Eragon is an Action RPG and is definately one of my favorites. The RPG part of the game is different than your average RPG. Instead of leveling up your character you level up your weapons instead. For instance your sword starts of with a 2 weak slash combo and 1 strong slash. But by using the sword those will eventualy turn into 4 or 5 slash combos. But the game is mainly action. You have many weapons at your disposel. You have a dagger (later in the game you will get a sword then a dagger-sword combo). You also have a bow. You have a limited number of arrows but don't worry about running out. You won't use it often due to the fact you can't move and shoot at the same time. Later on during the game you will get 4 spells. These, like the sword and bow can be upgraded them by using them over and over again. The touch screen is used a lot. To use items such as herbs to heal Eragon or gems to replenish his macic you just draw the symbol. To use spells you must also draw the symbol. There are a few levels where you fly on the back of your trusty dragon Saphira. Don't get too excited. Almost all of them are flying through rings. Not fun. There is one where you must shoot Durza (antagonist of the story) and his dragon out of the sky with fireballs. Still not fun. Along with these are some bad minigames. One is where you talk with Saphira by drawing symbols. It gets faster and faster until you just can't draw that quickly. It gets pretty boring after a while. Another one includes flying a dragon from a top-down perspective and once again firing fireballs at 3 other dragons. This one is too easy and can be beat without much difficulty. Graphics are pretty average. Sometimes blocky but most of the time smooth. I can not tell you enough to buy Eragon so you will enjoy it just as I have. (sorry about spelling errors I let my nephew type it).
Man, when i first look at the cover and screens for this game i was like, "then another gay deep labyrinth game." And was i wrong. This game is really close in many aspects to the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Ti... Read Full Review
