Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

This game made my childhood. Playing it again a decade later and still having a blast.

It's fun, funny, and cute, with the Dragon Quest character

I always have a soft spot for King Slime in the DQ series.

For them to make a side-story on the slime monster is just simply fantastic!! Although this game is a little easy, nevertheless I sure enjoyed the hell out of it!!

Rocket Slime is another title for the Nintendo DS that just shines on the Nintendo platform. The great gameplay, top-notch graphics (for a DS game) and impressive music makes for a great title. The easy difficulty might turn off some players but it really shouldn’t. If you can’t enjoy this game then I should question why are you even playing games? If you want to have fun with just one game for the DS right now, look no farther than Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime.

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.

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!
