80An excellent treat for fans of the books and soon to be fans of the film. The game covers a lot of territory while doing a great job of bringing a decent amount of challenge and thrills to the masses.
-
79The combat is very fun. Take that for what it's worth though. Fans of the book(s) will surely want to play it.
-
58It has nothing to offer that we haven't already seen in a thousand other hack-and-slash adventures. [Feb 2007, p.82]
-
Littered with occasionaly glimmers of hope, Vivendi's attempt to create a true killer-app sadly falls flat, with most of the game feeling uninspired and largely by-the-numbers.
-
In the final analysis, however entertaining the movie might be, Eragon is an experience that's better to read than it is to play.
-
The game seemed too much like a button mashing port from the console with no thought to gameplay or storyline.
-
53It's tedious beyond belief, has a plot that must have been ripped from the Eragon junior colouring book and action scenes that makes me cry. And they've gimped the dragons. [Jan 2007, p.80]
-
Eragon isn't an awful game. The problem is that what is there isn't good.
-
50Even casual gamers will breeze through this game in about five hours. You can replay levels to find all the hidden dragon eggs, but with unlockables consisting of mini-documentaries on the making of the game, replay value is very low for this title.
-
50Another weak attempt to cash in on an upcoming film, Eragon will likely disappoint fans of the book and the upcoming film.
-
46Eragon isn't worth the brief amount of time it takes to play through it. The gameplay and presentation aren't up to snuff and the storytelling cutscenes don't do their job at all.
-
44Eragon relies entirely on tedious, unenthusiastic gameplay that's way too shallow to sustain interest for more than a few minutes.
-
I'd recommend staying away from Eragon, but if you absolutely loved the book or movie and would love to swing Eragon's sword or "fly" Saphira, then, and only then, should you give Eragon a try.
-
40Eragon bored me almost to tears, and the limp plot utterly failed to keep me pushing on through the pain barrier. [Feb 2007, p.68]
-
But the problems with Eragon the game have nothing too do with the source material and everything to do with its dull and overly rigid gameplay. [Mar 2007, p.75]
-
Magic may be coursing through Eragon's veins but it's exactly what's lacking from this dreary hack'n'slash affair.
