Inazuma Eleven surprises in just how well it pulls off its ambitions. It's not perfect, but darn is it fun! Even for non-soccer fans, there's a lot to like here

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.

If the phrase "soccer RPG" has you the least bit intrigued, lace up your cleats and grab your stylus — Inazuma Eleven's masterful mix of lighthearted storytelling and over-the-top soccer is fun, fresh, and surprisingly deep.

The first Inazuma Eleven game is fun and very well made, with engaging matches, good gameplay, easy player recruitment, freedom to build your team, and post-game challenges. However, random battles that appear out of nowhere can spoil the experience for some players because they are repetitive and quite punishing if you try to avoid them.

One of the most unbelievably nostalgic games of my childhood. As a fan of football and JRPG's, it is the perfect game.

The soccer and JRPG mechanics blend incredibly well together and make a fantastic hybrid for fans of both genres.

Inazuma Eleven is one of the best role-playing experiences I've had in a long time, and more importantly, rekindled a youthful feeling I've grown to miss.

One of the best (if not the best) football games ever made. This game was my childhood and deserves a way higher score than given.

This is a solid debut for the franchise in North America and, at $19.99, an easy recommendation for RPG and soccer fans alike.

Inazuma Eleven is a quirky and novel RPG, but the on-field action is too unrefined to be rewarding.

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.

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

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.

Amazing game. The story and how the exploration parts contribute to it is over the top. And the football matches and techniques are amazing as well.

A good first try at the concept but ultimately feels limited especially compared to IE2.

Infancia pura, temazos, y muuuucha nostalgia. Si fuera solo eso tendría un nueve. Jugar con el lápiz me gustaba pero si es verdad que no es muy cómodo y a la larga un poco repetitivo. Historia legendaria.
