    The game is flawed and a bit repetive, but stays faithful to the story + it's the best release from Ubisoft Montreal and that deserves a little credit.

    I like this game. Sure it has the same camera and graphics problems that Tombraider Underworld has, but I love that game and this one is fun to. No blood, guts, and gore means this is a shooter that I can actually share with my kids. My advice is to give it a try and decide for yourself whether you like it or not.

    This is a very enjoyable game, Pandora is a stunning place with its beautiful graphics, sound and many things to explore, something I can let my children play.

    It's one of few games that use an advanced game engine,Dunia,that has been used in Far Cry 2.All the graphics,sounds and anything that's not related to storyline is amazing.

    I like this game very much. The graphics are very good, so the level design. The gameplay is fun, partly because of the open-world ideea (you can explore very vast landscapes). Avatar is very fun to play, because you can choose to play between the GDR and the Na'vi. This game deserves to be played by any shooter fan!

    I think this is a good game, you can choise 2 different histories and you can ride animals or drive vehicules you can live the pandora planet, and in steam only costs 25€ i think this is one of the best games i play ever.

    Pretty good game. I am so glad my PC is powerful so it can render the amazing graphics this game offers. The game play can get a little repetitive, especially when you need to keep finding shards. Voice work is decent, but could be better. I like the fact that the game lets you choose either RDA or Navi, but deep down the gameplay is the same, even though the RDA is more of a shooter and the Navi part is an adventure game. Highly recommended Expand

    I give the game a "10". The graphic engine is very good, the level design is very good. The Risk-like mini game is also nice to play too. My only complaint is that it needs to have an expansion or more levels. It gives some gameplay, but I'd like to see more of Pandora, perhaps more of it at night. All and all worth the cost of admission. I just wished it had a longer storyline.

    I don't know what happened to the "professional" crtics on this one but this missed the boat on this one. This game is way fun and exciting for your buck. The graphics are great and I found the story really interesting. It seems everything they judge now has to be 'Origins Age' blablabla or its no good. Thanks and peace out :)

    BAD- iffy model work(mainly on the Na'vi/avatars) with some bland textures. unimaginative missions. weak story and characters. GOOD-Solid graphics over all. Superb art design. decent shooting mechanics. tons of content with 2 lengthy campaigns(8-10hours each), multiplayer and conquest modes. Addictive xp and unlock system. Addictive and fascinating Pandopedia unlock system. OVERALL-A flawed, but still solid shooter and one of the best movie games made yet with tons of content. If your a fan of the film and Pandora then it comes highly recommended, just dont expect a masterpiece. Expand

    Technically well made. Good combat, fluent movement, very good GFX, awesome sceneries, 3D! General attention to tech. details. Gameplay average. Story is shallow. Linear gameplay (but still fun). Ending is nothing special. If they worked on the story more carefully, it would be a truly good game.

    Brilliant! Addictive and gorgeous. Love the gameplay. Absolutely stunning environment but gameplay is so much fun. You can fire arrows from ledges and trees at your enemies and there's just so much variety.Once I began playing this I just loved it. I bought the Limited Edition and I am very happy with it. It's worth every cent . Eye candy is terrific but the gameplay is so much FUN with a capitol F. Expand

    My fav! like Rachet and Clank, but getting routinish, like Maximo, but coulda been made more playable with better save system -- LOVE this game, only sorry i am near the end ... practically nothing i would like changed ... great deal of flexibility in playing, good guides ... i do wish the 'fire/slash/bash' button was the X or O as in my other games (R1 could be the 'back' button... other than that, nadda. Love the graphics in HD, and response is generally good at all times. The first bit of play is sorta frustrating til you get the hang of things and the game could drive you nuts if you are not a thinker... gotta love it. Expand

    When I saw the movie trailer, I thought the game will be epic.... I was wrong.... After all, I am dissapointed of this game. It have some fancy gameplay, and 2 very differe. nt sides, but it gets repepetive and boring after a while. Some good ideas, but need more work. Worth buying? I'll say no. You can probably just borrow it for a couple of days, but not more.

    Its alright, too much too bother playing through it a second time, i suggest spending the 40+ dollars going to the local cinema and watching the movie 6 times...

    I love the movie but I can't get the feelin in the game. They missed that the Na'vi are able to swing through the jungle like a monkey and behave like cats when they hunt. This is more like robots walkin arround. There is no dynamic in the game you cant climb a rock cant jump on it, no you have to take the road. On the other side the graphics are very nice they used the movie sound to give some atmosphere and it works. Don't expect a "great" game but more something for fans I guess. This could be a wonderful game if they would have used up more time for physics and a little more time foroptimization of camera and controlling. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a flawed game. To have a game with No boss sides is wrong. When they do have boss fights it is too easy. Some plot details like having an ally die off camera with no explanation. E ending if your RDA but side with the na vi is the same one as the one as the na bi ending. This is a must not buy game. It is just too flawed. Expand

    The gameplay feels like it needs more work. Loose controls, bad melee combat, weak mission design, and a wonky camera dull the experience.
  2. This disappointing film tie-in transforms the magical into the mundane.
  3. While you can easily drone through this game a second time due to the two distinct factions, lots of annoying flaws crop up that make it difficult to warrant a second playthrough.
