so is this game any good?
I have not reallyu heard much about it, what do you think?

Apparently it is, but it's not great as it suffers from some basic flaws which really let down the innovation elsewhere in the game. The speech mechanics are better than Mass Effects I hear.

After reading a few reviews I have to come to the conclusion that this is one of those games that deserves to be remade, so they can fix the flaws and improve gameplay. It's such a shame, I was really looking forward to this, I love this sort of thing, but as it stands I am in no rush to play it.


EDIT:

GT Review

I completed the game long ago and I absolutely loved it. True, there are some gameplay bugs, but they're not game breakers at all. And the story absolutely carries the game all the way. It's very good

I know this is a really old topic (the game itself also has been out quite some time now). But I only recently got this game from a bargain bin and perhaps somebody else will also come looking here for advice if they see it for cheap. I myself was quite surprised by this game. It's clearly quite buggy and not a tripple A game. The production lacks in many ways. Also the gameplay mechanic's are quite obvious (you really realise your just playing a game and can clearly see how the level design, etc. is done).

Having said that, I am quite enjoying myself with this title. I like that the game has an interesting story, even if it's far from the original Greek legends (so if your deep into that, the story might actually bother you). And you spend a lot of time just exploring and talking to people aside from fighting. So far most fights actually seemed like they fit in well with the story. Not the hordes and hordes of pointless enemies to keep you from going to point A to B to quickly. This was a breath of fresh air for me. The game seems to have a good balance between story, combat and dialogue.

If you can pick this game up cheap and can look past it's flaws and low production-values (note; some art work does look very good) this game is accually quite enjoyable. It also has a nice inventive 'leveling' system and clear and easy over-viewable collection system of armor, weapons, etc. Nothing that will overwelm you, but enough to inspire competitionists. I'd say it's worth buying....

Rise of The Argonauts is one of my favourite "overlooked" games from the last 10-15 years. Take a Bioware style RPG (Post KoTOR-Pre Mass Effect) and set it in and around greek mythology and you have this game -- with a few additional combat quirks & bugs.

Anyways, it has loads of Dialogue, Achilles, Paul Eiding, an arena sequence and centuars. Good enough for me.

Old Skool thread, but yeah Rise of the Argonauts was actually pretty good. It didn't take itself too seriously and was a lot of fun.

Picked this game up when it came out and beat it in a few sittings. Really liked it.

I am sold. Just placed my order on Amazon.

I finished it and its only ok. Nothing is really bad but nothing is really good, the combat is kinda fun but sort of mindless. Pick it up if your curious, i bet it cheap now ;)

I played about an hour of it and I wasn't liking it maybe I'll give it another shot later based off what these duders are saying.
