My favorite books...my least favorite movie/video game!

User Rating: 3 | Eragon X360
By FoxyNate | Review Date:
Being a tremendous lover of the Inheritance Series (The books Eragon and Eldest) I was EXTEMELY disappointed in both the movie and the video game. Of course everyone knows that movies and video games leave out quite a bit when being translated from a book, but that's not really a case with Eragon. Yes, they did leave out some of the very most important characters and happenings, but even those that are shown in the movie and video game are the total 100% opposite of what Christopher Paolini wrote. It's stupid.
Now 'bout the game itself. I hate how you have absolutely no control over the camera angles therefore it is very difficult to move around or see some of the pathways that you have to take. It makes it especially hard to find the secret eggs, but I guess that's ok. The dragon-riding is probably also the most lame part of this game, which could have definitely been made MUCH cooler; of course this whole game could be a trillion times better.
But, for those of us obsessed with gamerscore achievement points this game is worth playing for the easiest 1000 points you can get out of any game.

    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
