Action RPG released at the Xbox launch featuring a hero who masters the four elements. Environments are vast but navigation is confusing, and combat stays monotonous. Ambitious but uneven.

Azurik - Rise of Perathia (Xbox) price, value & rarity
Microsoft action-adventure released at the American Xbox launch in late 2001, ambitious but poorly received for its camera and steep difficulty. Its status as a first-party launch game, despite its flaws, makes it a catalog piece prized by collectors documenting the console's first steps. Desirability rests on that place in the Xbox launch line more than on its reputation, sought as a witness to Microsoft's initial ambition in in-house games.
