DESCRIPTION
One of Greek mythology's memorable tales makes its PC debut with Rise of the Argonauts. Guide Jason, the king of Iolcus, on a blood-soaked quest to avenge the death of his fiancée. Sail to multiple islands to seek out the legendary Golden Fleece, which has the power to bring back the dead, and enlist the aid of the ancient world's celebrated heroes to complete your goals. Structured like an action role-playing game, Rise of the Argonauts emphasizes violent, combo-driven combat sequences with the ability to switch weapons on the fly and unleash attacks that can decapitate and eviscerate foes with one mighty swing.
Instead of earning experience points to level up your character, the game involves acquiring new powers and skills by courting the favor of four gods: Apollo, Athena, Ares, and Hermes. Choosing specific dialog paths, slaying a particular beast, winning arena battles, rescuing people, and performing other deeds can unlock different tiers of talents under a particular god. Twenty-five skills are available under each deity, all of which are designed to enhance your combat techniques in various ways. Master the use of swords, spears, maces, and shields, and recruit the likes of Hercules, Achilles, Pan, and Atalanta to fulfill Jason's destiny. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Not so usual to see in PC platform one action RPG, wich make this an interesting bet from Codemasters. Too bad that they failed in some points. The most flagrant is the fact that the map is only acessible by a menu wich make it a bit of a pain and a cooldown on game experience, but is just an annoying issue.
Worse is the fact that even using a top graphic card (ATI Radeon HD4870 ) the game show some lags, and when moving to new zones the game need to make a small break to load it, in our days is a turn off point. I had the feeling that the game needed a bit more work before release.
Even with this issues is a game that get the player attention , specially if is a new player in this genre, easy interface and a really good storyline.
