Just another based on the movie failure.

"Fulfill the destiny of the legendary Dragon Rider." At least that's the way it was advertised. To read the package, it really sets your hopes up: " Fight alongside or astride your dragon ally… or take wing as saphira to scorch and destroy the forces of the evil Galbatorix. Overcome foes with a deep combat system, featuring grapples, combos and devastating magic attacks." Sound good? No matter how good it sounds, put it back on the shelf and save your money for a good game.

Eragon is just another marketeering game of what was actually a good movie. Unfortunately, rarely do you find a game that lives up to its movie namesake. This game was a total failure. Even though it played through without crashing, the game play was poor and jumpy; the characters were hard to control and battles were repetitious. Both the character and environment graphics were poor. The actual game play was so monotonous that the storyline was just lost. Watch the movie and leave the game alone; you'll have a much more enjoyable experience.
