Eragon (video game)

Eragon spawned a game and a movie. Coincidentally, the DS game rocked.


 * Adaptation Distillation: Just about everything from the movie and a lot of stuff from the book, which the movie cut, is here. This includes Eragons fight with Arya.
 * Big Damn Heroes: Eragon saves Brom several times, including a Ra'zaac attacking Brom. Saphira saves them both quite a bit. The first three Saphira levels are her Big Damn Heroes Moments. Brom
 * Gameplay and Story Segregation--.
 * Chekhov's Gun: There is a  in Carvahall. Of course players who don't know what it is (read: just about everyone on there first playthrough) will soon forget about it.
 * Difficulty Spike: As soon as you enter the forest.
 * Disk One Nuke: The Bow and Arrow, because of the fact that you see enemies long before they see you.
