My ten-year-old son loves this game! He played it on another Nintendo DS machine whose owner highly recommended it, and he just had to have it for himself. It kept his interest and he was challenged as he moved through the levels. He particularly loves the Tank Battles.

My favorite DS game to date !!!

Rocket Slime is just a joy to play. I'm a 30-something gamer and this is my favorite DS game so far. It's clever and cute and has a great, quirky little story. It's just a fun pick-up-and-play game, but be warned, it's very addictive! While the game does have some repetative elements, it has been carefully balanced so new abilities, new items and the story line keep you intrigued. The game has some very clever game mechanics too. For instance, everything you collect in the game can be used as ammo to fight your tank battles!! The items can also be combined to make even more powerful ammo. This is just a fantastic little game that every DS owner should put on their "must play" list. Experienced RPG gamers will delight in a well-made game while those new to RPG games will find a deep game in a very simple and straight forward format. FUN! FUN! FUN STUFF!

I was pleasantly surprised!

At first glance, this game looked really stupid. But I was surprised! This is a really fun game! Funny plot, and you don't get bored playing it. I'm 13, and I definitely thought I'd be too old for this, and I was so wrong. Highly recommended!

Lots of fun and a good starter game for your DS

What a fun RPG this turned out to be. I recently purchased a Nintendo DS, opting for the basic kit, which comes with no game. Since I didn't want to drop full price on one of the more popular DS games, I grabbed this, as much for the price as because of the cover of the box. I didn't expect much of it, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Like I said earlier, this game is an RPG, so expect to grind a little. Leveling up your tank is the main purpose of grinding in this game, and while you'll probably have the required gold, you may not have the required items, which you'll need to collect. The only real quibble I have with this game is that items are not always plentiful, and farming them is nearly impossible because of the level design.

If you want a pick-up-and-play game, this probably isn't for you. Some of the quests may seem repetitive, and not everyone will care for that.

It took me about 17 hours to finish the main story of the game, rescuing all the inhabitants of Slimenia. I would say that I still have about 5 hours' worth of side quests to go, which represents a pretty decent value to me. Some full PC RPGs are shorter than this.

That said, this game packs a lot of variety; there are boss battles, tank battles, side quests, puzzle solving... There's nothing too difficult about it, but it presents enough of a challenge to keep your interest. While it's not as action-packed as a Zelda game, it definitely holds its own in the realm of RPGs.

Disappointed Old Timer

I'm definitely not the target audience at 34 years old. I did like the idea of real-time 'combat'/movement. I enjoyed Zelda Phantom Hourglass, but could not get into this one. I played about 6 hours of gameplay...enough to go through several parts of the story and fight my a tank battle. I realize that others enjoy this game, but unfortunately I could not get into it.

I enjoy the old Dragon Quest games along with the Final Fantasy games. If you like those, then you might be interested in Dragon Quest Monsters:Joker

I'm still looking for a good 'real-time combat' game other than Zelda. Something in the form of the old Secret of Mana games! (I've tried the newer ones :( )
