    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.

    It 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.

    Even 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.

    Eragon 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.

    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.

    Eragon bored me almost to tears, and the limp plot utterly failed to keep me pushing on through the pain barrier. [Feb 2007, p.68]

    The game is from 2006 so visually it fits perfectly to the technological improvements of that time.
    The game premise is the same from the film... it is more loyal to the film than the book... in short terms is a mediocre plot.
    The cinematics are artistic visually mixing 3d with 2d with a look and fell of an old film.
    The game is not that hard and is not that long either... like 5 hrs. or so.
    The controls are awful, you can only use your keyboard to move and attack, but the determinate key are really odd placed and the worst of all... you can't modify them!!!! if you have an xbox 360 control for windows you can use that instead as it had full support for it.
    Should you check it out? well... if you don't have nothing else to play and you don't mind spend a few bucks then go for it... just don't expect a Dragon age kind experience or a Nier Automata kind of experience as well.    … Expand

    Напавшая на меня игровая лихорадка, которая обычно приходит в мае-июне каждого года, заставила меня искать во что мне поиграть со своей девушкой. Искал я что-то простецкое, отчего вспомнился "Эрагон"...
    Я сразу начну с эмоций: игра отвратительная. Чистейшее воплощение понятия "игра по лицензии", которое в десятые, а уж тем более сейчас, подзабылось.
    История в игре рассказывается обрывисто, сумбурно, она не самодостаточна в отрыве от фильма - одним словом ничего не понятно, кроме того, что этот добрый, этот злой - беги, дерись.
    Только вот бежать нормально нельзя, если играешь вдвоём. По ходу совместной игры с девушкой становилось понятно, что ко-оп здесь для галочки. Что за бред, когда я не могу нормально отходить от партнёра, почему игрока ограничивает в передвижении невидимый круг? Это убивает и без того хромую динамику. Драки же в игре - двухнопочное закликивание, ничего интересного...
    Меня хватило на пол игры. Ещё из претензий - новые способности, вносящие разнообразие в общую унылость, даются только одному игроку, другой же вынужден продолжать наслаждаться двумя кнопками.
    Покойся в забвении, Эрагон.

I have managed on occasion to get the game running but usually once I get the stupid screen that advises me that a game-pad is best - nothing! I don't use a game pad and I have a new top-range computer with2Gb DDR2 memory, an 8600 graphics card 256Mb GDDR3 ram, and this useless game doesn't work. As far as the game is concerned, the amateur programmers should look for work more in line with their abilities. I am sure there must be a number of janatorial vacancies around.… Expand
