The reason for the cancellation of the GameCube version was pretty obvious... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.160.7.221 ( talk) 16:43, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not the best writer in the world, so could somebody fix it —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.234.4.254 ( talk • contribs).
I bought this game because I'm an avid fan of the books. I just want to tell you this is the worst game I have boughten in two years and unfortunatly i must give it 1 out of 5 stars —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.40.241.111 ( talk • contribs). Ha ha ha dumbass of course it was awful it was based on a movie. 71.251.77.125 02:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Alright, I've taken the second bullet from the Trivia section, added some facts from Eragon (film) and the latest issue of PC Gamer UK to create the Critical Reception section. It isn't very big, but it is at least a start. UnaLaguna 19:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm looking at the difference between this article and the Starcraft article, which is featured. Due to the nature of this game, we won't have as much content (yet), as A) this is only a film adaptation and B) it is unlikely to remain as popular as StarCraft.

I'm going to put this article up for assessment to find out what needs doing. UnaLaguna 21:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I removed the following section from the preview section:
First thing's first: this doesn't belong in the Preview Section. Really, it should belong in the Critical Reception section and requires a source (presumably some game footage would suffice, even if it was made by one of us?). UnaLaguna
I'll see what I can do with these links, and feel free to add stuff yourself.
UnaLaguna Never mind, those images all have watermarks in them, so we can't use them. I'll find another image or, failing that, I'll download the demo and get a screenshot from that.

I'm going through and following the suggestions made by the good people at CVG Peer Review. Of the fourteen points, I've done seven. But those are the seven easy points. UnaLaguna 07:28, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't know of any sources that really cite such comparisons, and my time with the Eragon video game is very limited, but would it be a fair assessment to suggest that Eragon plays in a similar vein to the Drakengard games? Would this be worth noting in any capacity if the similarities are truly there?-- Hailinel 18:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Far and few between, I know, but that hasn't stopped Smith Jones trying:
Tell ya what, if anybody finds a positive review (I don't think we need any negative ones), put a link here before adding it to the actual article and we'll see if it's usable. UnaLaguna 06:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I thought this game was coming out on gamecube. Is it just me or have I been falsly lead? 68.1.169.148 16:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I had some free time, so installed and played the Eragon PC demo, played it (quite possibly the worst gaming experience I've ever had) and took a few screenshots. I selected the "best" one and uploaded it. I used IrfanView to take the screenshot, which resulted in a mouse cursor being visible in the screenshot when it wasn't supposed to. Some copying and pasting of textures in The GIMP, and now you can hardly tell.
I urge you all to view the page and bask in the glory of this screenshot! UnaLaguna
I looked at the to-do list, and I think this would pass GA if the story section was longer. Una, you've done a lot of work with the game. Is the story of the game similar to that of the book? If so, I could perhaps put a little more info in, and maybe at the top of story something like this in.-- Clyde ( talk) 00:37, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I've spent about an hour using the walkthrough to write a plot summary:
It's the sort of size Krator suggested making the plot summary in the Peer Review. Otherwise, is it any good? UnaLaguna 05:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
GA On Hold
I have a few concerns with the article, mainly in terms of clarity.
Gameplay
Plot
Releases

I don't own the console games, so I can't contribute about them, but the article (except for the 'Response' section) doesn't mention the handheld version. Huh? It's a good game, and supposedly the one to get the better review of the two.
I know this sounds like an ad, but my point is that this is a unique game, and with gameplay utterly different from the console versions. So can it PLEASE be included? 169.229.121.94 03:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Ugh... I'm really sorry about that one. I forgot that the different handheld systems had utterly different versions... I'll try after my semester's over. Sorry about the yelling... I tend to get overenthusiastic. Again, sorry... 169.229.121.94 21:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Eragon-PC-Screenshot.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
