This is one of the most polished and graphically stunning games to grace the DS. The touch-based gameplay feels much like its xbox counterpart, which is impressive to say the least. Most importantly the game is fun without the frustration that I&#039;ve come to associate with Ninja Gaiden and any other game Tomonobu Itagaki directs. I consider this game to be something like the God of War of the DS: fast-paced (but well-paced.), amazing to look at, and worth replaying the instant you finish.</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>

<br/>Good things about the game:
<br/>
<br/>cool ninpo attacks
<br/>innovative combat system that is really really easy to learn
<br/>get to switch handhelds weapon which keeps things fresh
<br/>boss battles are intense
<br/>
<br/>Bad things about this game:
<br/>
<br/>Graphics remind me of a harry potter game on a gameboy
<br/>No ability to buy different swords
<br/>some bad camera angles when fighting bosses
<br/>once you learn attacks nothing else you can learn should put some really good attacks like disappearing and appearing again walking on walls and then slamming them down and backstab icon should appear when you go behind an enemy press it and they&#039;ll od a rouge like backstab awesomeness haha</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>

The control system is nearly flawless and the attacks you&#039;ll be completing on screen feel very satisfying when mixed with the sound of the slash. This game easily would have been a must buy and a 10 on the DS... if there was just more to it. Paying $35 for a game you beat in 6 hours is not my idea of fun, no matter how great it looks. Also, while the combat does feel very satisfying the whole game through, it also feels very lacking in depth. In fact, if the game were any longer, you&#039;d probably just grow tired of it. This is definitely one of those games where you&#039;ll just want to go in with a few friends and take turns playing it. If you get 3 friends to join you, you can all still beat it in one day!</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>

And It looks like Ninja Gaiden. But once you really get your teeth into it, it doesn&#039;t leave quite the same taste in your mouth as the real deal. This time around, the adventure is structured in a much less cohesive fashion, the enemies provide almost no resistance individually, and the puzzles are so obvious it&#039;s almost insulting. But worst of all, the combat system completely lacks the subtle nuances and depth of the original, making the whole affair a long-winded, repetitive hack and slash like so many others. While this is a decent game on its own merits, I&#039;d advise sticking to the various versions of the original, and completely avoid Dragon Sword, until Ninja Gaiden 2 is released.</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>

The game is set in the kingdom of Slimenia, a peaceful land that is suddenly invaded by a mysterious cartel called "the Plob," who then proceed to kidnap all the slimes in the capital city of Boingburg. Our protagonist, Rocket, is the only slime left behind, and must embark on a journey throughout Slimenia to save his friends and uncover the Plob's nefarious plot. The adventure stages consist of our hero bouncing and stretching, as well as carrying various objects on his head, while solving the mysteries behind each area, and rescuing his captured slime friends along the way. Simple, streamlined controls allow players of all ages and skill levels to take part in the action with ease. 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.

                                Delightfully charming and downright heartwarming, it's hard not to fall in love with Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime. The gameplay is simple yet addictive, and the varying strategies of the Monster Tank battles keep things from feeling stale, something that’s highlighted through the title’s multiplayer mode.

It uses the a button to the extreme, but is really easy to learn. The a button does the electro blast, jumps, floats, and is the main button to this game. You play as rocket a slime that is trying to find his 100 friends that the plob took from your village. After you play for a little bit you can throw slimes or items on a cart and those will go back to town. The items that you throw on a cart is used for the tank battles. The tank battles are the heart of the game and are real easy to do. You throw any thing in you cannon and hopes it hits the other tank before he throws some items in his. All on all this is one dragon quest game that no fan should be without.</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>

I'm not even capping. This random dq spinoff is the best game ever made. It's genuinely better that all the other triple a "best game ever" games. This isn't an opinion either, it's straight up a fact. The story is nothing to write home about (and neither is the music for the most part) but the gameplay is so good you'll have to wonder why you even play any other games in the first place. From exploring the over world to looting anything you can get your squishy blue body on is the most fun a video game can be. And then, just when you think it's over, they manage to make the game even better in the form of the kaiju tank battles. This game is the most fun you will have in your life. I genuinely like it better than some other actual good games I've played. If you dare even SUGGEST that dragon quest heroes rocket slime isn't a timeless classic whilst being a modern masterpiece, I will hurt you. I will shatter you like a pane of glass and run you over with the aforementioned kaiju tank. If this game isn't the best game you've ever played, I'll eat the sd card I have it stored on. It hurts me to think of all the people who'll go their entire life without playing the only good video game. I can't believe people are too busy playing league of legends and among us and other cringe games to realize that true fun hase been so close for so long. It's a ds game, so you can play it on literally anything now. You have no excuse. If I don't see a sudden resurgence in this ds game from 2009, I'm going to eat a table.</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>

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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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.</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>

A Link to The Past to be exact. Only Link looked like a blue slime (Rocket), rather then a Keebler Elf in white tights. And while I did feel the gameplay different quite abit from the Nintendo classic, I think Zelda fans would do good to check this one out. From all i&#039;ve played, your character Rocket can do quite abit to get him through his journey. Being a slime not restricted by bone, he has the ability to stretch his self, stun enemies by snapping into them, and lift enemies and objects. Perhaps the best aspect of RS is the tank battles. These are pretty deep, but not deep enough to scare off newbies or young kids There&#039;s various ammo types players can use for their tanks, and you also have the ability to customize your tank somewhat by using rescued allies to enhance it.The whole tank aspect of the game is something I&#039;d like to see more of in a sequel someday. Heck, i&#039;d love to see a RS game based entirely on it. Musicly, the game has sorta a bouncy soundtrack to it. While I didn&#039;t feel much of it was too memorable, I also didn&#039;t find any of it annoying. Best of all though, it fits the content of the game, and thats important. In the end, I would highly reccomend Rocket Slime to anyone looking for a fun, lighthearted adventure for their DS. Even if you have never played anything in the "Dragon Quest" series, you&#039;ll most likely enjoy the game.</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>
