Jason is one part God of War and one part Gladiator, but shows a lot of promise. Jason in Rise of the Argonauts starts his journey to vengeance as a king so there is no taking him from rags to riches, but instead just helping him execute his revenge after seeing his wife murdered. A good mix of enemies and monsters are shown in the trailer although I think the in game footage in the second clip leaves a bit to be desired graphically.
