IGN's Summary
IGN, a well known site about video games, posts the following summary about the Eragon video game.
Based on the best-selling novel and feature film, this epic fantasy-adventure centers on a young farm boy named Eragon whose destiny is revealed with the help of a dragon. Eragon, now a Dragon Rider, is swept into a world of magic and power, discovering that he alone has the power to save -- or destroy -- an Empire. Gamers will engage in intense battles with an unparalleled combo and magic-based combat system, including stunning finishing moves, multiple grapples and degradable blocks with unique counter attacks. The adventure is heightened with breathless dragon flight-based combat and devastating dragon summon attacks. Fantasy fans can also share the adventure with 2 player co-op featuring team attack bonuses and dragon fight/flight combo gameplay. IGN.com
Game Trailer
The video game trailer released on Youtube earlier this September. You can view the trailer here.
Saphira's Voice
Saphira's voice in the game sounds like a motherly, feminine voice. I believe that it fits her well. It kind of sounds like a Galadriel-type voice (an elf in The Lord of the Rings). Saphira's voice can be heard in this game video. However, the makers of the video game announced that this voice is NOT the voice that will be featured in the film.
Development Video
This is a good video where the game designers talk about how they make the video game and how its storyline is closely based on Eragon. It's worth a watch if you're interested in the video game and want to learn more about it.
