5.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, September 29, 2006

This review is from: DRAGON QUEST(r) HEROES: ROCKET SLIME(tm) Official Strategy Guide (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames)) (Paperback)

It has been some time since I came across a really good strategy guide, and I'm glad to say that BradyGames' effort for this book is more than commendable. It does a great job in doing the essentials, which include the following:

1. Basic information on controls, overworld adventuring and tank battles;
2. Detailed Maps of all areas, which are marked by several points of interests, and link arrows to inform the reader which path to take to transverse to these areas;
3. A reasonably useful walkthrough that utilizes the points of interests on the map to describe the events to note at these points.

While the main quest of rescuing Slimes is easy to blast through without a guide, players may require some help to get 100% completion. Apart from the basic features listed above, the book also includes the following details to help achieve that goal:

1. Lists of Slimes and their locations;
2. List of Bestiary and their locations;
3. List of Alchemy Recipes and how to get them;
4. List of Items/ Ammunitions and their locations;
5. All Seeds of Life locations;
6. Side Quests Information;
7. Tank HP Upgrades Information;
8. Tank Crew/ Helpers Information;
9. Additional Tips and Tricks
10. Multiplayer Information.

To put things in a nutshell, this book has reignited my faith in official gaming guides. My only (minor) gripe is that some of the maps are a little too small, making it difficult to figure out the locations at times. Nevertheless, this is not exactly a big issue, and I'd recommend this guide whole-heartedly if you really need help in completing this game fully.

Even though I finally received this guide after I finisned Rocket slime, and figured out my personal methods of playing it, this guide is a good review and explanation of what is going on.

Yet, with a game this complex and entertaining, there are a myriad of custom strategies you can create and perfect for maximum game enjoyment. This guide brings to light all he endless possibilities there are, to make he game's repeat playability always exciting and never boring!
