Rise of the Argonauts - Review @ IGN

The first major review for Argonauts is out, with IGN taking a look at the X360 version.  Despite noting some interesting ideas, the stripped-back RPG elements, combat and minimalistic HUD all come in for criticism, as well as performance problems on the console.  The score is 6.2/10 and here's an early excerpt:

Trimming the number-crunching aspects in which the obsessive-compulsive and RPG hardcore so ravenously revel while keeping in lengthy, fully-voiced conversations between characters and an accessible real-time combat system seems to be an appeal to the mainstream. By removing the typical RPG genre complications and adding a simple combat engine with a heavy emphasis on passive abilities and the mechanical repetition of light and heavy attacks, block, and dodge moves, the game can't fully satisfy action or RPG appetites. It feels like Liquid sacrificed too much for the sake of its genre fusion.
