You can also build your entire team from scratch. New players can be scouted from any team you defeat - but it'll take a hefty sum of Inazuma Points and a pitch-perfect eye to shape a team of champions.

Each of the over 150 characters from the series has their own specific strengths - and as you pit players together they will grow bonds that improve certain skills even further. Respect the power of team play and you will even be able to pull of powerful Co-op Moves! As you win more matches, you will be able to unleash ever more impressive Special Moves to stop your opponent in his tracks or go straight for the goal yourself; with the level and element of two opposing moves deciding who comes out victorious!

Inazuma Eleven Strikers offers plenty of challenge for solo players and even more fun for up to four friends in local multiplayer! Whether you work together as a team or challenge each other in 2 vs. 2 or 1 vs. 3, in single matches or fully-fledged tournaments - it's your call! a second player can even take on different supporting roles by acting as a Coach or a Manager.

From managing your team in the Club Room to discovering the delights of special training minigames - there's loads more to discover, so stay tuned for updates!

Following the offering of the Inazuma Eleven RPG games on Nintendo DS (review of the first game here), this arcade-style action title for Wii promises to bring Inazuma Eleven fever to the big screen like never before!
