Atleast give Eragon on the ds and psp a chance because they are a tiny bit better than the console versions, especially the ds one. Although, it's still not to good, and at best a rental. There are actually quite a few good parts about it. Ign even called it sort of the elder scrolls IV of the ds which I can agree with, but like them I also believe for every good choice and part they put into the game there's a bad one. I'll list the good parts first.
-The gameplay is surprisingly good, you get sort of the lock on Zelda type gameplay with dodges and rolls and there is some nice upgradable combos that you've got. The bow parts aren't bad but you have to be locked on to hit the guys or else it doesn't work for some reason. Horrible design choice..but it's fine and dandy
-good character models and animations
-decent songs reminiscient of the movie
-lots of miniquests to sidetrack you from your main ones
-spellcasting could of been good
-nice draw distance and an open world

And now the bad.
-spells system is stupid and inaccurate when it could have been good
-it's short
-the miniquests are lame and just the same thing over again, no variety
-you always have to put the map back up
-the text is godawful and most people while they do have something to say, it's mostly just the same thing as everyone else. In Daret 90% of the people say "Sure are alot of soldiers here, I wonder why." That's ****** annoying!!!
-textures are muddy and bland
-the extra mode is the gayest thing I've ever played.
-Is there a story in this game? I didn't hear any of it, just kinda went by.
