  1. An 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.
  2. There's nothing particularly special or exciting in this game. [Jan 2007, p.81]
  3. Unless you’re a hardcore fan of the book series and film, I’d take a pass on Eragon.
  4. Sometimes it takes a true fan of the subject matter to appreciate a mediocre game. This is not one of those times.

    Reviewers just don't understand what makes us kids happy. They made all the characters cool in this game. I love it!

    The game itself is good, but the bits where the man talks with really poor graphics are not good at all. the final level is too easy, you just sit there holding R1, pressing X a lot and sometimes pressing L1. Seriously it is all you do. the egg thing is just annoying. read the book, watch the film. then play the game... i liked it but that order is needed Expand

    Graphics were good, control's were pretty backwards, and the characters took to long to react.
