  1. A pure slice of RPG goodness that's worth a play through whether you've read the book or not.

    Eragon isn't trying to outdo Final Fantasy, it's borrowing enough of its good ideas to put together a fairly deep and satisfying adaptation of the movie, and if you can forgive a lack of meaningful innovation, it does a pretty good job of it.
  3. Perhaps it is not the game that RPG lovers have been waiting for, but it could easily be the game that Eragon fans will embrace.
  4. Eragon doesn't do much to embellish its simplistic design, but it's a surprisingly satisfying role-playing game despite its shorcomings.

    This game is very entertaining over and over again. It is very customizable with the characters. It is worth the time and money.

    This game's alot better than some people might think. Not your typical RPG movie tie-in.
  3. This is not a bad game, the critics are very wrong on this one, but yet at points it can be a little frustrating, too easy, or it doesn't make any sense at all. Expand
