Read the books, great! saw the film, not so great! played the game, dissapointed!
For the uninitiated, Eragon is a tale of a young farm boy who happens to discover the latest dragon egg. As time goes on he then finds that he is the newest dragon rider that has been seen in many years. However, Galbatorix (King of Alagaesia), who was once a Dragon rider himself but betrayed and murdered the other Dragon riders, is set to kill Eragon and his Dragon Saphira. Galbatorix sends his servant Durza, a powerful shade, to kill them.
Graphics: 6/10
The graphics on Eragon aren't the best around. There are last year's graphics and not mind blowing yet still ok. Some of the graphics are repeated yet on some parts of the game movie the graphics become quite good. But what the game looses on the graphics it makes it up in the gameplay.
Gameplay: 9/10
The gameplay on Eragon is quite solid. It keeps the player entertained throughout as you battle through the kings' army, urgals and razacs. On the first level of the game you learn three different combos. As you proceed through the game you learn the art of magic and then later learn new abilities of the magic. The flying levels are quite straightforward; you have to destroy something before your enemies. The flying levels are sometimes a bit of a challenge and make the game more satisfying.
Multiplayer: 7/10
Although it is enjoyable working with a friend to defeat enemies, the multiplayer mode could have been thought about more to make it a bit more exciting.
Overall: 7.5/10
Eragon is a solid game and is enjoyable throughout. It is a steady game and the multiplayer is fun between friends. The developers could have maybe worked on the graphics a bit longer before the release of the game. The sound and the gameplay are the main features of the game and make it well worth buying.
