Rygar was a semi popular game for the first Nintendo system (very old). (I only put 5 stars because it's a required fill in, I have not heard anything about this game though so don't buy till you hear about this version. This review is for those who don't know what Rygar is).
People who are into games now probably have no idea what to expect so I'll briefly tell you what the old game was like.
Rygar is like a hercules type game character (or Strider from the Strider series).
The old game was fun because he had this really cool standard weapon that was like a flaming or lighting yo-yo (he slung it and it would come back to him), yo-yo sounds weak but the weapon was really cool looking.
You went through levels fighting enemies while acquiring more items that help you out through the game. Some are a cross bow that you would shoot arrows attached to ropes across cliffs to get to the other side, power ups, and I think there was a glider type item but I'm not sure (my brother said there was but I never got that far, I was only 6). The difficulty was enough to keep you from being disappointed.
I have not heard anything about this game but if it's based on the NES version, it should be very good.
Just wrote this to give you an idea of what it's about.

This version may or may NOT be the original

The Nintendo verison of Rygar was an excellent game, I agree with the first reveiwer. It had a great sound track(some NES games had the best music I've heard in games) and wicked levels and sinister enemies like the shadowlords in the cloud fortress. Hopefully the Flaming Disk wheapon will be in this too.(probably a higher level wheapon) on the PS2 box Rygar has a shield and probably a sword of some kind to start with. Hopefully you will be able to save. In the original you could not save. (I had to keep the NES powered while I rested between playing.) I should probably e-mail my brother about this PS2 version...

Not worth $50

I just finished this game on "easy" mode. It took me about 2 nights playing this game to finish it. It is a short game, as everyone has already stated. Probably 25% as big as Devil May Cry1. This game is exactly like Devil May Cry. It is almost too similar because it feels like the same game, just with different characters. If you haven't played DMC in years, then Rygar will be a nice adventure. However, if you just got around to playing DMC recently, you may want to pass on this one because it is too much of the same and you will probably get bored.
The whole game is a copy of DMC, even the in game menu system resembles DMC. The way Rygar's weapon is enhanced throughout the game is very much like Dante's sword was. Rygar even has to go around picking up little glowing balls to earn points to upgrade his weapon, the diskarmor.
The graphics in this game are beautiful, but I wouldnt say they are any better than DMC 1.
I was very disappointed by the enemies. The enemies you run into throughout the game were very boring and not exciting to do battle with.
Who wants to run around with a badass weapon, only to be forced to use it on nothing but oversized bugs? Caterpillers, spiders and some kind of flying snail things are just about the only enemies you will encounter. I know the original NES Rygar had the same kinds of enemies, but more humanoid beings are needed. There was a cyclops creature but only appeared about 2 times. Now, I only played the game on "easy," so i hope on normal or hard there will be more variety of enemies.There were lots of boss enemies to fight in this game. Defeating them was only accomplished by standing right on top of them and hitting them repeatedly, taking damage and then repeating.
Overall this games is 3 stars and maybe worth picking up when the price drops. I'm still waiting to buy NFS hot pursuit but still cost $50 after a year? what is going on?

this game was ok. i mean the graphics are unbelievable and the fighting sequence is killer but the game is extremely short. it only took me 3 hours to beat this game and the only replay value this game has is playing the game again on a harder mode. that's it. might i suggest renting the game?

Cool Game...

Kinda short. I rented it and solved in 6 1/2 hours. Glad I didn't pay full price for it! ;)

Overall, it reminded me of Zelda the Wind Waker; except, in this game, you only play in the boss areas. There's not much puzzle solving, searching, or any extended side quests. It's a straight forward smash and run game. Not worth buying, but worth playing.

Good but God of War is Great

This is a great game and should be purchased if you love Greco/Roman storylines. The price on Amazon is a rip off though. You can find the game on the gamequestdirect website for about $18.99.

The storyline is very generic and fraught with poor voice acting and misspelled subtitles. For $18.99 it's a steal, for $49.99 it's a pass.
Hope this helps.
