1UP: Rygar: The Battle of Argus Hands-On Preview

It's been a while -- specifically, nearly a year -- since we last saw Rygar: The Battle of Argus, and while nothing's drastically changed (despite its numerous delays) since then, we finally got some hands-on time to check out some of the differences between this Wii update and PS2 original, Rygar: The Legendary Adventure. The most obvious (besides the Wii controls) of which is the fact that protagonist Rygar himself looks quite a bit different. His subtle, classical Greco-Roman motif's been replaced with a heavily anime-inspired reinterpretation, complete with crazy, pointy hair and armor that obviously sides more with form than function. Surprisingly, though, this reimagined Rygar seems to blend in pretty well in Battle of Argus, considering that other characters and enemies border on the absurd -- one that immediately springs to mind is a literal baby-faced hydra.
