Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

I don't really have much to say here. This DS game has been getting positive reviews across the board, but... what is it? An RPG? Anyone imported it yet? Thoughts?

It's deadly, like a mix of rpg/pokemon.

Basic idea is your town was attacked and all the townsfolk (slimes) are scattered through various levels.

It's not an RPG in the turn based battle sense.

All you have todo is go find them and bring them home, also you have large tank battlers versus a boss, which you use items that you've collected as your ammo (makes more sense in game).

The great thing is you can pick it up and play 5mins, or 5hrs.

It's also quite cutesy and funny, well worth buying.

No need to import, you can get more info here

I know it's on CDWOW, but it hasn't been released in Europe yet.

If it's a quick pick-up-and-play kind of game then that has me more intrigued.

CDWow are selling the US version, which means you can buy it today and it will ship, pointless waiting for Europe release dates now, when Blah and CDWow are selling imports.

Get it, you can't go wrong, it's such a good game

I posted a review on the Game Reviews forum here. Finished it a couple of nights ago. Superb game, I definitely recommend it.

Ah yes, I've been using CDWOW for DS imports for a good while now. Sure I don't think this game even has a European release date planned.
