Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

[Morridor]

I just got this game and it is really amazing! It was styled after Zelda games so it plays very nicely, but I think it's better constructed than Zelda games. To be honest with you, this is one of the best games on the DS I have played so far. It is so cute and funny, and it's just plain fun! I'm about 3/4 of the way through the game and I really want to play more!

I've done some of the mini-games and the Tank battles are simply amazing! They are so much fun to play! They are more complicated that I originally thought but still extremely enjoyable! The other minigames like the surfing one is also really fun! I really want my friends to play more so I can play against them!

Has anyone else gotten this game? It was released a week ago and I love it so much! Has anyone else thought about getting it? If you have it, how are you liking the Tank battles? Do you break every light bulb in the tanks just for fun? What's your favorite tank? Have you played multiplayer yet?

I hate the tank battles. <3

[Morridor]

That's sad. . .

Don't get me wrong, I love the game itself. The tank battles just don't have any effect on me except a 'goddammit, I don't want to do this' one.

[Necronopticous]

Dear God, this game is phenomenal.

[DJZen]

Dear god, this game was entirely too short.

[Necronopticous]

I have been playing just as steadily since I beat it. The real fun is creating an unstoppable artilery to battle your friends with. That said, I just completed my alchemy and crew lists. Working on getting the last HP upgrade, loading up on the best ammo, and getting all gold in the museum.

Hmm, this is striking my fancy.

Scale of 1-10 with pro and cons for a potential buyer?

[DJZen]

It's just a very fun game. It's also the first game in a VERY long time that got me so addicted that I couldn't put it down. I'd probably give it a 9 out of 10. Pros are good gameplay, humor, references to other Square-Enix games (especially the DQ series), pacing, 2 player head to head battles, and the fact that you play as a slime. Cons are... ummm... Well it's kinda short. That's really all I can think of.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Yeah, this seriously needed to be longer.

[Necronopticous]

Egh, you guys are nit-pickers. The length was fine for a handheld spinoff action/adventure title. Besides, it takes forever to load up with the best ammo, get all golds in the museum, and fully upgrade your tank HP. There is plenty in this game to keep you busy for well over 35-40 hours, and that's plenty.

Also, what ammo/HP/crew/crew AI do you have in your tank right now? This could be fun.

[XxSephirothxX]

I don't want to lay down the bucks for it, but I'd like to play it. Maybe when it gets cheaper. It sure looks fun.

[Necronopticous]

It's worth it. Definitely one of, if not THE, best title in the DS library.

[XxSephirothxX]

Hearing "it's like Zelda" is almost enough to make me buy it outright. But with so many great games coming out in the next month, I'll have to wait. It's a shame it doesn't support Wi-Fi.

[Necronopticous]

Anyway, since no one has posted their tank yet, I guess I'll post mine.
