Rygar: The Battle of Argus - IGN Hands-On

"Rygar is still here, it's coming this December, and we've played it -- and came away impressed." "Tecmo likes to think of this version of Rygar as similar to what it did with Ninja Gaiden Black -- basically, this is meant to be the definitive version of the game." "The regular story mode is now called Conquest Mode, and a new Gladiator Mode has been added. Gladiator is an "enemy rush" mode that pits the player against 30 waves of increasingly difficult monsters. Every fifth stage is a boss fight (some of which are enormous), leading up to a special boss that isn't found in Conquest Mode." "Rygar on PS2 featured a rich, orchestral soundtrack that has been enhanced on the Wii with Dolby. We noticed its quality during our play session and discovered the soundtrack was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studio."

So they said there were no surprises?
Then i don't know what i am but i would call it surprised.KungfuKitten

Its good it didn't fall under the "Just add waggle" group.

Seems sort of like Soul Calibur LegendsBubbyJello

Soul Calibur?

The screenshot in the bottom right corner screams God of War.

Anyway, it's been on my interest list since I heard they were enhancing it. I'm glad I haven't played the original.

Soul Calibur?

Are they at least updating the graphics? They still look PS2-ish to me. I'm gonna wait for reviews before I decide on buying this.lancea34

I played the PS2 version once through, and while I found it too easy and a little short, it was an enjoyable game. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Wii version turns out.

I bet they launch the NES Rygar on VC just before the new Wii Rygar comes out, hehe. I remember that game being way to hard for me to get anywhere, lol.

Didn't Rygar come out before God of War? Like almost 20 years before hand? So wouldn't God of War look like Rygar? Not Rygar looking like God of War?mothergaia

Rygar has nothing to do with God of War. Rygar is also made by Tecmo. God of War is a 1st party game from Sony.

On topic, I might look at it. I'm not really a fan of these games. I remember Rygar on NES but I didn't play on the PS2 game.

I think he was trying to make a point that both games have similar art styles.

I think he was referring to how both games use the "swing a weapon on a chain" for combos type combat along with the greek mythology setting. No where did he mention they were directly related to each other, just that they were similar in style.

Since this is just a port with mininal effort put into it, what stops people from not just getting the one on ps2 for way less money.

Minimal efforts? The game already has a new hero, new ennemies, new dungeons. How is it a port? It's a remake.

Not owning a ps2 for me.

This game looks pretty great. I'll wait until I see some reviews of course, but I'm going to keep my eye on it.
