    Skip buying your kid FIFA on 3DS this year, and give your offpsring Inazuma Eleven 3 instead. It's a novel light RPG experience, with all the compulsive collecting of a sticker album. There's also a decent football story at its core.

    If the Inazuma Eleven formula may have to change a little bit more in the next episodes, Inazuma Eleven 3 is still the best of the series, and it is definitely a must on the 3DS.

    There are just a few additions to the original NDS game, so it's aimed at those who missed it the first time. Still, it brings more Inazuma Eleven to its fans, who should be waiting for its proper return to 3DS.

    The 3DS version of Inazuma Eleven 3 is finally available in the European market. Despite of the good overall experience, the lack of new major gameplay features and the absence of the online multiplayer are enough to turn this Level 5 game into a “simply good” jrpg.

    The new things are not exactly plentiful, even if we have more than 2000 players available. The mechanics of this peculiar JRPG, although well achieved, are still very close to the previous version.
  6. Inazuma Eleven, then, retains its charm, quirks and problems. There are a few new facets, to be sure, but this is fan service at its most serviceable.

    Some people don’t like realistic football and for those persons there is the Inazuma Eleven franchise. You can play football with amazing powers and the controls are smooth and liable. The game world isn’t that good and it’s not a technical improvement when you compare it to the earlier games. You will have fun with Inazuma Eleven 3: Bomb Blast though.

    this is very similar to previous inazuma eleven titles. with improved gameplay and tweaks to make the match play more enjoyable. story is as corny and good as ever ripping it from the show. I would of given it higher than 8 if it wasn't so similar to the earlier titles but all and all still holds up well.
    the 3D is not used to its full potential as it is rarely used due to most of the game is on the bottom non 3D screen except for when you shot and skill moves in matches which is a disappointment.
    if you like the last two inazuma eleven titles get it as it is much the same with some much needed tweaks and advances
