2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 2, 2006

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Video Game)

Avatar is an engaging TV show. The Avatar videogame is a generic RPG with Avatar characters and Wii remote support tacked on.

Most disapointing is the magic system. A central aspect of the show is the magic system - earth/air/water/fire "benders" cast spells using martial-arts-like motions, and I was really looking forward to using the Wii remote to cast spells using the same kind of cool motions as the characters use, making different gestures to cast different spells. Unfortunately, Avatar is a completely generic RPG, with controls that don't take advantage of the Wii remote at all - it feels like they tacked on some trivial remote waving after the game was done.

Aside from that, the game is generic "run around, have one sentence 'conversations' with people who tell you what to do next, kill everything that moves, and collect treasure". Of course, none of this makes any sense for Avatar, because the characters in the show do what they want, don't kill anything unless there's no other choice, and never collect treasure.

Unfortunately, while an Avatar videogame is a fantastic idea, this game gets everything wrong. I can only hope that someone with some imagination gets the rights to do another Avatar videogame for the Wii.

Being a fan of the Avatar show on nickelodeon, i had to buy the wii version of this game... it seems to me the game was rushed into being relased on time with the wii console... Playing with all the characters and have them bend the elements is the only fun part that made me give this game 3 stars... looking at the characters from the top the entire time makes this game feel like i'm playing some nintendo game from the 90's.... so when comparing it to zelda twilight princess then this game is a complete bust... if you are a fan of the avatar series, then this game brings some level of fun though...

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine recently and mentioned that with the revolutionary gesture control possibilities with the Wii, it should be worth getting a Wii just for Avatar. Unfortunately, gestures from the show aren't really employed. Furthermore, I'm a fan of the show and the game doesn't follow anything that makes sense in the show's storyline whatsoever. I was looking forward to traveling the world mastering the elements as Ang in my living room making the gestures myself, but it just doesn't work out that way. In my opinion the game would probably have been more fun 10 years ago and for someone that hadn't seen the show. The Wii is still great, however.
