Rise of the Argonauts - Review @ Gamepyre

Gamepyre has kicked up a review for Codemasters' action rpg Rise of the Argonauts, and the author is less than impressed, giving it an overall score of 68/100:

This game had a lot of promise but I have to say no sale. The storyline, although very inaccurate compared with the actual story found in mythology was the best aspect that this game had to offer. Mixed with great voice acting the game is at best entertaining for a couple of days, but once your boredom spell is broken you will not look at this game again.

There is very little action compared with all the running around that you have to do. The game feels more like you're running errands instead of actually playing a game. And when the action does come around, the whole strategy to fighting in this game revolves around button mashing. Only the boss fights offers some sort of challenge. It also seems that in the entire game there are only like maybe five or six unique enemies. From a gaming perspective this game is boring. The only way I would recommend getting Rise of the Argonauts is if you're going through a terrible spell of boredom.
