Amazing: I've never played anything like it before.

Gameplay: Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is hard to describe. I’ve never played anything quite like it before. There are two types of gameplay in the game. The first is where you’re walking (err… sliding…) around in the levels in an almost platformer kind of way, looking for the 100 slimes that have been kidnapped. The second type of gameplay is the cannon battles, which are a total blast to play! It’s hard to describe these though, you really have to try them out for yourself. I can tell you this though: the game is a blast to play. Also, whenever you rescue a slime, he will go back to your city, so it’s cool to see how the city starts out with basically no one in it and then grows and has things such as shops and museums open up as you collect more slimes. Also, the dialogue in the game is hilarious! I couldn’t stop laughing. There’s lots of funny puns to be found in DQH, so if you’re looking for a game that’s both fun and hilarious, you definitely need to check out Dragon Quest Heroes.

Graphics: Dragon Quest Heroes is an excellent looking game. Everything is bright and colourful, which matches the mood of the game nicely. The game makes good use of the double screens as well, having a map on the second screen during the platforming sections and displaying the two tanks firing at each other during the tank battles. I really loved the look to the game, and which these graphics could probably be displayed on the GBA, the look matches the overall cheery mood of the game so much that it’s hard to consider these graphics as anything less than perfect.

Sound: I loved the music in this game! Like the graphics, the music has that cheery tone that suites a humorous game such as this nicely. The sound effects were nicely done as well. I wish there was a sound room in the game where you could listen to the music though! But even so, Dragon Quest Heroes has excellent audio.

Value: Dragon Quest Heroes isn’t exactly the longest game around. It took me about 13 hours to beat the game (and collect 100 slimes). However, even so, there’s a ton of extras to be found in this game! There’s a whole Tank League thing where you go in these Tank tournaments and try to eventually reach the highest rank possible, and there’s the museum where once you collect 30 of a type of monster you get a statue of them and they’ll join your tank crew, and you can just try to find all of the different types of ammo and recipes for ammo. All of these things are completely optional, but they’re just so much fun that you’ll most likely want to 100% the game by doing everything. Overall, Dragon Quest Heroes will keep you playing for a long time.

Tilt: Overall, Dragon Quest Heroes is like nothing I’ve ever played before. It’s an excellent game that I recommend to anyone looking for a fun game that will make you laugh. Dragon Quest Heroes was definitely better than I expected, and stands among the best DS games released so far. Dragon Quest Heroes is definitely a must-have game, and definitely shouldn’t be missed.
