Positves- Colorful Graphics, Great Tank battles and lots of charecters
Negatives- Some might be turned off by the somewhat kiddy music and graphics, and areas seemed more like levels, than places, and fighting the opposition as a Slime seemed way to easy.
Gameplay- is excellent no control issues what so ever, except for the fact that you are a slime you have to bump into things and knock them on your back to carry them XD. As for the Tank Battles (which you dont recive till about the 3rd stage) they are about 50/50 chance because sometimes you can just load ammo one after another and defeat your opponent or your tank is totally destroyed and you are trying to keep your tank alive while still trying to destroy your oppnents tank. So the gameplay is excellent. It also kinda faulters in use of the touch screen...but it does make use of both screens with menus.
Graphics- Looks Great, except for the fact that it almosts looks like a GBA game...but the Tank battles do look like they are in 3-d, and when the tanks blow up it looks great to.
Sound is average at best it sounds like an old adventure game for the SNES but its not terrible, but i expected more from Square.
Value- Is great just need a little more than tank battles.
Tilt-Gets boring once you beat it but using alchmey to make the rest of the weapons and finding diffrent strategies to deafeat oppnents can be rewarding.
Overall- A great Adventure Tank Battle (sounds weird.) game that almost any gamer can get into.

The Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime series is pretty great. It might be difficult for people outside of Japan to understand, because [those of us outside the region] have sadly only seen one game localized. Only the second installment, which appeared on the Nintendo DS in 2005 in Japan and 2006 in Japan, came and showed us the joy of careening around a world as a slime, goorabbing allies and enemies. But, when placed alongside its contemporaries, it is easy to see the sense of progression and how a good thing gets even greater over the years.

The Nintendo DS had a vast library of games available for purchase, and being the second most successful console of all time a lot of its games sold a butt-load of copies. Across its vast library pretty much every genre was covered, with some new gameplay styles thrown in for good measure. Everyone and their mum, and their grandmother owned Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training, along with games like Nintendogs, various Pokémon releases and New Super Mario Bros. selling like hot cakes.
Technology Tell writes, "Sometimes it’s worth swallowing your pride and digging through a million copies of LEGO Rockband and Imagine Babyz. There be gold in them there yellow paper sleeves. You may think the idea of “DS bargain bin at GameStop” is a recipe for disappointment, but for whatever reason, a few games in the company’s “unsellable for more than five bucks” category comprises a few legitimate classics. I’ve managed to stumble upon three awesome DS games over the past few months, so who knows how many in total fit the bill"
