Eragon: what once was a book, now a movie, then a game!Whenever a book-to-movie-to-game title comes out, there's bound to be mixed feelings about it. Now we have the game Eragon, based on the upcoming movie, which was based on the Christopher Paolini book. With that alone said, some of you (perhaps fans of the book, like me) might be whooping for joy at seeing this boy-meets-dragon story unfold as a game. And some of you might just be groaning your pants off, because when we posted Eragon's first trailer, ThisStinks (#7) commented that the game was "...based off of a crappy movie based off of a ripoff (and boring) book." We all have our biases, and we're all entitled to share them too.

But as for the game itself, no one can really judge until it's out, right? And maybe this new trailer will help people decide. Make sure you watch the video through to the end, to see Saphira!

The graphics are a bit iffy, considering it's for the 360. But do note that Eragon is being released across a lot of platforms! The game will also be released for the PSP, Nintendo DS, Xbox, ps2">PS2, and PC. Of course, all these platforms have different video output, so surely some versions will be suped up more on the graphics-side.

But graphics are graphics. What about the dragon? Honestly, I'm quite impressed when I saw Saphira flying through towards the end of the video. It seems like you can actually control her and fireblast, dragon-claw, and tail-whip your way through hordes of orcs and goblins... Now, that's what I call fun!

I've read the book but can't tell if it's meant to be:

a) a ripoff of other books

b) an "homage" to other books

c) inspired by other books

d) all of the above



For example, is the Hadarac Desert meant to remind us of Frank Herbert's Kwisatz Haderach from the desert planet of Dune?

"fireblast, dragon-claw, and tail-whip your way through hordes of orcs and goblins"



looks like the whole game pretty much consists of that

» Damnit! Eragon's a book! Not a game!

Ok, fine. I liked the book. In fact, I saw the book to be MUCH better than the overrated story of Harry Potter.



But now, I'm annoyed.



They let this good book go down to the level of games.



Now, I like games. They're good. But FYI, the Lord of the Rings game (except Battle for Middle Earth 1&2) were bad. In fact, a lot of movie-based games are bad.



Let's hope for the better, and hope this actually breaks the trend.



But on the other hand, I think the book is enough for me.

» should be a good game

Whoever wrote this reveiw is a ****head. "Tail whip orcs and goblins" They're Urgals dumb****. Also you said it was a boring book. It's one of my favourite books. I'm going to find you and rip your guts out. Hehehehe.
