#Inazuma eleven games plus#
Inazuma Eleven is, after all, first and foremost and all crazy supernatural and superpower happenings aside, a game about a soccer team, so it is a major plus that the controls for playing soccer are fluid and intuitive. An entourage of students then march out like soldiers as they dribble their soccer balls (and if that isn’t the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard, that’s OK because the game throws a lot more at you later) as a red carpet rolls across the field before the Royal Academy soccer team itself finally appears.Īs amazing as the presentation in Inazuma Eleven is, the game plays just as well. Royal Academy’s arrival, for example, is emphasized with a fully animated cutscene where a literal battle cruiser, surrounded by ominous purple fog and housing the team, trudges into view. However, the game doesn’t just rely on sprites holding sometimes-voiced conversations to build character and atmosphere. One even quits in the middle of the game. For example, you have to find characters to join your team, and drag one out of a locker. Inazuma Eleven does a good job in taking time to build up the suspense and illustrating both the main character and his team’s trepidation at taking on these elites. I remember that I was pretty intimidated at first. It didn’t help matters that they hadn’t practiced in forever or that their opponent would be the reigning National champions, Royal Academy.
The situation becomes so dire that unless the team wins their next match, they will be disbanded. His team, unfortunately, is not quite as passionate. Mark Evans is a boy with a passion for soccer.
What I appreciate about Inazuma Eleven is that, despite all of the fantastical events happening around the students, the story still focuses on the main conflict. That’s why, when the Nintendo 3DS game went quite suddenly from the classic tale about a boy and his soccer team striving for the Nationals to a superpower death match with a soccer ball caught between two opposing teams, I wasn’t taken by surprise. That is to say, I never actually saw the anime, but I’d heard about it from a friend who was a die-hard fan, so I knew a little about what it was all about. My first exposure to Inazuma Eleven was the anime.
