Inazuma Eleven 2 Message Board

A portion of a C3 review...

Inazuma Eleven 2: FireStorm / Blizzard is a wonderful follow-up to what was already a fantastic concept, expertly blending an intriguing RPG adventure with some highly skilful touch-screen football fun. With plenty of new features, a deeper story, stacks of objectives to complete and extras to unlock, as well as four-player matches, anyone that even marginally enjoyed the first title should pick this up without hesitation.

Level-5's fab football RPG franchise, Inazuma Eleven, could be headed to the United States if a recent trademark is any indication.

Level-5's booth is one of the most popular attractions at Tokyo Game Show. It was our first stop this morning when the expo floor opened, and still we waited in line for at least 30 minutes -- a line that completely surrounded the ginormous booth. The line ended at a small theater lounge, in which we sat down to watch the Ni no Kuni, Professor Layton and the Devil's Flute, and ROID trailers we had just seen from the line. Finally, we were ushered into a game demo area, and then handed the requisite swag bag.

Enjoy the exciting conclusion in the video above!
