    Inazuma Eleven 2 tweaks the gameplay structure of the previous entry for the better with a couple of new mechanics to deepen the strategic action and more intuitive, quicker methods for player scouting. Nevertheless, these new additions are not meaningful enough to succesfully free the campaign from the same old issues: level design, when relevant, is scarce and tedious, and while matches are very fun for the first few hours, their extreme simplicity makes for an overall tremendously repetitive experience, worsened by an excessive presence of RNG within the mechanics. The story, like the previous installment, is severely formulaic and corny with cheap, childish drama, but the sheer amount of characters and plot lines can be greatly entertaining and the whole experience remains distinctly charming thanks to its cheesy, fantastically exaggerated portrayal of football and earnest spirit of camaraderie.

    Inazuma Eleven 2: FireStorm / Blizzard is a wonderful follow-up to what was already a fantastic concept, expertly blending an intriguing RPG adventure with some highly skilful touch-screen football fun.

    That a role playing game with soccer action can be given this much depth, charm and variation isn't new for fans of the series. Part 2 doesn't offer anything new, but remains interesting for hours on end thanks to hundreds of new moves to learn and a fun story.

    The enormous amount of recycling makes it difficult to enjoy and recommend this game over its predecessor, and that game should be available for cheap by now.
