Goddamn another movie game, why do these keep happening to me? Oh well, let's get this over with. I mean I was promised an Avatar game, and I was duped and given this thing, everybody knows that The Last Airbender series is way better than this movie, though not the Last Airbender movie, god damn it M. Night Shamalangadingdong.
STORY
This doesn't follow the movie but rather take place two years before it. The story follows around you, you pick between several female or male skins with their own avatars and off you go, though your character's surname is Ryder no matter what you do like Shepard in Mass Effect. Ryder is sent to Pandora to find a mole who is feeding the Na'vi information. During this you swap between human and na'vi ultimately leading you to a choice where you either remain with the humans or join with the Na'vi and become their chosen one.
Main Character
While your main character's looks and decisions depend on you, the player, ultimately you will seek out the same magical power but what you do with it depends on your choices.
Art style
The art style is the same as the movie's cgi jungle and I really like the art style.
Gameplay
Primarily this game is a third person shooter, both campaigns have their own weapons, such as machine guns, shotguns, pistols, grenade launchers for humans and clubs, swords, bows and one human machine gun for the Na'vi. You can use four weapons at a time, but you can swap them out in the pause menu, except for the handguns and bow as it is stuck on the up button. Pressing the lb button and pressing one of the letter buttons allows you to use one of 4 powerups for a limited time which you can also swap out on the pause menu, this includes, healing, invisibility, sprinting and all manners of Halo ripoffs in Space Vietnam. What yes, Pandora is Space Vietnam, just fucking luck at the jungles and the goddamn movie and second just look at this armour and tell me what it reminds you of...
If you said Master Chief, you win, if you said anything else, sorry but you suck. This isn't the armour you start out with, you unlock it later in the game through leveling up, yes, you level up and each new level gives you a new powerup, weapon, armour or just levels them up. Ammo is not unlimited except for the melee weapons and the handguns and throughout the human campaign you'll find machines that will refill your ammo for all your guns while the Na'vi have to settle for picking up ammo from fallen enemies. There is a slight problem with this game and it's the campaigns.
While the human campaign livens up the levels with various bosses, the Na'vi campaign as precisely how many bosses:
Yeah but I'm sure no one'll notice. But seriously, out of the 2 campaigns would you be more interested in playing, you'd say Na'vi right, so which one should we put more effort if not the same in, FUCKING NA'VI, YOU DON'T HALF ASS YOUR STAR ATTRACTION! YOU ARE NOT SATURDAY NIGHT TV.
I mean you have several vehicles in both story lines and care to guess has the better vehicles, HUMANS! Okay yeah, we use machines and the Na'vi don't, but it's an alien world, what is to stop you coming up with more aliens, I mean it's not expected that we saw every single lifeform on the planet in that movie, there are literally thousands of creatures on our planet that haven't been discovered and yet nope, we saw all life on Pandora, planets don't work that way, alien or not.
I mean the stories despite these differences are nearly the same even with their own base you repeatedly visit such as a military base for the humans and inside a gigantic tree for the Na'vi. Of course be prepared to die a lot, enemies easily swarm you and when you do have help they are next to useless, you do pick up 'cell samples' which when you collect 10 give you another life, but it doesn't matter if you do and have to respawn you go back to a checkpoint with the enemy damage and deaths the same and you just have to walk back where you were, so there's no real punishment for death which despite the mass dying, makes the game really easy, okay I know the Bioshock games do this but at least they have a legitimate reason for it, this really doesn't.
Also with the game is a multiplayer mode which I have no idea how it works because no one is playing it and a tagged on Conquest mode which despite trying to play it makes absolutely no sense, though you don't have to do it so they can bugger off.
I'm being serious this is so needlessly complicated, there are guides for this game online with more people searching out this mode then the campaign which is no surprise as the main game, I needed no guide at any point, but this thing, I feel like I need a class on it, like it should be taught in school or something like doing your own taxes.
Anywho this game is not a bad movie game, I mean I've played way worse, but it's no good game, it's not going in the scroll, because it's just average. Next game review, Avatar: The Burning Earth, yes a real Avatar game, oh and fuck you M.Night!
