replay value and returned it to the store. I think children under the age of 10 will get alot out of this game, and it might even be a good introduction to the RPG genre. Anyone looking for a game with substance will be thoroughly dissapointed.
 Surprisingly enjoyable and fun March 21, 2007

Dragon Quest is probably the most popular RPG series on the planet next to something called Final Fantasy; and with this entry for the DS, the RPG series turns out a fun and enjoyable spin-off that even those unfamiliar with the series can get some enjoyment out of. Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime finds you taking control of the little blue slime blobs that have appeared in every Dragon Quest game, and you are on a mission to save your friends before it's too late. Taking advantage of the DS' stylus and touch screen support, Rocket Slime provides a great amount of fun via the slime mechanics and use of tanks in combat. Not to mention that the game itself looks great and is popping with color and detailed animations. Longtime Dragon Quest veterans will recognize many characters, sounds, and monsters from the long running series as they progress through their quest, which clocks in at a decent enough length, but hardcore RPG fans will be disappointed at the lack of difficulty that can make your quest all the more shorter. This is Rocket Slime's most glaring flaw, but the good definitely outweighs the bad here. The battles are fun to play and watch, and the multiplayer elements are a welcome addition as well. All in all, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is a game that you can't really go wrong with if you enjoy RPG action on your DS, and longtime fans of the series will definitely enjoy this.
A must have March 8, 2007

Do you like adventure games? Get this. Do you like collecting things? Get this. Do you like Dragon Quest? Get this. Do you like cutesy monsters? Get this. Do you own a DS? Get this. This is a great little game that manages to be fun from start to finish without ever getting monotonous. It does feel a bit short, but it IS a handheld game so you can't exactly expect an 80 hour epic. This is the sort of game that makes you remember why simple is good and less is more. It's easy to pick up and play, and it's easy to get addicted to.
