Eragon Review
12
Boy, Christopher Paolini must be living the high life right about now. The 23 year-old has already published a book that has been read by millions of people around the world and has been turned into a major motion picture starring perennial Oscar candidates Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich. Fans rejoiced when they heard that Eragon was being turned into a movie, but it was the announcement of the game that got us excited. After hearing people talk about what a great story it was, we couldn't help but look forward to the release. Unfortunately, Eragon is a major disappointment in just about every way. It's one of those games that will only appeal to the hardcore fans of the property, and even they will probably be frustrated by its repetitive, boring gameplay and subpar graphics.

About 2 minutes for me.
MGS was hoping for Viva Pinata what Paolini has going for Ergaon now: mass appeal across multiple media. Apparently, Pinata is the better game, but doesn't have the same demand as Eragon.

This doesn't bode well for the upcoming PS3 game "Lier" as some general gamers might confuse these two titles because there the same type of game. We all know it's not, but remember, people are stupid!

6 - I have the game....
And my son just beat it. He loved it. He is only 9 but...He actually played it all the way through. Every day after school and homework...he would get on it and play it for hours....I got glimpses of it here and there...he got really excited when he got to ride the dragon....It looks "OK"..but then again...I haven't played it.
P.S. I have Genji and Ninety Nine Nights....My son beat Ninety Nine nights as well...he loved that one...but he played Genji for a few minutes and turned it off. Out of the 3...I would have to say clearly Ninety Nine Nights is the better of those hack n slash games.

6.1 - Wow
It is amazing how you have to defend everything Microsoft puts out. I'm convinced that MS is paying you a mad amount of money to advertise for them.

8 - If it isn't Lucasfilm,
then the video game version will be disappointing. Games based on movies and movies based on games almost never work out.

10 - The truth is....
I enjoy video games. Even the low rated ps3 games. Its rare that I play a video game that I think sucks. It does happen...but its rare. I'm not defending MS or the game. I just explained that my son loved it and he finished it. Thats all. There are games on the ps3 that recieved ratings of 1. Gundam. And as bad as its been bashed. I play it. Its no where near as good as chromohounds for the 360.... but I have the money to spend and I don't feel bad about it in the morning. I love playing video games. ALL video games. So while people on a budget might not like some of the games I think are ok...I understand why. If I have 65 dollars to spend on a game. I want the best for my money. But I have 1000's to spend on games. So i'm not as picky. I still have opinions...but they aren't as harsh as someone who has to make a decision between this game or that game. My advice to anyone on a budget...get a 360 and take a look at the 24 editors choice games and you can't go wrong. There should be quite a few AAA titles on that list that you can find to keep you happy with your next gen gaming needs. If you only buy a ps3....the pickings are slim and Resistance is the only stand out title...and with that said...its not as good as the premier 360 shooters if shooters is what you like.
