Eragon


For the guys who've already read Eragon, Christopher Paolini's much-prized fantasy novel, we've got very good news for you. A premier to the December 15 movie? Haha. Funny.

Not exactly, but if you're itching to get a glimpse of how the movie's gonna turn out, want something more interactive than a canvas screen, and would love to hear how the likes of Ed Speleers, Sienna Guillory, Garrett Hedlund and Robert Carlyle sound, then this news should put fire in your belly: Sierra Entertainment's just announced they launched the Eragon video game yesterday (That's Nov. 14) for the Xbox 360, the PSP and the PC.

This fantasy-adventure game puts you in the saddle of a Dragon Rider, and for those who haven't been keeping in touch with our collection of pics and trailers here, the game promises to be filled with swords, spells, and the winged, fire-breathing reptiles we all so love - dragons. As Vivendi Game's chief strategy and marketing officer, Cindy Cook said, "we are excited to capture the adventure and beauty of Eragon for fans worldwide and to create an interactive experience authentic to the Eragon universe in the official video game of the Twentieth Century Fox film."

Crap crap crap

After playing the demo its quite plain to see this is the worst looking 360 game released to date. It plays like a piece of crap and i cant believe game developers think they can get away with heaps like this. Seriously, give the money to charity instead of making ***** like this.

Terrible

Yep the books may be great, the movie may be average, but the game is looking like one of the worst pieces of rubbish I've hever had the dis-pleasure of playing. Poor controls, dull combat, awful graphics (some how the N64 version got ported to the 360, and took a hit in the graphics department) and terrible sound. Whats worse is that there are games like GOW out now that put it to shame even more. This game is a direct insult to gamers everywhere.

Who cares?

Who cares guys? I mean I played the demo and was so disgusted that something this trashy (it's a piece of.....) would come out for the 360! I have GoW or CoD2/3 which set bar a little bit higher each but for this game to pass my expectations to being standard I'd have to lower my bar to about SNES niveau. This is terrible I wonder how MS could let them do this it's hurting the 360's reputation.....
