Cubed3: "As much as fans will want to adore Inazuma Eleven Strikers thanks to the fantastic Nintendo DS RPGs, this football-only spin-off that ditches the unique take on the sport in favour of a more 'traditional' approach sadly misses the mark on too many occasions. Whilst moderately enjoyable in brief multiplayer bouts, the game fails to hit the mark far too often."

Inazuma Eleven’s kaleidoscopic cast of star football players collide, as LEVEL-5 perform a one-two pass in bringing the series to home console for the first time.
Its Wii debut is a notable departure from that which is usually be expected, with Inazuma Eleven Strikers choosing to hang up its role-playing boots and instead switch to fast-paced arcade-style action.

When it comes to Inazuma Eleven Strikers, don't let any references to football (soccer if you're of the North America persuasion) or the snazzy kits fool you, this isn't a football game. It's a ball game with football-style rules, infused with extravagant special moves and buckets of charm, which is guaranteed to raise an initial smile for anyone who remembers when video games were little more than silly fantasies and over-the-top action. Unfortunately for this title, that smile won't last long for grown-up gamers, though the younger target audience may get through the full match.
