    Meaty combat, meaningful dialogue and larger-than-life characters - it's more than a God of War wannabe. Read more

    If you're into ancient Greece and Zeus and all that jazz, then walking around the period locations will prove a thrill in itself. But if you're after a good RPG adventure with plenty of action then you'll find Rise far too inert to do the legendary tale of Jason and the Argonauts justice. Read more

    If you're a smart gamer you won't listen exclusively to critics these days. If you want a game that is bloody, action-packed and has graphics to put God of War or Gears of War to shame then this game is not for you. But if you are looking for a game with a good story, unique gameplay and different than all the rest this is the game for you. Personally, I love Greek mythology so it was easy for me to get sucked in. The system of character development through accomplishing... Read more

    Bought this product a week before christmas. Besides the fact that there's too much dialog, and too much time spent on image quality and beatiful scenary, rather than more fight scenes, and better acrobatic moves as in AC or GOW, this is still a great game to own if you're a fan of greek mythology.

  3. A dull RPG/action game

    I can’t really think of anything positive to say about this RPG based on Greek mythology. The graphics are poor, and glitchy. The characters are bland (notice how many of them look very very similar to each other), boring quests, very frustrating cut scenes and dialogue bits. Even the action elements of the game are poor. The 2005 PS2 game ’God of War’ is vastly superior to this, is based on Greek mythology and great fun to play - get that instead. Read more
