Azurik?
Azurik: Rise of Perathia - this game totally sucks. It's supposed to be the worst game on Xbox, and with my experience I can only agree. It got me thinking, how come VGC hasn't reviewed it. So... why? I mean it can't be about money, people will pay to get rid of Azurik. I understand that everyone has to take care of their sanity, but still.

I demand the critic give Azurik a review! This issue remains important!

I could not let this injustice stand, especially after 16 years.
I bought a copy off ebay for a couple of bucks, and opted NOT to get the protection plan.
This had better be really bad!!

Never heard of this, kinda curious how "Bad" this is, given that Grabbed By the Goulies is usually the poster child for Worst Xbox Game
Pulled up a YouTube vid to look at this, looks like a PSX/N64-type 3rd Person action game, though not sure if there are control issues or if there were issues with the player and their set-up.

Nah, that's Drake of the 99 Dragons. It's often compared to Superman 64, despite being a more complete package.
But the critic should review it for himself, just to be absolutely certain that the mainstream isn't overlooking a hidden gem.

Game had a re-release on Steam few years back, so somebody must have liked it.

Re: Azurik?
I really liked the demo to it in the Official Xbox Magazine. No clue if the actual game is all that bad but I really enjoyed the demo and never understood all the hate. Most likely a few people played it and didn't like it and then it became an echo chamber to be cool to hate on it. I remember another forum poster on here making fun of it years ago and he never played it either.
That's cool if you tried it and didn't like it. All good. I really like twin stick shooters and it carried a similar vibe.

It's HARDLY a masterpiece, but Ghoulies wasn't really all that bad.
