Eragon is a decent action game, actually its a button masher. it doesnt play too bad. i havent seen the movie or read the books but my son has and this was for him.
anyways the makers could have done alot more with this game, especially the magic part, you are able to use magic to move rocks etc, but there is no real challenge as to finding what to use. there are no real puzzles.
and the levels that you get to ride the dragon are disappointing, controls are a little lame.
there are camera issues as well as you will get in front of a pole or wall while in a battle and the camera never adjusts, so you get to see a wall or pole...
sound is ok, the characters say the same 5 lines over and over and over.
graphics are a mixed bag, in some areas it is jaw dropping while others it is washed out and very bland..
achievements, are very easy to get, just beat the levels on hard and you get the achievement, you also have to go back and play it on normal to unlock the achievements. it is a very easy game to beat even on hard. there are also secret eggs on each level, one per level.
a very easy 1000 gamerpoints.

Not a tough game to play but repetitious. Graphics were not all that great. If it wasn't for the achievement points, which is an easy 1000 to get, I would have probably put this one down a long time ago. I found it just a button masher in close battles. I just kept pressing the two attack buttons over and over again and eventually won all the battles. Doing this, even the hard setting was easy. Though seeing the arrows stuck into the enemies was kind of cool and the magic aspect wasn't too bad, pushing enemies over cliffs and catching them on fire. If you are not into achievements points I would move on to the next game.

Repetitive, "Button Mashing"

This game is not impressive at all. The gameplay is boring. The battles are all about the 'button mashing' - just keep pressing buttons and you're sure to beat your opponent/enemy. In short, this game is a rental only. However - I'd say to rent it and make your own decision.
