SUMMARY:
Well lets just say I got this game at the launch of the xbox along with Halo, but for some apperant reason I played this more (Halo is a better game). It looked awsome in the screen shots as Azurik was using his powers, but then played the game to relize that it was only screen shots of a cut sceen movie. Well then the game changed and was different to what I first expected.

At first this game might appear to be linear but after you have got your first power (as they were shattered) the game is non linear. The only loading time for the game is at the start just to load your file but that is only for a couple of seconds after that the amazing thing is that this game is so huge and there is no loading screens between areas.

THE GOOD:
If you find something give me a call TRB81369@hotmail.com

THE BAD:
THE GAME

SUMMARY:
All this time I thought auditions for the blue man group were over. I just have to ask one question about this game what were the makers smoking when they released this game. The storyline is completly bogus. Don't waste your money on this game please the magic is terrible. Honestly the game makes you think, but it is much to hard and the monster just... let me think SUCK! It is the same with the graphics. It is the same with the controls. FOLKS I wouldn't even pay $5 dollars for the game to be completly honest but im sure there is something good about it so do some research! I really didn't play the game much at first but i still gave it a shot thought, you know first impresion, well for this game i should have taken that first impresion very seriously!

THE GOOD:
Not much...

SUMMARY:
The graphics are decent, but could have been a lot better. The story line, i think, is the worst overrall. Gameplay? i'd give it a 2 outta 10.
The tasks can be tiresom after a while, whether it be solving some kinda boring-as-hell puzzle, or fighting the annoyingly repetitive varieties of enemies. Also, i found it very easy to get lost in the irritatingly complex paths, that have extremely little to do on the way. As for the sound, i thought it pretty dang mediocre.

Overall, i'd recomend that you RENT IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT. I should have, i think it's the biggest mistake of a creation by Microsoft, and the worst spent fifty bucks ever.

THE GOOD:
Eveything

THE BAD:
Nothing

SUMMARY:
I hope microsoft makes sequels to this game its so interesting and detaile sdi love combining elements to get new things i love exploring the realms and everything is so deatailed it takes startegy to use the elements the right way and the game may be to short but the story really unfolds as you go along i hope there is a way microsaoft can make multiple sequels to this its better than nintendos zelda and PS crash bandicoot in my opion Its Awesome YO!

THE GOOD:
The gameplay is phenomenal, the landscape is stunning,the hero is a mix of an inexperienced youth and an old time warrior. The very fact that the critics gave this game such a low score demonstrates how more more intelligent Azurik fans are than the general public.

THE BAD:
The critics. I rate the critics and give them a 1.5 / 5

SUMMARY:
The game grows and grows, and gets much more interesting as you venture further into the realms. While other games max out early and either get slower or level off, Azurik just keeps on getting better. Two thumbs up!!!

THE GOOD:
The fighting style, The Axion (your weapon), The plot, The ability to not only use Elemental Powers, but to be able to combine them - Water and Fire create Steam, Water and Earth create Acid.

THE BAD:
You only have one weapon (although it IS good), the graphics aren't as good as they could be, easy to get lost.

SUMMARY:
It's a great game, the puzzles can be hard at times, but they ARE solvable! I prefer Soul Reaver 2 to Azurik, but since I gor Azurik two days ago, I've been playing it constantly. It's a good game, I advise you to get it!

This game is enjoyable. The high polygon count and the brain twisting puzzles make up for the bad textures and the enemies,who apparently know the secret of ressurection. The environment is stunning, and the ambient life shows the true power of the XBox, but the overall gameplay will make you want to put it down after half an hour. It is too long to rent, so I suggest buying this game in a few months when the price goes down.

Great graphics, keeps your attention, and is a great challange. definatly worth buying! It takes skill to figure out which way you must go and to fight with a axion.

THE GOOD:
The graphics and the plot is awesome. The best adventure game I've played yet.

THE BAD:
It gets boring after a while and you can get lost easily. Why do you have to kill the same enemies over and over again.

SUMMARY:
All In all this game is awesome. I've played a lot of adventure games but this one has to be the best one I've played yet.

THE GOOD:
This game is extremely challenging. Finally a game for a girl, where you don't have to push a bunch of buttons reapeatedly in a certain order to be good at it. This game is more for using the best muscle you have -your brain.

THE BAD:
Since the game is not so linear, it makes you travel back and forth between lands searching for different items you need to progress with. So, it can become kind of frustrating if you don't know where something is. However, that is what makes the game so challenging. So I guess it's really not such a bad thing after all.

SUMMARY:
I really enjoyed this game. It was definiatley challenging, and shall I say addicting. I think I sometimes went to sleep dreaming of finding obsidians, or disk fragments. After playing the game that day I always went away strategizing the next move. I never had a game take away so much of my free time. I couldn't put the controller down. My...
