Avatar: The Last Airbender for Psp

****Recommended for 10 and under or inexperienced gamers.

I just got this game a few days ago, and generally, I don't like RPGs. Frankly, I suck at them and I'm more of a puzzle person, but this game is pretty straightforward as far as all the details go. (Which I usually get confused by, and end up putting the game down.)

You get to play as Aang, Katara, Haru, and Sokka. At first the other characters are annoying, - as they are weak and unskilled. But as soon as you earn more Chi points, you can up their skill levels for different attacks, or healing powers for Katara. Once Katara is decent at replenishing her chi, you're home free.
You only get to take two characters around at a time, and Katara is kidnapped at first so you have to rely on little potions you pick up, or buy to replenish help when your away from a save point, which will also replenish your life. But after that this game is quite enjoyable.
Like I said, I'm a horrible gamer, so being able to steadily get through this game was really nice. I was able to play for hours at a time without getting bored, and I felt like I was doing really well considering.

Anyway, all in all - if you're any good at games like this, then I wouldn't recommend it - but if you're wanting to get this for a child, especially for someone younger - or who hasn't played too many games before it's the perfect game.

SPOILER WARNING... but the story is weak and predictable anyway...
Awful! I bought it because I just got a PSP and I am somewhat of a fan of the Avatar series. I was unimpressed with it within the first few minutes but decided that I would give it it's fair chance and play it all the way through to the end, hoping it would get better or at least more interesting. It got worse, if anything...
* Graphics are unimpressive, Aang looks like Charlie Brown
* Dialog is just plain stupid
* Story line was boring and predictable
* Story was almost completely unrelated to the Avatar series, It was about the gang (with Horu as the token earth bender, I guess this came out before Toph was introduced) coming across some suspiciously sophisticated robot-like machines that appear to have bending-like powers and they investigate where they came from. They quickly discover that they are made by a prisoner of the fire nation. They spring her and then she continues to make the machines with the intention of fighting the fire nation and the kids decide to stop her because the machines have hurt some civilians... That's it. No twists. No surprises. No cameos by interesting characters.
* Opportunities to save are very infrequent, so you have to set aside time for gaming. If you have to put it away unexpectedly, you will likely be nowhere near a save marker.
* Aang has no Avatar powers, only air bending
* Ending was weak and unsatisfying
* The box says that you travel through all the nations of the Avatar's world, I don't recall it ever going to the fire nation, which would have been the most interesting.

The only thing that I even remotely liked about it was the music, some of it was pretty good. Who ever composed it really liked the baritone sax, and so do I.

Don't by it unless you are an obsessive Avatar fan and have to see this monstrosity for your self.

This game was so boring that I barely made it to the 30 minute mark. It was one of my worst gaming experiences ever, with the only saving grace being you can turn it off. The controls are unweildy, the graphics are awful, and the dialogue was inane.

I rented this game from Blockbuster before buying it, and wish I hadn't even wasted money doing that. Don't get me wrong; I absolutely LOVE Avatar, but this game is awful. I've played it for about 15 minutes now and I'm not interested to play any more than that.

For starters, the POV is stupid. You're looking down on Aang as though you're in the air. And for whatever reason he can't jump! I've never seen a video game where the protaganist couldn't jump. Anyway, in the first few minutes you find your way to the North Pole Village and start running a bunch of stupid errands. First you have to find a missing villager, which is basically you running around trying to figure out where to look. You don't actually find him, you just find his stuff, which you take back to the village. Your next task is to bring some junk to a fisherman for his wife, and that's where I cut the game off.

I don't recommend this for anyone, adults, kids, fans....no one. The graphics are horrible for a PSP format game, and game play is boring. This game is awful, and I can only hope the 2nd installment is greatly improved 100 fold.

My 7 year old son loved this game. Played it for about 2 months and completed the entire Quest ;)

I purchased this game for my nephew and he loved it. I recommend this game.

My son and I love Avatar, so this game was a no-brainer...supposedly. Its very slow paced and clunky. Where's the action man!?

the gameplay on the game is awsome but the graphics arent the best. the customazation of armor is cool and costumation of bending moves is cool. if you like avatar buy this game! :)
