    Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones has a nimble story and an adorable set of characters. It may not be the most revolutionary RPG ever made, but if you are a fan of soccer (and anime), you are all in for a real treat.

    This new entry lives up to our expectations, takes one step further from what we saw on the first GO and introduces very nice new features. We still don't have online matches, though.

    Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Wildfire and Thunderflash are really great games, but they aren't for newcomers in the slightest. The game expects you to have played the previous entries and that you know what happened to the various characters.

    This is probably the episode we've enjoyed the most. If you're a fan of the franchise, Inazuma Eleven GO: Chrono Stones: Wildfire and Thunderflash are safe bets.

    Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Tuono e Fiamma has nothing more than the previous chapters of the popular series for the Nintendo 3DS, but its story is good enough to support more matches with the same, old, mechanics. If you love this franchise, you’ll find all you need to have fun with your Nintendo console.

    Ignore the terrible story and turn off the voices, Inazuma Eleven GO: Chrono Stones Thunderflash is a decent title that’s worth your time.

    Inazuma Eleven Go: Chrono Stones is absolutely over the top even for the series crazy standards, but the formula is wearing out its welcome.

    Inazuma Eleven Go Chrono Stones will entertain all the fans of the series and of Japanese role playing games, even if it will do so thanks to a tried and true formula that keeps repeating itself since some time now.

    The peculiar mix of roleplaying and soccer is back. Despite loosing some of the appeal of the first chapters, it will still please the fans.

    By bringing in a new cast with Inazuma Eleven GO, Level-5 gave the series a much needed freshness, with Chrono Stones carrying on well despite its slow start.

    Chrono Stone will likely delight and enthral Inazuma fans, particularly with the new additions to the in-match gameplay, alongside its crazy plot, and the returning characters. However, some of the changes are not necessarily for the better, making parts of the game seem too easy, and the plot makes some traditional elements of Inazuma such as random encounters seem out of place.

    This episode is more surrealistic than ever, but such paranormal phenomenons boost the gameplay, while time travels expand the scope of this universe, and alleviate the linearity of the story. So let's kick the future!

    The gameplay mechanics of Inazuma Eleven GO: Chrono Stones remain attractive but its new content could have been better implemented. The plot line becomes confusing as well and there are better ways to explore the additional contents of this chapter.

This game is awesome. Although the first IEGO wasn's too good, this one fixes most of the problems. This game is the refinment of the saga. It takes the best of all the previous games and mixes in one. It's incredible how it mixes football with RPG in such a good way.
    The story of this game is spectacular, useful enough to always be interested on the game, with good amazing villains and partners. You can go trough time and visit the very best places in the saga.
    Also there are many new mechanics that make the game even better.
    And IEGOCS lasts hundreds of hours (around 80 main, 200 extras and 500 full game) without getting boring, and obtaining new players, technics...
    Inazuma Eleven GO Crhono Stones is the best Inazuma Eleven game since IE2, one of the best games of Level-5 and one of the best games in 3DS.
    Just amazing.    … Full Review »

You can change the view of the top screen using the L and R. you can have two other characters walking/running behind you too. when you run into a soccer battle, you play with the first five players listed in your team which can be changed.

Más allá del gran gameplay que posee el juego, sin lugar a dudas la historia es bastante buena, llevándote por diferentes épocas en las cuales te sientes muy inmerso, por no hablar de algún que otro plot twist que ocurre al final del juego. Por si no fuera poco, tiene una banda sonora expectacular, con la cual te sientes muy inmerso en las épocas y situaciones. Muy recomendado, tanto como para fans de la saga como para gente ajena a esta.… Full Review »
