Rise of the Argonauts - Review @ RealGamer

by Magerette, 2009-02-11 17:29:00

A late review is up over at RealGamer for Codemasters' and Liquid Entertainment's action rpg, Rise of the Argonauts. This one gets a composite score of 7.4/10, mainly because the graphics and audio scores rate a 9,apparently:

The games story is fairly complex! However, Rise of the Argonauts is not the longest role-playing game offering around 10 to 12 hours of gameplay. The challenge on offer is pretty limited as well. Enemies attack in overwhelming numbers, and not only will you be fighting men, but minions and beasts from mythology however it’s far too easy to dispatch of them as they all behave the same during combat and, despite being equipped with shields it is relatively easy to break their guard. You will also come up against some pretty formidable looking boss battles that are sadly far too easy to overcome once you figure out what attacks work on them. Some of the bosses are huge and could have made for very entertaining level end climaxes! However you can’t help feel they’re too weak. The game also insists on you having to sit through some fairly long dialogue sequences time and time again after being defeated, this can be fairly annoying as you will simply want to resume the battle you lost.
