Rise of the Argonauts came out last month. It got no review from Gamespot on any platform. Nobody here is talking about it.

With all the hype over GTA IV, Prince of Persia and Fallout 3, was this game completely forgotten?

Actually I wanted to get it, but I really can't be bothered with the story. They just should of let you create your own hero, going on the adventure. Still it looks good and I think there will be more fans eventually, try checking another site they may have a review on it. To tell you the truth I didn't even relise it was out unitl i saw this. GTA 4 overrated, GTA san andreas was 1000times better. PRince of persia is rubbish now. And fallout 3 is spectacular.

It was reviewed by Gamespot as soon as it came out and received a 6.5. Look again.

Consoles got a 6.0. PC was ignored, like usual at GS.

The impression I get was it flopped. Flopped to the max.

Well it wasn't given a score for the PC version, which is a common trend with consolespot. But the community has been very quiet, I don't think it has done very well at all. Probably a massive flop in terms of sales. I don't plan on getting it, never was interested in it before anyway.

It's worth a 5.0 really. I haven't finished the game and I don't think I'll bother finishing it especially after the comments I've read in a thread, but you can make up your mind about the game from the first level.

I have to repeat what I've said in a previous thread: "This game could have been so much better but the devs should really consider a career change.

Story, characters, locations as the above poster said were great, but for me, everything else was a disaster. Some liked the combat but I didn't like it at all. The camera moving or I should say switching to a different angle so fast is so **** annoying during combat. It's like you have no control over your character in combat (felt like I was playing Prince of Persia 2 again). And the weapons are weak (at the beginning at least), like the sword and spear. Maybe it's just me because I don't have a physx card but when using the sword it doesn't do damage at all, it's like fighting ghosts.

And one more thing, you have almost no video options and the most annoying thing of them all, you cannot change the **** controls."

So in other words, it's not worth it. No wonder they don't release demos these days. If you really want to get it and have a console maybe you should consider renting it first.
