Eragon's story is based on the actual book and is now a videogame. If you have played the LOTR games you already have a feel of the atmosphere of Eragon. The cutscenes fill in those who haven't read the book but it still feels as though the makers thought you read the book before you played the game. The cutscenes also skip and lag a lot making it hard to catch some of them. The graphics are average but Eragon's combat can be very satisfying with you blasting enemies with your energy shield or smashing an orc's head in with you sword. Even in all of Eragon's combat system goodness in the end it feels very repetitive and needs more creativity. Some people may like the non-free moving camera while others may hate its guts, its pretty much up to the player. Since Eragon's main character is a dragonrider you would think he gets to ride his cool dragon a lot right? WRONG. The few missions you fly your dragon it is very enjoyable, smashing bad guys with your tail and sniping others with your magic arrows, but most of the game you are on foot with another NPC. The controls in Eragon are fairly odd with no mouse support and since it is a console port the devs pretty much want you to use a controller so they don't let you reconfigure the controls.The sound effects sound like a kindergarten class made them but hey thats what you get from a console port. Overall Eragon is just another movie to console to PC game that is highly skippable.
