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

"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.

"Power through some early dullness and potential confusion, and you'll find a grand adventure in a rich and colorful game world." Review by Tom Chick 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.

"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."

Reviewed by Rob, [5/10]. "Azurik is definitely not for everyone."

"It may be a bit strange to handle at first, but once you get the feel of it, Azurik will astound you time and time again with it's lush graphics, wonderful sound, and massive environments." Review by Peter Calderwood with screen shots.
