    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst Inazuma Eleven Game. I am a huge fan of this francise, but this is the worst experience you could get.
    First: The story is the best thing about the game and it is still very bad. Maybe the worst besides the first game. And the matches in the story are so slow paced because you need to do challenges that pause match time. And it becomes very repetitive if you have to walk into a circle with Arion for the 7th time. Unlike prior games of this francise, all of Raimons players have atleast some story and backround.
    And the postgame is so damn awful. First the scouting system is absolute horrible, sometimes you have to grind several hours for one player just because you dont get an item from the 5vs5 matches. And for me the worst part is that your level doesnt really matter when playing the soccer tours. You could be level 80 and could not be able to win s rank. And I won't even begin to talk about the horrible spirits.
    So my advice would be to play Inazuma Eleven 2.    … Expand

    Bad storytelling, an unfocused plot and horrible voice acting puts Inazuma Eleven GO in a bad light. And the inclusion of Fighting spirits makes the game on the pitch seem a bit unbalanced. But there’s a real incentive for recruiting and leveling new players and discovering moves and abilities. An interesting mix of football and RPG that could have been much better if executed with a bit more flair.

    Inazuma Eleven Go, in his Light or Shadow version, reveals a good use of 3DS potential and is as one of the most relevant options in the series.

    Characters and plot are not as good as we expected, and once more there's no online multiplayer. Gameplay, on the other hand, is finely crafted, so if you're a fan, you'll probably enjoy it.
