    Inazuma Eleven is by no means a perfect game; I can't see any reason why it had to be touch screen controlled, nor is there any excuse for why the soccer action itself is so poor. But, as a sport-themed JRPG, it's a niche kind of game, but an entertaining one.

    Fans of sports games or RPGs may hate the game and its weird control system, whilst those who are away from both genres may find something different and satisfying. Those who endure the first three hours and get used to the controls will find a long campaign, with up to 20 hours of gameplay. When you get there, though, you will be tired of that much soccer and of the absurd that will carry you until the final match.

    It's a full-fledged RPG at a bargain price, with plenty of footie fun for casual and hardcore RPG fans alike.

    I have real issues with the soccer-RPG mechanics, but once you get over the initial hump, it smoothes out a little bit.

    While it's been a monumental pleasure to finally be able to play Inazuma Eleven in North America, the game reeks of missed potential.

    For any fans of those old RPGs, this should be a fun throwback for you. For kids, it’ll be a fun introduction to the genre. For everybody else… what the hell, it’s still a fun way to waste some time.

    Inazuma Eleven has not aged very well and with the latest installment (Team Ogre Attacks!) hitting stores right now there's really no reason to dig into the most bastic iteration in the franchise, unless you are an avid Inazuma Eleven fan.

Inazuma Eleven offers fairly simple gameplay with a large cast of characters and tons of special moves to teach characters that make sure the game never gets old. While it can be a little too easy at times and the story isn't fantastic the gameplay is very entertaining and its soundtrack is a joy to listen to. Inazuma Eleven is a very underrated DS and 3DS title, that I pray gets a sequel on the Switch.
