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. The game is based upon the recent Eragon film, which is in turn based on the book Eragon, by Christopher Paolini. In the game the player takes on the role of the main protagonist from the book and film, Eragon, and occasionally takes control of his dragon Saphira.

The handheld games are significantly different from the PC and console versions. The Gameboy Advance game centers on role-playing rather than combat, whilst the PSP game focuses on multiplayer action and aerial dragon levels. The DS edition uses its touch screen in the battle system.


Hints

Dras-Leonas Escape
When you are in Dras-Leonas and escaping from the church, remember not to do any battles until the one in the end, because those fights drain your HP.

When you are battling all those guys, use a bow (preferably the Tall Bow) and knock out the guys in the back because they do the most damage to you.
