    The amount of content that Level-5 offers in this game is enormous and can last you for months.

    Skip buying your kid FIFA on 3DS this year, and give your offpsring Inazuma Eleven 3 instead. It's a novel light RPG experience, with all the compulsive collecting of a sticker album. There's also a decent football story at its core.

    If the Inazuma Eleven formula may have to change a little bit more in the next episodes, Inazuma Eleven 3 is still the best of the series, and it is definitely a must on the 3DS.

    There are just a few additions to the original NDS game, so it's aimed at those who missed it the first time. Still, it brings more Inazuma Eleven to its fans, who should be waiting for its proper return to 3DS.

    Almost a straight 3DS port of the DS Japanese counterpart. Fun and lengthy, but a bit redundant.

    Inazuma Eleven 3 follows the path of its predecessors, as it delivers a good JRPG experience mixed with some football elements. Though it lacks important changes to its gameplay mechanics, it's still a good, entertaining game.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Inazuma Eleven 3 Bomb Blast has no explosions whatsoever, just fun football tournaments to take on. You can challenge the greatest teams in the world and prove to everyone who really is number one...and also fight some demons. Travel exotic islands as you explore a football paradise, as the legendary story of the Inazuma 11 comes to an end...until Inazuma 11 GO that is. Though if you want the version with the most content, I suggest you buy Team Ogre Attacks instead.… Full Review »
