4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but a few story errors, November 27, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Eragon (CD-ROM)

This is a great game, however, there are a couple story errors. The Carvahall level has a big attack, but Eragon never joined in in the battle, and it didn't happen until Eldest! The gameplay itself is very fun. The combat system is great, alowing spetacular battles without too much blood. Amazingly, the Urgle's limbs stay on, no matter what you do to it. I love that you can do the 2-player mode with just a keyboard. The only problem is that sometimes when one player goes one way and the other the other way, you will hit an invisble wall,which is very frusterating. The dragon flight levels are a bit annoying, but overall this is a great game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Use a Gamepad, November 26, 2006

The PC version of Eragon highly recommends the use of a Gamepad. Otherwise play is only by using keyboard controls. Being forced to use only the keyboard could certainly detract from one's enjoyment during game play.

It was unusually difficult to find the system requirements for the game, but I include them below for those who are interested:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

Windows® 2000/XP (Windows x64 NOT supported)
DirectX 9.0c, or higher
1.4 GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 or equivalent AMD® Athlon(tm) or faster processor
512 MB RAM or more
4 GB of free drive space, or more
NVIDIA® GeForce®, ATI® Radeon®, or equivalent DirectX® 9.0c-compliant, 128 MB 3D video card with Hardware Transform and Lighting capability and pixel shader support
Windows-compatible USB gamepad with eleven buttons and dual analog sticks (Recommended)

In the interest of full disclosure, I have not actually played this game. The ratings are based on the average ratings given to the game at other websites - typically 8/10. I do intend to purchase this game as a gift to my son.

For anyone how is interested, and who has access to a high-speed interenet connection, there is a German demo of the game. Search for the filename: eragon_demo_de.exe.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT buy Eragon on the PC!!!, November 17, 2006

This review is from: Eragon (CD-ROM)

Eragon on the pc is a direct console port! The mouse is NOT used in any way in this game. You cannot remap ANY of the controls. You are forced to use the WSAD commands and you cannot change these at all. You cannot even use the left mouse click to attack with a weapon! There is also no free look with the mouse, everything is 100% keyboard controlled. Even the menu is keyboard driven. This makes for a completely ruined pc gaming experience.
