  1. If you’re wondering what it would be like to ride on the back of a giant dragon, crushing those who would dare to oppose you, go out and rent "The Neverending Story." You’ll have a better time than you would playing Eragon.

Esta mecánica se ve bien en juegos por turnos como Tao´s adventure, pero aquí no.

    Argumentalmente hace lo que le da la gana, por un lado está la historia original del libro, por otro lado la mala adaptación de la película y por otro este juego.

    Prefiero la versión de GBA, tiene unas buenas mecánicas y es mucho más fiel al libro de lo que fue la película, recuperando personajes y lugares importantes.

The combat system is fluid and fun, with lots of variety. The damage physics and sound really feel like you're planting real hits on the enemies. The spell casting is a two part system of draw-first, then flick the spell from the touch screen. It's very satisfying. The huge landscapes are really engrossing, too, making this a really meaty adventure. Points off for abrubt ending and not much to bring you back, save for a complete replay sometime down the line when you're itching for some visceral kills. Full Review »

    I am enjoying it! It is nice to have an open area to fight in (like ffxll). Are the clay pots just decoration? I feel it is a great game.
