From the creation of potions to the combo attacks, Eragon offers a surprising amount of depth that will please any RPG fan.

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

This is one game that was a joy to play and review even though my kids where constantly bugging me to play it themselves. I guess that shows how well liked Eragon for the GBA is for many age groups.

The combat and attribute systems aren't revolutionary, but they're far more developed than one might expect from a licensed movie title. The story is engaging and the quests are enjoyable.

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.

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.

Eragon doesn't do much to embellish its simplistic design, but it's a surprisingly satisfying role-playing game despite its shorcomings.

Eragon for the GBA is a surprise for me because it kept reminding me of RPGs from the 16-Bit era. This isn’t another cookie-cutter licensed game; instead the game offers a deep, albeit flawed, gameplay experience.

Eragon is an experience better read than played!

Worth Playing
At the very least, Eragon is tolerable, bug-free, and does not try to stuff the console versions into the tiny, low-power package of the GBA, thereby producing a distinct experience by licensed game standards.

Armchair Empire
Eragon does a good job of trying to emulate a classic style of game, and at times, it almost succeeds. But even at its best, it’s no more than a clone, which is coincidentally, the same issue with the Eragon novel.

There isn't anything here that I don't remember seeing several years ago. The background could have come from any of a hundred different games and the character are pretty blurry.
