    In spite of its technical shortcomings, Rise of the Argonauts is still a truly fun game that has gotten a bit of a bum rap. The story is very intriguing, and the leveling system is handled superbly.

    The combat is competent if not a bit repetitive and the story is entertaining from start to finish.

    There's something strangely likeable about it all – the ambition and passion of the development team is actually oddly appealing. It's just all so misguided. [Mar 2009, p.124]

    The Reviews really ruins the expectations for the game it is a really well made game , both a great story line and great action battles. Even though at the beginning the game gets little complicated for us to fully master it, like god powers and how to use the weapons , but when u do, u will find your self indulged in a raw action game… Expand

    Rise is a truly epic quest with an all star cast (Most of all Metal Gear Solid series voice actors lend voices to these characters) though it may have slight drawbacks with framerate issues, Rise is a stunning epic story of love and betrayal. truly an awesome experience!… Expand

    Poor game. Play is linear and already set out for you. No real freedom in the game, terrible leveling up system. This game is not a real rpg, more like hack n slash. Boring. Would not recommend this game to any true rpg fan.… Expand
