Rise of the Argonauts IGN Preview

Filed in archive Game Previews on June 29, 2007

While im all for big name sequels, its the prospect of getting great new franchises that makes me all giddy. From Liquid Entertainment comes Rise of the Argonauts, an action RPG with a healty dose of God of War type battles. One of the coolest things in the game is how characters' bodies react to damage and actually show you that this guy took a hell of a beating. It's graphic i know but that didn't stop 300 from burning the movie charts last summer. I'm adding this title to my games-to-watch list.

Loosely based on the Greek mythological hero, Jason of Iolcus, Rise of the Argonauts resurrects one of the world's most famous parables. Rather than following the popular myth beat for beat, however, the creative team has taken several liberties to tell the story they want to tell. Instead of Jason pursuing the Golden Fleece because of a plot to kill him by his evil uncle Pelias, for example, Jason now seeks the Fleece to restore the life of his dead bride who was murdered on their wedding day (no word yet as to who the bride is; be it Jay's first spouse Medea, his second wife Glauce [who we suspect it is], or a completely fictional woman created for the videogame).
