I purchased this game and strategy guide for my husband as a Christmas gift. I purchased the Game Guide for help however now you can only purchase Brady Game Guides.
1st of all the effects and gameworld are very well done, the gameplay however leaves a lot to be desired. In multiplayer mode, 1 of you is Eragon (the lucky one) and the other starts off as his mentor. Half way through the game the mentor dies and you get a new charecter. That is nice but not when the character they give you is no where near as good or advanced as you made the 1st one.
Then other times the second player is no longer a fighter but instead acts as the dragon. Again, I thought this would be cool but the oontrols for her are very difficult and you (the second player) really feel left out.
The game only took about 12 hours on hard to complete. The book was used maybe once before we realized just how useless it is. Single player mode is no better since you still have the other charecters with you but they are slow to help and you have enough to worry about as Eragon.
If you enjoy slashing and killing then you should play it just for the joy of killing Orcs and Archerers. Your main tools are a Sword, a bow and arrows. If you are Eragon, you have limited (very limited) magic which can only be used in pre-determined areas.
Some one please bring back Prima Guides because Brady Game guides cost 25% more and give you 60% less information.

The game was great, wish the movie were more like the book, but I am sure we are not alone there. This game was too short, you could master and go throught the levels too fast, and then a game is boring.

If your a fan of the books and/or the movie then this game is for you! It follows both so well and is really fun. You get to be the characters (yes...even Saphira). Great game. I really recommend it.
