The Argonauts and later, bizarrely, the Wheelwarriors have been aiding Jason for some time now. His adventures are the stuff or legends….literally.
Rise of the Argonauts tells the story of King Jason, distraught over the assassination of his wife and determined to defy the laws of death to restore her life. With the backing of Gods such as Hermes, Ares and Apollo (not the one from Rocky), he sets sail aboard the Argos in search of the Golden Fleece (not the one from Penny's).
This truly is the most boring game I have ever encountered; in the words of Homer (yes, the one fromTthe Simpsons) "I have seen PLAYS more interesting". There is very little to do; this is more of an interactive movie that is light on the interaction. The exclusion of a H.U.D. (or even a feckin' compass), while more cinematic, makes finding your way around a bit of a chore and I got fed up with in pretty quickly.
If you're doing Greek and Roman Civilisation in college, this might interest you; otherwise just wait for the film.
