Rise of the Argonauts - Preview @ UGO

UGO Gamesblog takes a look at Codemasters' crossplatform action rpg for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, Rise of the Argonauts in this preview:

One of the better-looking titles glimpsed during last week’s pre-E3 media blitz in New York City was Liquid Entertainment’s Rise of the Argonauts.  Set to be published by Codemasters for a September 2008 release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Argonauts is an action-RPG which follows Greek hero Jason and his Argonauts on a world-spanning quest for the mythical Golden Fleece.  Brief though our time was, it was more than enough to whet our appetites for the good things to come.

Those who are unfamiliar with Greek myth have nothing to fear, as Rise of the Argonauts takes a fair few liberties with the canonical version of the story.  Rather than being sent on a king’s errand by a monarch in the twilight of his rule, Jason’s quest is instead motivated by the ever-popular damsel-in-distress.  In this case the damsel in question is Alcmene, Jason’s wife-to-be, and the distress is death.
