"The plot was as dry as the Sahara desert, the graphics were weak, and the controls were
downright comical." Review by Brandon Taylor

Reviewed by Aaron Boulding with score. "Perathia is in trouble and this game probably isn't
going to help, even with you at the controls."

"Not that Azurik is the most painful experience I’ve encountered, but the game offers nothing
new to the genre, and seemingly borrowed everything from elsewhere. The pain is there though,
believe me."

"What really puts the hurt on this game is the lack of any real challenge or fun."

"The game doesn't look anywhere near Xbox quality, and trying to perform some simple tasks
like jumping a platform or climbing a rock may take several tries because our hero can't latch onto
them on the first try." Review by Dangerboy.

"Every system has its share of dogs, and like a painter writing off bad paintings for being
"good to get them out of your system," it's good for the Xbox to get this one out of the
way early." Review by Joe Fielder with screen shots.

"If flawed controls don't kill the experience for you -- and as a plaform jumping, blade
wielding title they certainly do affect the quality of gameplay -- then the constant backtracking
and key hunting will eventually drive you to the point of distraction." Review by Mike
Laidlaw.

"The main problem is that you will roam freely to the point that you'll wander around, trying
to figure out what to do for much of the game because your goals are not laid out in a clear and
linear direction." Review by Pong Sifu with screen shots.

"Truly stunning visuals, excellent, non-linear map design, hours of playtime, and an
innovative magic system help bring it up a notch above the competition. Unfortunately, the control
problems, a few technical glitches, a slow start, and a lousy camera hamper the experience."
Review by Jason D'Aprile.

"Azurik does not have huge flaws that bring it down. It's a lot of little things that just
don't add up to a sum I like."

"For anyone who played the game for an hour and says it's no good should put a little more
effort into the game because that is what the game is all about. If you expect to get anywhere in a
short amount of time you can forget about it." Review by Shockwave with screen shots.
