Game Description
Take your place among the epic heroes in Rygar: The Battle of Argus! The classic hero Rygar makes his first appearance on Wii and, of course, he's brought along his Diskarmor - the unique weapon/shield that's accompanied him through many past adventures. Journey to the Island of Argus where you'll enter a world of Greek and Roman mythology. Travel through the ravaged island on an action-packed platforming adventure where you'll battle titans, restore peace, and save the princess. The versatile Wiimote-controlled Diskarmor can attack, defend, and even transport. You can also upgrade it with over 30 combos and power-ups.
