As action RPGs go, Rise of the Argonauts, inspired
by the legend of King Jason’s quest to find the
golden fleece, is a bit on the slowside, thanks to
the extremely long-winded dialogue that bogs
down the whole affair unforgivably. After a shaky
start, things soon settle down once the combat
kicks off and Jason has an arsenal of spears,
swords and shields at his disposal. Fighting is
simple to pick up, switching weapons is a breeze,
and you can improve your abilities by sucking up
to various deities. There’s a great game here
struggling to get out.
