Avatar by James Cameron's: The Game Review

AVATAR

Oh sure, there is a lot more to it than that, but that’s the crux of the game. Avatar: The Game is based on the pending movie James Cameron’s Avatar, a lushly animated film that sports some recognizable faces such as Sigourney Weaver. That quality of work has been transferred to the video-game in a manner that will provide a treat for the eyes.

As the game begins you are the rookie on Pandora.Your goal is to run around to complete some stock missions and soon into the game you are able to transfer your mind into your Na’vi avatar.You will meet up with the Professor heading the Na’vi avatar program and he immediately foreshadows what may lie ahead when he says you will either be the best of friends or the worst of enemies. Why? Because you get the chance to determine what side you will be fighting on – you can either go back to the humans and fight the Na’vi, or you can take the role of the Na’vi against the human invaders.

Avatar: The Game is a title of tradeoffs. It has the base concepts to be more than it ended up being and yet it is still manages to provide a decent gaming experience. That it has a strong movie tie-in is certain to spark interest in this title.

Reviews :-
1.] A nice game to look at and the animations are solid. Come combat scenarios, particularly playing as a Na’vi against the humans (think Ewoks against Imperial mechanical walkers and you have an idea of the scope that this game tries to feed to players) provides some nice contrary elements.


2.] Some camera problems and a somewhat predictable story throw up a few roadblocks. Still the game throws out a nice bit of eye candy, has enjoyable challenges and combat elements involving the more primitive Na’vi against the advanced weaponry of the humans. The movie tie-in will no doubt help the game.


3.] The targeting can be a touch off and the camera angles do not help the game. The interface, though, is serviceable enough and players should not find understanding the layout too intimidating.

so enjoy it .and make it for fun.
