Update: March 3, 2006
«©NCSX» Sena Kobayakawa is the archetypal underdog. Scrawny and seemingly of low mien, Sena attracts the attention of three bullies known as the Hah-Hah Brothers. The thugs detect Sena's softness and exploit it like masterful leeches. With a daily harangue and a litany of abuse, the Hah-Hah boys send Sena on errands and expect him to run like Hermes. Sena's underdog stature changes slightly when he goes to Deimon High School where he meets a fanatical blonde named Yoichi Hiruma - he of the irrational gun play and a gentle giant named Ryokan Kurita. Sena is inducted into the Devil Bats Football Team and finds that the Hah-Hah Brothers' abusive ways have given him the gift of speed and dexterity, something that any football team needs in a quarterback... After shipping Eyeshield 21 games on the Playstation 2 and Nintendo DS, Konami releases a PSP version where the focus is on football themed mini-games. Not just a few mini-games but over 70 of them that all invariably involve the pigskin and all of the athletics and antics associated with the grid-iron. The Hah-Hah brothers also provide angst and comical fodder. The key to a successful season is training and players will engage in running, tackling, throwing, kicking, and passing in order to hone a team from slovenly slackers to surgically precise athletes. Five teams from the original animation are featured in the game as follows: Ohjo White Knights, Zokugaku Chameleons, Taiyo Sphinx, Seibu Wild Gunmans, and the Devil Bats.

» The whistle blows and it's game-on as teams face off on the field. When running, pressing buttons and D-pad combinations to match the cues on screen will ensure a successful run, dodge, or pass. Inaccurate button presses will result in a sack lunch. » During the mini-games, cues appear on a banner on the bottom portion of the screen and the sequence generally lasts for about 3 seconds. In one mini game, you play Deimon and have to pass footballs to Sena in the background. The exercise sounds easy except there are three cardboard cutouts of football players who move from left to right and block your passes. This document is ©NCSX 2006. All rights reserved.
