I bought this for my daughter as a holiday present. Having been an Atari/Nintendo kid myself, and a gamer for life, I am used to games based on movies or TV series being somewhere between slightly and extremely lame. I am really glad to see that someone somewhere has started a new trend - making actual, playable, enjoyable games that are fantastic independent of the show or movie they're based upon. Into the Inferno is an excellent example of this new trend.

In this game you fight through the plot of the show, from the beginning of Book 3, episode 1 to Aang's final showdown with the Firelord. The main activity of the game is puzzle-solving using the various bending styles from the show - moving the characters through various areas to advance the plot. When I say puzzles I mean puzzles based on bending. For example: you are moving through caverns with Toph and Aang. You come to a large rock in your path, and slightly beyond it another large rock. With Toph you can gather rocks to get you over the first one, but there is nothing to climb onto to get over the second one. You will use Toph's earthbending to get onto the first and Aang's wind blast to blow both of them to the next rock. You will have played as all of the main characters by the end of the game. You usually play in pairs, like Toph & Aang, Aang & Katara, Zuko & Sokka, Zuko & Aang, etc. Each level has you solving puzzles to make your way to the end goal of the level, usually a prominent bad guy from the show. To defeat the bad guy you need to figure out what the trick is - how to combine the abilities of the two characters at your disposal to achieve the effect that will beat down your opponent. As you move through the different levels of the game Aang gains new bending styles, like in the show, and you learn to use them in combination with your other abilities and characters. Eventually you will face Ozai and use everything you have learned to defeat him. There are fun cut scenes between each level that advance the story, too.

I have loved playing this with my daughter. It is tons of fun, and I really enjoy using the bending styles from the show. The design is very well done. Actually I came here to buy one for myself - just thought I'd give my 2¢ first. ^_^

I got this game b/c my kids and I love watching Avatar on Nicktoons, and based on other reviews it seemed like it would be fun. It really was a good time. The game plays something like an RPG, but it progresses you from episode to episode. Certain aspects seemed simplified for a younger audience, but some of the puzzles were a real challenge and I enjoyed them very much. There was also a fair bit of variety to the puzzles. Part of what made the game interesting is that as you go through the levels you have different pairings of characters, and you have to figure out how to use the different bending abilities (+ Sokka's boomerang) together. There aren't a lot of hidden things, and not really any side quests, but I have played it through a few times and still haven't found all of the white lotus tiles! The game is short, and I sort of wish they would release a version with all three games from the three seasons together, but for the $13 I paid on Amazon this was great.

My 10 yr old grandson says this game is fun but a little bit hard. He likes that the many special abilities and the story but says the Boss fights are very hard. He would recommend this game to others.

Great game for all ages. The graphics could have been better, but the game itself was well worth the money.

im 14, and i liked this game a lot! each level is like a puzzle. your trying to get through a maze, kind of. even the volleyball game is fun if you have someone else to play it with. there isnt much fighting in the game, but you can bend the elements, which is fun. you can control two characters at once, and switch back and forth. i think this game shouldve been longer, because i finished it really quickly. also, the last boss level was too easy. but other than those minor faults, this game is really fun. i recommend it to people from age 8+.

even when I ordered this close to Christmas, it was delivered quickly and was just what my granddaughter wanted. A good buying experience.
