    On dirait un jeu Lidl ou Leader Price... vous parlez d'une exclu ! à mourir de rire si ce n'était pas aussi navrant : artistiquement affreux, un monde générique et sans âme, graphiquement indigne de la Xbox, jouabilité d'une médiocrité incroyable, version française sabrée. Un échec total.

    As commented in the reviews, formulaic and predictable. Possibly the least dynamic or exciting collect-em-up ever created. Whoever it was that compared it with Zelda must've had their eyeballs in back to front. This game just makes me want to fall asleep to avoid the monotony of hammering the A button to defeat poorly animated foes, assuming I can even see them in some of the pitch As commented in the reviews, formulaic and predictable.

    Sports one of the most mind-numbingly frustrating camera systems in recent memory. [Spring 2002, p.92]

    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.

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