It's a solid platforming adventure that does not involve much depth, but definitely gives fans of the series, as well as the younger sect, a game they can enjoy.
If you played last year's "Avatar: The Last Airbender", you'll know pretty much what to expect from this sequel, although this time around the game looks cleaner, offers new combos, and has a larger list of characters, including Appa, Jet, Toph, Zuko, and Uncle Iroh. [Holiday 2007, p.82]

Avatar: The Last Airbender is an amazing achievement and one of the best games I have ever played. The Puzzles are challenging and diverse and the game has almost zero bugs. The one part of this game that impressed me the most though was the achievements. Avatar has some of the most challenging and distinct achievements I have ever seen in a game. I highly recommend this game to any one who has an Xbox 360.

Play for 100% achievements, it was ok right? Nothing to remember. It could've been worse.

For a licensed game, Avatar: The Last Airbender — The Burning Earth turned out to be a pleasant surprise. While it is ultimately bound by some of its limitations, THQ's development team deserves some praise for at least doing a solid job on the product — other than the ludicrous decision that led to the game's achievements listing.
Button-mashing is strictly generic and offers nothing new for next-gen gamers. The attempts at quick-time events fall flat.
Sporting unintelligible artificial intelligence, a psychotic camera, redundant combat and visuals that look like a high-res version of an early PS2 game, Avatar turns out to be a disappointment.
Avatar is poorly adapted into a poor game with poor visuals. [Jan 2008, p.82]
Rubbish, boring combat. [Issue 27, p.99]
I have one word for this game, why? The puzzles are flat and repetitive, there are alot of bugs and it fails to spark any interest. There have been alot of lazy design decisions too. As you walk around towns character models have a tiny selection of only 2 or three people and they all seem to stand bolt upright and completely still and say the same 3 lines over and over and over again. Generic enemies that you will get bored of fighting very quickly. The only redeeming features are the nice title screen and the boss battles are good. Thats where it ends unfortunately. I suppose you could say that it is good for kids but i'd try and convince them to get something better before conforming to this rubbish. Oh and the instant 1000 points gamerscore? If you are desperate to waste you time on that just rent it. To sum up an epic waste of time that made me feel like i'd played a liscensed title like this a thousand times before.

The in-game cutscenes are absolutely disgusting. When it starts it just teleports you to the scene and stops you mid animation without reseting you( sometimes). This leads to a horribly buggy mess. There are no physics on anything, their mouths don't even move despite the game being fully voice acted, they are stiff as a board with no animation at all and the clothes are always clipping through you. The game has crashed 4 times in the 1 1/2 days i owned it. The combat isnt anything to marvel at but it is decent enough. Gameplay is extremely repetitive, there are no deviations from the original story from the show. There are invisible barriers where there shouldnt be, many accidental softlock locations (for example if you jump into killzone that has an object near it you may infinitely fall into the object and cant even switch characters to get out forcing you to reset), the secrets are an absolute joke, there is 0 replay value. Not to mention this game is EXTREMELY short. I finished it in about 3-4 hours and that was taking my sweet time. 100% it in 6 hours. The only good thing about it are the fully animated cutscenes, they have some if the best facial expressions ive seen on a wii. Other than that, horrible game DO NOT BUY. Get Into The Inferno instead as it is better than both thr last airbender and the burning earth combined (not like that would amount to much anyway).
