Pretty disappointing, could have better. Worth the rent for Achievement Points.

User Rating: 5.3 | Eragon X360
By Datasiphon | Review Date:
It seems like the Eragon property deserves a better game than what Vivendi delivered. There are a couple of things that the developer could have changed to make this game better. The main flaw that stands out the most is the fixed camera. Not having control of the camera is pretty annoying but certain situations will come up where you have to navigate your character through some tricky situations. During some of these situations the camera perspective will "flip" causing you to fall off of the beam you were trying to walk across. Also, the graphics are sub-par for a 360 title. That being said, the in-game visuals are not as bad as the cut scenes. The cut scenes are embarrassingly bad!

It seems the like the developers tried to mix up the game play but it is still pretty mundane. The main reason I am playing through this game is for the Achievements. The achievements are fairly easy but somewhat mind-numbing to do in one sitting. I recommend that you rent this one and only if you are looking to boost your achievement score.

    To start of the game's storyline sucks and the camera angle being stuck in one spot for the entire game is rediculous. Don't even get me started on the movie. If anyone has read the books they will realize that the movie... Read Full Review
