Just a little side note to James Cameron: Spend a little more time and money on your games. For this reason I'm giving it a forgiving 7.0 / 10. Only recommended for those who loved the films and where immersed by it's imagination will dig this title. This game is a pretty decent third person shooter that has a decent length and a great IP to boost. Useless features aside, Avatar is not a waste of time.
So, to the 0.000000001% of people in South Africa who can afford a 3D, enjoy! It looks just fine on a standard HDTV. By now you're probably aware that the game has a 3D function that works with 3D TV's. The motion blur rolling is so sweet in fact, all I wanted to do is roll around Pandora! I sincerely hope Army of Two has learnt a lesson on this frontier. Climbing into cars and riding those horsey things looks really good, but the rolling is outstanding. The animations on the whole, are impressive. You begin to feel as if you know the place and there's a sense of belonging and ownership of a world that you were once a passive watcher. With Forrest Gump AI, the brilliant world of Pandora quickly takes centre stage. You get to take part in each race and discover their secrets and unravel the colourful world of Pandora. Being able to select between 2 campaigns essentially, each with a solid enough length, means you get 2 games in one. The games features aren't outstanding by any means, but the length of the game is impressive. Just kidding They really could've penned something a little more original though. Without giving too much away, you basically choose which side you want to fight as: Either human or Na'vi in a tumultuous moral dilemma. The story, although a prequel to the film, is retarded similar. You play Able Ryder, a dude whose genetic make up is beneficial to the making of a Na'vi Avatar. As far as movie tie-ins go, this is has to be one of the best renditions I've come across. You also have a better understanding of the universe and an appreciation for the Na'vi that can't really be gained by simply playing the game. What are these tall blue people? Why are you turning into one of them? On the other hand, watching the movie first gives the game new appeal as you feel you're contributing in some way to the events that you enjoyed so much in the film. The only problem is I don't suggest you play this before you watch the film as the universe is taken presumption. The Avatar game is a prequel to the film, setting up the events of what happens in the film. Welcome to Pandora: The vicious but beautiful brainchild of the mighty James Cameron. It's a high-tech, epic blockbuster (check out On Screen's film review) with an awesome universe to play with that potentially lends itself to an awesome game. Not as bad as everyone thinks: The Avatar film has grossed crazy box office figures and has been turned into an instant classic.
