Inazuma Eleven
SCORE: 69
Inazuma
Eleven on the Nintendo 3DS is one of the strangest role playing games.
This downloadable game is based entirely on soccer. Actually an anime
that is based on soccer. How are battles fought? In turn based, or
strategy based battles? No. They are fought by playing impromptu soccer
matches everywhere.
Inazuma Eleven has the distinction of having the longest role playing
game battles I have ever played. When your player gets close to another
player and the soccer ball is involved, you are provided a couple of
choices. Pick wrong and you lose the ball, or they blow past you. Worse
case scenario they score a goal on you.
The battle system is my personal biggest issue with Inazuma Eleven.
There is a time limit on the soccer matches in Inazuma Eleven. If you do
not score, then you lose some of your points. Those prestige points are
important in doing things like healing your characters. There are other
battles like get the ball from the opponent. There are also skill
improvement spots in this 3DS game.
The anime movies in Inazuma Eleven are spectacular. As are the special
moves characters use. God hand was one of the most interesting defenses
I have ever seen - it is a huge hand that stops the ball. Of course you
can not use these all of the time - so be strategic about using them.
The characters in Inazuma Eleven are on the small side. Parts of this
hand held game felt like a retro game to me. Practicing in early areas
is very important in Inazuma Eleven. The grinding in this game can take
much longer since playing soccer matches is how leveling up is done
mainly.
If you are not into the standard role playing games then Inazuma Eleven
may be for you. If you are looking for a different kind of role playing
game experience then Inazuma Eleven may also be for you. Expect to spend
many hours working on your team to be successful. Then maybe you will
want to play other real player's teams.
