Eragon on Xbox 360 (2006)

IanLov from Dunoon , 14/03/2007

I had this game two days and I had done everything on hard and even let my wee boy finish it on normanl.

There is no challenge in this and if your looking for easy achievement points then this game is for you.

If your looking for a game to play then turn away now this game will not offer you a challange that gamers like to have or even what you expect.

The dragon levels are disapointing in all this game dosent play anything like it should.

It's a fun game to play with a partner, fighting together with the simple but useful 2 button combo attack system. The magic is fun but only the first player can use it so you might need to alternate occaisionally.

The story tries to follow the movie but is boosted for action, which is a good thing (It's not like the movie's accurate anyway.) and overall fun with occaisional boss fights that can be tough on harder difficulties.

The acheivements are fairly simple to get, completing each level on normal and hard, plus finding the secret eggs. This can give your Gamerscore a nice boost for limited effort.

All in all a good game to play but limited in it's lifespan.

This is certainly not a next gen game. It has PS2 graphics and the most boring gameplay ever.

Also it is one of those game which seems like it took 2 seconds to make, as it is clear that no effort went in to making it.

After 20 minutes i had to remove it from my Xbox 360 in fear that it would infect it. I then took it straight back to the shop.

OK, so this isn't the prettiest game for the console, but it is certainly fun.

I loved the Lord Of The Rings titles on PS2 and found this to have a very similar feel.

The only thing that lets it down as far as I am concerned is the inability to move the camera - this is a third person game and you have no control over where to point the camera - shame, but its not enough to have stopped me playing it.

This is an easy game - great if you just want another 1000 gamer points for your profile. I completed it rather quickly, on the hardest setting. So perhaps not worth buying, but definately worth renting.

this game is not as easy as everyone says. the gameplay is good but to get the g you have to do it on medium and hard dificulty. hard is to hard and it will take you more than a week to get a good amount of gamerscore from it. its a game you should buy not rent.
