My six-year-old boy is a huge fan of the Avatar series. My wife and I enjoy it as well. What's not to like about a series where the main character frets about defeating the big bad without killing him? My son also enjoys playing video games (naturally, within appropriate limits). We bought this game for him for Christmas.

It took him a little bit of getting used to. To "bend," or manipulate, the elements requires pointing at the screen and holding the B button. Meaning, there are plenty of times when you have to move around while bending, which took him a few days to get right. It worked out fine, since I played with him. Playing as second player is a convenient drop-in/drop-out function.

The puzzles are either EXTREMELY simple or fairly difficult, and there's no real relationship between where they occur in the game and their difficulty level (some of the most difficult parts to figure out happen in the first few levels). Bosses can be VERY difficult -- even I can't defeat some of them without invincibility. The difficulty level is a major mistake they made in creating a kids' game. Still, we just bypassed the problem with the invincibility cheat (just enter the code 34737253 at Ember Island). My son was pretty aggravated, since he generally beats games without cheats (Force Unleashed was no problem for him).

The story follows the Fire chapter of the Avatar series fairly closely. It is, however, very short. The addition of a few more levels would have been nice.

In short, this game will please Avatar fans. However, it's FAR too short and too difficult (and too easy, which is a dumb combination) to warrant a purchase by most gamers.

I know this game is written for a younger generation, so I'm willing to get past the very cartoony graphics of the cut scenes. But the gameplay is fun, and the movements required to "bend" make it pretty realistic. All in all, a good game. I recommend it.

Okay, i bought this game and payed $10 shipping to get it as fast as i could. I am a big fan of avatar. I was not expecting a very long game because Burning Earth was short as well. The bending in this game is way better and the Burning Earth. it was much harder and boss fights are designed better. this game only had 11 chapters at least 5 of which were the boss fights. This game may have been short enough for me to beat the day i got it, but it was well worth the money.

My kids are huge Avatar fans, so were really excited to get the game. However, the game is difficult to move through, and the bending is tricky. The controls can't/won't "control" the game very well, so the frustrations end up making the kids end up giving up many times and just putting a different game in. Big disappointment for the Avatar fans in the house and the Mom who paid for it.

We've tried playing a few times with the kids, who are huge Avatar fans. We just can't seem to get the controls for "bending" right, no matter how many times we've tried. The kids are frustrated into tears, and I am just annoyed. They've declared it "no good" and won't play anymore. I pick it up every now and then and try to figure out what I've been missing - I can't seem to get it.

My daughter love to play these games. I like to watch. It is not quite what I expected, haveing more fighting than I think it needs, but it is a good game.

We got this game for the whole family. My chhildren have the whole Avatar series at least three times and loe it. Wile they play the game they recall parts of the show and love the corrilation. The graphics are great and though it is not an easy game my children ejoy the challenges as does my husband.

The graphics in this game are actually quite good so that's a plus. The fighting and bending isn't to bad (although the bending is a little clunky and can be quite frustrating until you get used to it.) I like the slow motion moves near the end of a fight. The puzzles were sometimes more frustrating than challenging and I don't think that was balanced well.

The Camera Angle was many times to far away from the characters to really tell completely what was going on.

All in all it was a good attempt but not quite there yet.

I wonder if any more Avatar Video Games will be coming out, unfortunately I don't think a great Last Airbender Video game will ever really be made :(

Ok! When I got this game with my dad i was very exited and i had a right to be. I love the show its amazing. Im a thirteen(almost fourteen) year old boy and this game for me was actually very hard but super awesome. In fact i had to use a cheat to unlock all the chapters. The main gameplay is fun and confusing. Most of the bosses aren't to hard. The bending aspect of the game is fun but, if you have played the game before you will notice that all of the bending moves the different characters do are the same just in different colors. For example Katara's water-bending is the same as Zuko's fire-bending just in different colors. This may be a little disappointing for those true avatar fans. All in all this is a very good game! I recommend it for ages 7-14 or maybe even 15(only if they truly love the show like i do). You would be a fool not to buy this game. Its super fun for me, my friends, and my family. Avatar is recreated well in this game(not like the last two games)! Just don't buy this game for DS and that pretty much sums it up. Also their is not walkthrough available for this game online for this game platform. I was disappointed in that! also here are all the cheats to beat the game in basically one minute-enter all these cheats at ember island- 52993833-All chapters
27858343-All concept art 34737253-invincibility 34737253-All shop items available
66639224-Maximum coins -to go into the avatar state(a state in which kills everything) press a two times and b once
Its a great game

I love the show and this games makes it so you feel like you're actually flying on a glider like Aang, bending the elements like all the benders, some aspect are challenging, not an "easy" game due to figuring out what to do next, it takes some thinking, but but anyone could play it.
