Add that continued praise to the fact that this adventure will offer you upwards of 30 hours of gameplay, and consider that that's a pretty acceptable return on an investment of just eight bucks, and Phantasy Star IV should quickly become a game that you'

Carried along by high adventure, interesting sidequests, and a cast of characters I was glad to spend time with, Rise of the Argonauts was an entertaining ride that I would recommend to people interested in the subject matter, or to players who crave an a

Rise of the Argonauts is a solid effort with some minor flaws that will likely satisfy the Greek aficionados of the gaming community. The combat is competent if not a bit repetitive and the story is entertaining from start to finish.

Game Vortex
Rise of the Argonauts can be quickly summarized as an RPG God of War. At least, that is the initial impression you would get. Here, we have a great Greek hero on a quest, receiving various powers from gods and leaving a path of destruction in his wake.

The action part is simple but therefore not less entertaining. There are two basic attacks and next to that a couple of special ones as well. As the game progresses you get better weapons and gear that constantly looks nice and detailed.

Liquid Entertainment has done a good job in creating a gripping story filled with tons of mythological fodder to keep any fan interested, but the lack of a concrete combat system and the ability to actually make your own fateful decisions in dialogue trul

Rise of the Argonauts looks like an action game. It plays like an RPG. And it hoped to achieve a new level of immersion with interactive elements aimed at diminishing the plague of linearity.

Rise of the Argonauts tries its best to copy the “modern” Action RPG stereotype set forth by games like Mass Effect and Jade Empire.

Over the course of the game Jason will gradually become more powerful, a result of better weaponry and armor types, but it's difficult to actually gauge how powerful.

GameSpot
To say that Rise of the Argonauts has pacing issues would be an understatement of Olympian proportions; so much of your time is spent running around and talking to people that combat feels like a rare treat rather than a focus of the game.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
There isn't enough actual gaming here, so like a TV host facing the "stretch" signal, Argonauts tries to fill the void with talk.

Cheat Code Central
The RPG genre has been so successful because it combines two things nerds love: numbers and stories about sword-wielding guys who meet well-built women in skimpy outfits.

When viewed as a whole, Rise of the Argonauts is a fairly fun game marred by some serious issues, both in the presentation and the gameplay.

Rise of the Argonauts is like a brilliant story written by a terrible author; filled with technical issues and poor design choices that will have you questioning why the game was rushed for a late-December release when it obviously would have been better

Absolutely nothing about Rise of the Argonauts stands out as special, and just when you think the game's about to take a turn for the better (at least in terms of reworking the Jason and the Argonauts story), its fundamental and technical problems -- incl
