Rise of the Argonauts - Review @ Games.on.net

by Dhruin, 2009-01-19 11:25:15

Based on the PS3 version, Games.on.net has a review of Rise of the Argonauts.  Technical and other issues hold it back to 3.5/5 but the reviewer still seems to have enjoyed it:

At first, Jason is fairly weak, and the battle system seems a bit shallow – you're able to switch between weapons, and execute either a “normal” attack, or a “powerful” attack. As you progress through the game, gaining God Powers and favours of the divine themselves, the real-time battle system reveals some more depth, resulting in a unique character development mechanics and combat system, which is best manifested in each of the boss fights.

Boss fights in the game are a truly gratifying experience, with a real sense of accomplishment left with you once their often dismembered corpse is abandoned on the battlefield behind you. Boss battle difficulty ranges from incredibly easy to challenging – nothing is exceptionally difficult to accomplish in combat, but the use of tactics and strategy is favourable over mindless button mashing.
