Doesn't live up to the hype

User Rating: 4.8 | Eragon XBOX
By Narcissa | Review Date:
Well, let's put it this way. I certainly wouldn't buy it. The game was far too short to tell the story well, jumping over massive parts, not to mention the length being a major fault in the game. The graphics could've been better but they were ok, and the sound was fine as well. The gameplay was pretty easy and the combos easy to memorise. But it doesn't live up to the hype and I feel it missed it's mark even though it had the potential to be a good game. But all in all it felt rushed, like they wanted it out on the shelves as quick as possible (deadlines don't help of course) to pull in the cash before the holidays.

As you can tell my main problem with it is length. I'd recommend renting it and forming your own opinions.
