Eragon is a game that was a nice throw back to old school Hack and slash games with some cool magic effects

I did this reveiw solely based on the poor review it got. My family and I loved this game. The graphics are very nice overall and I loved how we could just hack and slash our way thru the levels. The story is told well enough that I was intrigued enough to get the book and am looking forward to the movie.

For my self it fit a needed hole of a game I could play with my younger kids and just have pure fun with. I thought the controls were intuitive and my 5 year old has no problem even pulling off the various magic effects.

If there is a down side, it's that you do sometimes lose your character in whats going on due to the camera angle and at times can find it difficult to figure out where to go next.

Overall I really enjoy the game.
