Get the Rise of the Argonauts [ALL] Trailer off WP (110mb)

Inspired by the greatest Greek myths and legends, Rise of the Argonauts will enable players to live a hero’s life, fight a hero’s fight and sculpt a hero’s legacy. With a distinctive blend of epic narrative and brutal real-time combat, players will be immersed in a story of lost love and a quest for personal vengeance in a world of gods, kings, magic and awe-inspiring mythical beasts.

Embarking on a quest to find the Golden Fleece and revive his beloved slain wife, Jason and his trusted band of Argonauts explore the vast Aegean – a dynamic world of luscious islands, shining cities, lush jungles and deep forests - in a vibrant realisation of ancient Greece. As Jason, players will carve a unique journey through the game world as their choices incur the god’s wrath or favour, shape the plot, change the outcome of each quest and open up new story arcs.

In the middle of Olympic fever, Codemasters engineered something that allows those of us who weren't selected for the Olympic team to participate in some sporting events of our own.

For those of you that are old enough, you'll see Codies tipped their hats to the Track and Field game of yore and created a keyboard mashing, festival of fun for you and your friends. There are five events to participate in: 100m Dash, Javelin, Hammer Toss, Long Jump and Archery.

You can try practice mode to hone your skills at each of the five events or you can go straight into competition mode and have one go at each event to build up your overall score.

Throw down the gauntlet and challenge your friends - there's a live leaderboard in place so that you can see who really is the best between you, your friends and the rest of the world, so we'll all be able to keep tabs on who has the fastest fingers in the world!

Like all true heroes of Greece, the gods follow Jason on his quests. Jason will gain the favour of the gods and earn special abilities, but his actions may please some gods and displease others. Earning a god's favour will grant players powers within the god's domain, but drawing a god's wrath may cause them to inflict a torment on the heroes at the worst possible moment.

An action RPG unlike any other, Rise of the Argonauts’ intuitive real-time combat dispenses with cumbersome menu systems that have become intrusive staples within the genre, providing seamless, spectacular battles. As a true weapons master, Jason has instant access to any of the four upgradable weapons he carries with him at all times; shield, mace, sword and lance. Switching weapons mid-fight at the touch of a button, players can string together stunning and deadly combos, taking out enemies in a blur of cold steel and crimson blood.

Rise of the Argonauts, developed by Liquid Entertainment, is in development for PS3, X360, PC, and currently scheduled for Q4 2008.
