Game Focus: Rygar: The Battle Of Argus Review

Game Focus writes: "Admit it, when you first hear the word port, you likely cringe and expect the absolute worst, right? Tecmo knows it, and they've come to make port not such a dirty word with Rygar: Battle of Argus. Essentially what you're going to find here is a port of the original series reboot found on the PS2 around 6 years ago. The question is, can the game truly stand the test of time and change the perception of ports for the Wii?"

Pros

+ Controls nicely. Barely any waggle in main story.
+ Orchestral music is fantastic.
+ Some excellent boss battles.
+ Highly destructible environments.
+ Diskarmor is fun to use...

Cons

-...but incredibly slow.
- Animation is really stiff.
- No widescreen support.
- Hitting switches to access areas is really boring and tedious.
- Voice-acting is vomit-inducing.
- Bad camera.
- Price tag is too high for a port of a 6 year old PS2 game.
