New Review Posted: Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

[Daniel Weissenberger]

Brad Gallaway reviews Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, and finds it to be a refreshing example of old-school gamology:

"As a critic, I’m frequently faced with a dilemma—when is it all right to view something as a product, and when should something be critiqued as an experience? How should I rate something that aims only to be a finely polished romp without any intention of pushing boundaries or exploring new territory? Although my true love of videogames comes from projects which are different, unusual, or experimental, I also have my pragmatic side."

I liked the first paragraph - it was a nice tip of the hat to some of the more heated discussions in the forums of late.

Heh, thanks.

Hope you found the rest of the piece all right. ; )

I concur! It's a good review since it gets to the point about the experience of the game: charming, Zelda-like, addictive and not too challenging.

Brad's right, buy it with confidence. You'll have fun.
