If you liked games Viking: Battle of Asgard by Sega or Conan by THQ. This title might interest you. Rise of The Argonauts, has a lot more intent of the player following a well written story, goal objective, and interaction with the game's world that really brings Rise of The Argonauts' story to life.
You would really enjoy Rise of The Argonauts, if you are into staying in tune with the game story and scenarios. The interactions of this game gives a role playing game feel, but only having a one set story is what sets it into the action category.
Rise of the Argonauts is truly a well composed game, which is set upon one of many legends of the Greek Gods of Zeus.
You play as, King Jason, who feels he has been abandon by his God, Zeus. Jason sets off into uncharted parts of the world to undo the Greek God, Zeus' will. In Jason's quest he is aided by Hercules, and with several other companions that is met threw out the quest.
Code Masters' Rise of The Argonauts was a well developed game. Using the Unreal Technology's graphic engine, Code Masters kept a amazing depth of detail for the game based scenario set in the Greek era, which also gives the player several High-Def detailed maps to explore in.
The sword play is all so very fun, but not really recommended for younger audiences. There is tons of power of the gods, weapons, armors, and moves the player learns to mangle the enemy in many different ways, literally. The motion is very fluent, the graphics are superb, and the controls are very easily mastered. You also get to decide on how to answer a conversation each time you interact with a character.
You dont always have to be a great King ya know.
The really only downfall of the game is that you spend a good deal of time searching, and talking to characters in the game to find out what you have to do next. You only play as king Jason also.
To bad it wasn't 4 player co-op game.
Rise of The Argonauts is a great game for those who enjoy old Greek legends.
