  • Summary: Based on James Cameron's film, the game takes you deep into the heart of Pandora, an alien planet that is beyond imagination. Gamers encounter the Na'vi, Pandora's indigenous people and discover creatures and other wildlife the likes of which have never been seen in the world of video games before. When conflict erupts between the RDA Corporation, a space-faring consortium in search of valuable resources, and the Na'vi, players find themselves thrust into a fight for the heart of a planet and the fate of a civilization.

    I really enjoyed the combat especially on the Na'vi side. The multiplayer was cool with its well designed levels and various modes.

    Ubisoft Montreal has crafted one of the better licensed efforts we've seen in a while, but a weak story, poor pacing and a few minor gameplay flaws keep Avatar from competing with the likes of far superior, recent third-person efforts such as Assassin's Creed II and Batman: Arkham Asylum.

    Avatar does look awesome (even better, I'm told, when you're playing in Stereoscopic 3D) but there's so little fun here that your money is better spent elsewhere.

    This game is sooo underated, its not even funny. Gamespy 40? Come on! I played the multiplayer and first 4 levels and I had fun. Sure its not reinventing anything but heck its not half as bad as the critics seems to be saying. Rent it and see.… Expand

    For a game that promised to take you through the same emotional path as the movie, this game falls flat. It's hard to feel attached to such one-dimensional characters. The game asks you to pick a side too early in the game, before you really have a change to identify with both sides. Combat is fun and the special skills add a layer of strategy, but it doesn't make up for the flimsy storyline.… Expand

    The game sucks, I guess, that this game would be a good first shooter for younger kids... but compared to any of the AAA titles that are out there (Gears of war, Uncharted, Call of duty) this game is complete garbage, plus the main thing, who actually has a TV that can do 3D??? They cost over 1,000$… Expand
