Fourteen hours later and the credits roll on the adventure that was Dragon
Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime. The game is a comic lighthearted romp of a kid's
game. The graphics are great. They are brightly colored and cleanly drawn in a
way fitting of the Dragon Quest world. The controls work flawlessly, as they
should with the game only ever using a couple buttons. The sound and music are
both befitting the Dragon Quest name. There are a fair amount of new tracks
mixed in with the classic Dragon Quest fanfare as well as select tracks from
Dragon Quest VIII. The story is minimal at best. I don't think I've ever seen a
game with more puns. In fact that's pretty much all you get as far as story
goes. Just joke after joke in pun form. And more than a few references to Dragon Quest VIII. It's all about the action and
exploration and very mild puzzles. And of course, the real star of the show, the
tank battles. I enjoyed the game for what it is. Enjoy the lighthearted fun of
it all as a kid again. Just don't expect much more beyond that. I'm giving
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime for the Nintendo DS an 8.
