Azurik, the piece of crap

This game is the worst game I've ever played. There isn't much of a story line, the fighting is very limited, and the graphics are horrible. It was so bad, that it should have been on the PS2. It doesn't deserve to be on the XBOX. This game is worse than the old 64 bit Superman game. Trust me, I have this game and it's only worth about 10 dollars.

Very Awesome Game

This game didn't really have that much hype as the other games that were coming out for the XBOX especially like Halo, Dark Summit, and NFL Fever....but being an RPG fan myself, I figured I would rent it first to see if I like it...and it did not disappoint...What I like about this game is that it is completely different from Halo, and even though I love Halo, it was a nice turn of events to have a old-school two sided spear..and the intricacies of the elements by using them in different combinations...you get different weapons, armors, and even wings to fly...I defintitley could not put the controller down and was supremely [mad] when I had to return it...but I did go out to buy it and when I put the brand new disc in...Low and Behold the Hard Drive saved all my stuff so I didn't have to start over...How stoked it that??? Anyways This game is a must for RPG lovers and will not disappoint...This game assured will blow the gamecubes Zelda into little bits...

Could be better but pretty good

This game has so much potential. Because it is Microsoft's first attempt at a video game I am understanding. The graphics are what you will expect from an Xbox game. The sound is great. The storyline is wonderful. The characters are cool. So why I am not completely happy with this game? You do not have a save option. The only way to save is to find these save spots within the game. If you had an emergency and had to leave without saving, you would lose all your data or if your character dies before you have saved, once again all data lost. This can be quite annoying.

Aces!

Great graphics and action for an odd title. Awsome animation. Intuitive gameplay.
Let's see a sequel to this game and more new titles from Amaze Entertainment. I think they will be a good company to keep an eye on for great game potential.

Would have been nice to have options

Poor controls. And you can't customize them. What!?! Yes, eventhough every good game in the last 5 years+ allows you to cusotmize the controls, this one doesn't. In fact the only options you have are sound levels. This is really annoying when the controls are non-standard and you must control the camera yourself for 90% of the game.

The game itself is average, but its just too annoying to play.

If you liked Soul Reaver...

If you liked Soul Reaver for the Dreamcast or Soul Reaver 2 for the PS2, then Azurik is your type of game. Much like Soul Reaver, Azurik is a 3rd-person action/adventure game where you take the identity of a hero exploring and saving your world from destruction. You accomplish this by weilding a powerful and versatile weapon that can take advantage of elemental powers. Some people have criticized it for its lower texture quality, but I believe that allows Azurik to have far larger worlds and longer sight distance. Azurik also features no loading screens, so the action is rarely interrupted. If you're unsure of my Soul Reaver comparison, I suggest you try renting Azurik before buying it. Azurik may get you excited for Blood Omen 2 (in the same Legacy of Kain series as Soul Reaver) due out on the Xbox in the first half of 2002.

Buttered Toast!

This game is pretty cool when you plop it into the CD tray of your Xbox. Purdy graphics and neat flashes that make you say "OOO" and "AAhh". The game plays really good and the controls are easy to learn and use for the ~75 hours your gunna be hooked.
You start out as an over-grown smurf with a big pointy stick. The "elemental discs" that hold the world together are shattered and blast off to the 4 major areas of the world. Your teacher is killed in the process and some ugly dude takes over. In a nutshell, your quest is to gather all them disc thingys and avenge your mentor's death.
It is alot funner(is that even a word?) than it sounds. You find things(its been a while since i've played) that give you magical powers. The powers are Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Sounds cool? Get this,
Earth+Fire=Lava
Earth+Water=Poison/Acid
Earth+Air=Dust Storm
Fire+Water=Steam
Fire+Air=Electricity
Water+Air=Ice
Neat, huh?
There's more...
Earth+Fire+Water=Purple Energy Shield
Fire+Water+Air=Lightning Shield
Water+Air+Earth=Ice Shield
Air+Earth+Fire=Purple Energy Ka-Pow Staff
Earth+Fire+Water+Air=Big power nova thing that kills everything.
Phew.... So many things to chose from.
THAT'S what your armed with when you travel throughout the world looking for the shattered discs.
The parts of the world that you go through are just as strange as the last. The fire realm has alot of lava, fire, and things exploding. The water realm has fish, whirlpools, ice, and plenty of.... water. The air realm has moving platforms that are the only thing keeping you from falling into the vast expance of nothing below you. Finally, the earth realm has strange machines that are plowing through the huge subterranean levels of the world. There are some more but I will let you find them for yourself.
The game has plenty of enemies that respawn when you go away so your entertained unlike Morrowind's exaustable supply. The enemies themselves are great. Huge rock golems that plod around with little scavenger things that scurry about the golem's feet trying to find food. When you are that food source, the scavengers will swarm you, trying to take your attention away from the golem getting ready to bash your head in. You're probably going to be fumbling around trying to think of what type of attack would work best on the rock golem as the smaller monsters hack away at your shins. The game is full of those split-second dilemas that keep you on your toes.

The downsides to the game are that the graphics aren't as good as some of the other Xbox games but its nothing to cry about. Also, some people may find the game a bit repetitive when your running back and forth. There aren't any real bosses, which I really hated. The last enemy isn't very threatening looking but he puts up a good fight.
The music and sound effects aren't all that great either... Hmmmm...Its more of an ambience instead of music.

Once you beat the game, It's over. Not much replay value.
There are a bunch of cheats for it but if you use them, the fun is gone.

I would recommend buying it, but maybe after the price drops a few more dollars.

In conclusion;
A good plot, ok graphics, good special effects, fun while it lasts.
4 stars...

Azurik

I really enjoyed this game and the graphics are awesome. I like the adventure aspects of it and there are many tough areas to conquer. This game deserves more than it is getting. I would really recommend this game for the adventurer. I even want to go back and play it again to see all the stuff I missed just trying to get thru the game. I really hope they make another Azurik 2. I like all the elements in the game and the imagination that went into it. To the people who made this game I say Thanks for an Adventure in Games for the x-box and hope there will be more adventure games soon.

Beautifully made

I Thought It Was Cool

I rented several games when i first bought my xbox to get a feel for the system and see what the capablities of the system were like. I think the developers did a great job developing the worlds and characters. I must agree that u can get frustrated with the controls but the game will capture our attention for some hours if you like RPG's. I rented Halo, Azurik, and bought Max Payne,I tired to get one of every genre, and I think that you must try it before you diss it. For me it's worth buying or at least renting just to look at the graphics.
