Inazuma Eleven preview at Cubed3.

"Back in September, Level 5 offered visitors of the Tokyo Games Show a special treat in the form of a little demo version of its forthcoming RPG for DS ‘Inazuma Eleven’. Now, with the release of the Professor Layton DS sequel in Japan, that demonstration version is no longer as sought after as it once was, since it has been released to the masses via the option screen of Layton and the Devil’s Box. Having picked up the latest Japanese effort, Cubed³ decided to give the demo a whirl to see what can be expected from this highly anticipated RPG-with-a-twist."

Inazuma Eleven hands-on at Game Life.

"Level 5 is not messing around with this "soccer RPG." While this might seem like a strange genre, Inazuma Eleven actually follows in the footsteps of several earlier soccer-adventure series like Captain Tsubasa, which take the emphasis off of real-time soccer action and put it on dramatic cinematic scenes with your players' special moves, which you select from a menu."

Inazuma Eleven preview at 1-up.

"You are Mamoru Endo, the captain of the high school soccer team, whose highschool is in the brink of being closed down due to lack of team members. One day, a new student shows up in school -- the legendary striker Shuya Gouenji. At the same time, a rival school has requested a match with the team. Together with Mamoru and Shuya, you will need to find and gather the remaining team members in order to kick off the match.

According to the developers Level 5, the concept of Inazuma Eleven derives from the golden formula for handheld games: collecting, growing, trading and competing. Similar to handheld games in the past such as Pokemon, Dragon Quest Monsters or Animal Crossing except this time, it's a soccer-based RPG. Other than the main story mode, players can also compete against each other over wireless. Although much of the details haven't been disclosed yet, we hope to see most of the set features that follows previous handheld games of the past. The game will also feature animated cut-scenes produced by OLM, who are also responsible for the production of the Pokemon anime. Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I) lends his talents as the music composer of the game."
