Azurik: Rise of Perathia

"If you're positively dying for a third person action adventure, Azurik: Rise of Perathia is solid enough to enjoy, but only just."

"Azurik: Rise of Perathia is a relatively unexciting first stab at the action-adventure market. It's not in the same company as Jak & Daxter or even Soul Reaver 2. What really puts the hurt on this game is the lack of any real challenge or fun."

"Although it first glance it looks a little like a super-violent Zelda, with cute woodland creatures and pretty sunlit glades, there are a few game features that almost literally turn initial appearances on their heads."

"...if you can put up with [the game's] shortcomings - the long, disorienting hours spent exploring new areas, the dull puzzles and odd controls - you might find a passable action-adventure, but, it's certainly not one for everyone."

"Not without its good sides, Azurik simply falls short. If you’re looking for a good fantasy game, I’d recommend holding out for the release of those that are sure to come farther down the road. I’m still keeping my eyes open, because I didn’t find it here."
