    Whilst this 3DS release is nothing more than a port of a DS game from Japan, its charm and addictive gameplay cannot be argued against, with the intriguing storyline and smart Touch Screen tactical football battles making this RPG-with-a-twist one to definitely check out.

    The final Inazuma Eleven with Mark Evans in the lead, manages to close out the series in style. The soccer matches remain a lot of fun to play, with the story as the main driving force. Newcomers will promptly be scared off by the story though, because it requires them to know previous installments.

    Inazuma Eleven 3 The Ogre is basically the same good game that we already played months ago, but now with some cinematic extra that will satisfy the Football RPG enthusiasts.

    As fun as the previous chapters of this third iteration of Inazuma Eleven for 3DS. Tactical and very deep soccer experience.

    As good as the other Inazuma Eleven 3 episodes, there are not too many reasons to play this one, unless you missed the aforementioned episodes.

    This chapter has the biggest point of interest in its narrative, but hardly justifies an acquisition for those of have already played Inazuma Eleven 3.

    The game doesn't really show innovation, but still is a entertaining title. Especially due to the fact that you can play everything in 3D this time does a lot.

    If you're really interested in the saga, you'll probably want to give this a try, but, on the other hand, gameplay and graphics haven't received any upgrade at all. If you've already played Inazuma Eleven 3, there are practically no reasons to be interested in this edition.

    Team Ogre Attacks is another competent and fairly appealing title in the not-so-common style of sports RPGs, this time in a game adapted from an animation movie. Nevertheless, its new content is not groundbreaking enough to the point of justifying its purchase, at least for those who already own another version of Inazuma Eleven 3.

    The 3DS version of Inazuma Eleven 3 is finally available in the European market. Despite of the good overall experience, the lack of new major gameplay features and the absence of the online multiplayer are enough to turn this Level 5 game into a “simply good” jrpg.

    The way Inazuma Eleven 3 has been published in Europe makes no sense whatsoever and ultimately sinks a good entry in a franchise which is really starting to get old.

    Always full of humor and still fun to play, this new Inazuma Eleven is not so new, except in its story. Only the biggest fans and the newcomers should buy it.

    The story may be a bit too much, and the gameplay beats can be a touch clumsy to begin with, but Inazuma Eleven 3: Team Ogre Attacks is a mighty entertaining sports RPG that – just like its lead Mark Evans – has a big heart, and an infectious enthusiasm for what it is.

    It may be worth picking up if you never played the previous ones, but you will have to deal with the problems of an Inazuma Eleven game from a bygone era.

    Inazuma Eleven 3 : Team Ogre Attacks wouldn't have been so unsurprising if it had been released in September with the two other versions. Now, we can only stress the lack of new features of this third game, which gives us the very same gameplay than Bomb Blast and Lightning Bolt. For the biggest fans only.

    For those that purchased Inazuma Eleven 3 last year, there's little reason to buy this; there's too much overlap and a lack of any real progression. Level-5 keeps piling on more of the same content, when creativity is required.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Inazuma Eleven Team Ogre Attacks, is an excellent threequel. It's got a ton of great extra content for team customization and plenty of unique teams to take on. It's possibly the best game in the series. Strangely though, the mascots of Team Ogre are the weakest part of the experience. The adventure to conquer the world stage with the best players in Japan is really entertaining, but these bonus villains add next to nothing to the formula.

    This game represents some of the greatest moments of Inazuma Eleven's level design. The opposing teams in the international tournament use the most powerful moves from the last game just to show off. The dungeons that lead up to the stadiums in the Football Islands. The ability to return to Alius HQ to take on an unlockable Chaos match. A string of fun and shocking plot twists in the story. Mark Evans weeping for the first time after reuniting with his thought to be deceased grandfather. What the game does right is phenomenal.

    Though being used to promote the first Inazuma Eleven movie is its weakest trait. All these new cutscenes they added to the deluxe version that teaser Team Ogre's appearance just feel pointless looking back. They're a constant reminder that glorifying your new villains doesn't automatically make them more interesting. The main problem with these movie villains is that their purpose for erasing football makes little sense.

    They want to erase football from history because they think it makes people weak...and that's it. That's all the backstory we get and astonishingly reminding us that fact doesn't make them more intimidating. It's a real shame since all these players have really cool designs. Level-5 would eventually learn how to pair there games correctly with their movies with films like Ultimate Bonds Gryphon and their crossover with Little Battlers Experience with villains that use football as a weapon or fear it as a means to inspire war.

    So if you're looking for a good football anime game that also ties in with an entertaining film I suggest you play Inazuma Eleven GO or Chrono Stones. I rather recommend this game to players who are looking for the best of classic Inazuma Eleven all in one package.    … Full Review »
