Slimerific fun!

Well, at first I was rather disappointed in how simple the game seemed. After all, you're a blue slime (The most common monster in all of the DQ games), who jumps, and stretches to attack enemies.

But then the tank battles came into it. And wow did things change FAST! Not only dose the item collecting become more important, (Especially after Alchemy comes into the picture) but the importance of monster collecting comes out too.

Tank Battles themselves are the best part of the game. You can't simply reload and shoot, or you'll never win. You'll be out gunned. To win tank battles takes some work. Eventually you get an amusing group of co-pilots and the strategy part of the tank battles REALLY kicks in.

The game itself is disappointingly short, but still fun even after the game is over. With bonus battles to fight, and unlockable tanks, there is plenty to keep you busy.

One MAJOR drawback is the less then intelligent AI. Especially in tank battles. With a bit of work you can cripple some foes dead easy. Especially with a team group involved.

Overall thought, this game will keep you busy for a good 20 to 30 hours just to beat it. With all the extras (And multi-player tanks battles) you could spend far longer enjoying this game.
