A brill battle system vs a load of boring convos. It's only a slim victory for the former. [Dec 2013, p.69]
The only time the game takes advantage of the 3DS features is in the social aspects: with a couple of SpotPass, StreetPass and 3DS link options available, the game slightly redeems its lazy porting.
Summary Mark Evans, footballing hero, has risen to the top in Japan by winning the Football Frontier Tournament and then saving his country from crisis, but now… he’s about to take on the world.
