Rise of the Argonauts - Preview @ Hooked Gamers

Hooked Gamers has a preview up for Codemaster's forthcoming mythologically inspired, multi-platform action rpg, Rise of the Argonauts:

In the game you play as Jason, King of the island nation of Lolcus. ...

The sea faring tale, in gameplay terms, means that you will be traveling to many different islands in search of the elusive relic. On the way, you will acquire team mates, the titular Argonauts who will journey and fight with you, items and abilities. And, perhaps most importantly, you will obtain leads as to the whereabouts of Colchis, the home of the Fleece.

...Each island is under the control of a different Greek God and designed around their particular characters. For example the island belonging to Artemis (Goddess of the hunt) is covered in forest, with huge trees looming above, giving the feeling of being consumed...

Each island, when completed, will give Jason a new ability that will open up new areas and options for the player when returning to previously completed islands....

...Codemasters says that they are striving for ‘lethality’, with regards to the combat. Meaning that their engine detects whether Jason and his allies’ weapons have struck a shield, or flesh, and causing the characters to react accordingly. This will lead to more realistic and strategic battles, where approaching the right enemy with the right weapon, and even from the right angle, will make a huge difference.
