I'm just blown away at the fact that this is a real game. Somewhere out there a redneck is crying proudly thinking about how far they've come. :P

I haven't even heard of Rise of the Argonauts, so my money is on a shallow grave.

Oh well, guess it's time to get Persona 4.

iv been playing rise of the argonoughts and its not that bad. my main issue with the game is the lack of a compass or arrow to your next objective as accessing the map is tiresome.apart from that its actually quite good.

God I'm worried about Rise of the Argonauts, I had such high hopes for it when it was revealed in Game Informer, but it seems like this is another case of a game being rushed out the door to meet the holiday season.

Yea, I thought it seemed like it would be very cool. I guess we just have to wait for the reviews to roll in. Doubt very much that I will be sending in any gameflys to get this too my door any time soon anyway.

Stupid holidays.

I didn't realize Rise of the Argonauts was trying so desperately to look like 300. That's kind of pitiful.

How so? A dark haired male with facial hair and weapons from the classic mythological period must be "trying so desperately to look like 300?"

Come on. Look at that background and tell me it's not a blatant ripoff of the movie 300.

yeah the european box art does look like they're trying to connect with something popular and kind of pulling a baja thing. it's also like an army game, you expect some similarities seeing as how it's the same genre with the same activities and the equipment and weapons are similar

Yeah, the cover for the game is VERY reminiscent of 300. But if you've seen trailers/gameplay vids it actually has some wonderful art design to it that is more colorful fantasy than super-high contrast shades of brown.

I had never even heard of RotA's till today. Just saw some vids and it looks decent. Still gotta see how the controls and camera turn out and maybe I'll rent it down the line.

I love renting a game I dont have too high of expectations for and then turns out to be really solid.

Some Wii owner need to try out Red Neck Jamboree and tell us how it is.

Also, Rise of the Argonauts was sent out to die.
