Post Description
Eragon is a third-person video game released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Microsoft Windows, developed by Stormfront Studios. Also released are unique versions of Eragon for the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, and mobile phone handheld gaming systems, primarily developed by Amaze Entertainment.[2]
The game is based upon the Eragon film, which is in turn based on the book Eragon, by Christopher Paolini. The games were released on November 14, 2006 in the United States of America, on November 24, 2006 in the European Union[3] and on November 23, 2006 in Australia[4] in order to coincide with the release of the film. In the game the player takes on the role of the main protagonist from the book and film, Eragon, and occasionally controls his dragon Saphira.
The game was generally received poorly by critics, usually receiving press averages around the 4-6 out of 10 region (or the equivalent).[5][6] The combined sales in North America were over 400,000 copies.[7]
The majority of the game is taken up by third-person combat, usually on foot. At the start of the game the player can use four "combo" attacks. Additionally, they can use four basic magic attacks: magic push/pull (Thrysta Vindr), magic shield (Skölir), and magic fire (Brisingr). These four magic attacks can be utilised in different ways (for example, Brisingr arrows, or throwing spears in baskets magically).
On the PC and console versions (excluding the Xbox 360 version) there are sixteen levels. According to IGN, the game can be completed within six hours.[8]
Some missions permit the player to use Saphira in combat. The gameplay mechanics within these levels are largely similar to those in ground-based levels, with the exception of some different attack moves (such as tail attacks). Eragon sits on Saphira"s back during these sections, and can be made to fire magic arrows. The player has no choice as to whether or not they use Saphira. Similarly, the player cannot use Saphira in ground-based levels: they can call for her and she will swoop past, but it is not possible to use this feature to ride Saphira.
There is a multiplayer co-op mode which allows two people to play through the main storyline. It is possible to switch from playing a one-player game to a two-player game at any time. There are no Internet multiplayer options.[9]
