The GameDaily One-Minute Review

In the movie Eragon, a young Dragon Rider must protect a precious egg from an evil king, but in the game based on the film, a young Dragon Rider must beat up hundreds of thugs using the same battle moves over and over again. Everything that can possibly go wrong with Vivendi Games' movie-licensed game does. The visuals are weak, staggered by a flawed and annoyingly fixed camera system. The combat becomes tedious, with very little change (if any at all) over the course of the game. In addition, Eragon features the worst unlockable items committed to a disc -- appalling developer interviews and a digital recreation of the movie poster. Not even the promise of two extra levels and co-op play can save this dragon adventure from being just a drag.
