GameSpot TGS 2008: Inazuma Eleven 2 Hands-On

GameSpot writes: "One of the two playable Level 5 games at this year’s Tokyo Game Show is Inazuma Eleven 2. It seems to be another soccer role-playing game that takes place at a school. The last game must have done well because it was just released this past summer and they’re already working on the next. Level 5 seems to be fairly random with its games, but Inazuma Eleven 2 appears to be a fun RPG aimed at kids and those who liked the first game. We started a game from the beginning and were introduced to a fresh-faced young boy who was itching to play some soccer.

The opening anime cut scene gave us a good look at what some young boys do in their spare time–play on their Nintendo DS, play cards and not getting enough exercise. We see another boy walk into the room with a soccer ball and try to convince his friends to play with him. The others didn’t seem to want to move a muscle, so he leaves the room, looking a little rejected. Since our young athlete doesn’t want to join in on the more laid-back hobbies, we took him outside to check out the surroundings."
