As the King of Iolcus, Jason had everything—a prosperous kingdom, the respect of his peers, and a beautiful fiancé. When she was killed on their wedding day, he vowed to do anything to restore her life. Now, in order to accomplish this heroic feat Jason must seek out the Golden Fleece, and with the help of some of Greek mythology's greatest heroes, Jason will set sail on the most epic voyage of all time.

A grand scale Action/RPG, Rise of the Argonauts immerses players in a gladiatorial adventure set in an epic vision of ancient Greece. Taking the role of Jason – a hero and expert warrior trained by none other than the lord of the Centaurs – players will battle alongside Hercules, Achilles, Atalanta, and other Argonauts as they engage in brutal combat against formidable beasts and enemies, in a vast world alive with fickle gods and jaw-dropping panoramas.

KEY FEATURES:

  • An Epic Scale Action/RPG – Players will grow Jason from young king to true legend as they set sail aboard the Argo and explore a dynamic world of islands filled with shining cities, lush jungles, deep forests, and vast oceans. As they progress through the story, players will be able to upgrade Jason's weapons, armor and stats, add and swap out new Argonauts, and customize the Argo based on islands visited, items collected, and much, much more.
  • Jason, Party of Three, Table for One – Throughout the search for the Golden Fleece, Jason will be accompanied by some of Greek mythology's greatest heroes, including Hercules, Achilles, Atalanta and more. As Jason comes across new heroes, players can add them into the mix to accompany Jason on his quest. Jason can have two additional Argonauts with him throughout the game, but it will be the player's choice to decide which heroes are best suited for each part of the journey.
  • Brutal, Blood-Spurting Combat – Gamers will leave their mark on ancient Greece as they engage in heart-pumping, lethal, blood-spurting combat against hordes of enemy warriors, ruthless beasts and truly formidable mythological creatures. Whether Jason is lopping off heads or cutting warriors in half with his sword, of Hercules is tearing the arms off of an incensed Dryad, the combat in Rise of the Argonauts will leave players wanting for their next confrontation. Further, the Jason and the other Argonauts can combine combat tactics, where Hercules might bear hug an enemy from behind while Jason bashes them to a bloody pulp with his mace, for example.
  • The Gods are Watching…Always – Like all true heroes of Greece, the gods follow Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece. Jason will gain the favor of the gods and earn special abilities, but his actions may please some gods and displease others. Earning a god's favor will grant players powers within the god's domain, but drawing a god's wrath may cause them to inflict a torment on the heroes at the worst possible moment.

Solid Rental

Rise of the Argonauts is a compelling Action-RPG that takes artistic liberty with the classic story of Jason and the Argonauts in order to achieve an engaging storyline. The entire premise involves Jason pursuing the Golden Fleece in order to resurrect his lost love, Alceme, who is assassinated in the opening minutes by a member of the Blacktongues, followers of the fallen titaness Hecate.

solid game plagued by technical issues

I loosely followed this game before the release and it slipped by me at release but I recently corrected that oversight. only to be left greatly disappointed.

The game itself is quite solid in my opinion:
* good storyline that pulls you in that doesn't totally hijack the well known tale
* abundance of side quests to keep you busy
* the ability to make options & win favor of mu...[More]


Terrible, waste of money and time.

Introduction:
This game had some good previews when you watch videos on different websites, but these previews were just like a movie. Yes, the previews will be good but when you buy the product sometimes it is terrible. This was one of those terrible games.

Cons:
The graphics were terrible and for this game to be for the PS3, I expected better. It took forever just to get to fightin...[More]
