Avatar : Is it worth the wait?
Now usually games that are released as spin offs to movies suffer from being overshadowed by the movie and thus a lot of the time are complete rubbish.
This time however enough has been done to make sure doesn't go the same way.
Set on the planet Pandora the human race once again have to battle for survival. This is a third person shooter with a bit of action adventure thrown in. My initial demo of this was on a 3D tv and I've gotta say I was quite impressed.
Graphically it rocks, with Pandora looking every bit the rainforest planet. However the Game play is a bit awkward, targetting takes a bit of getting used to and gamers with little patience might get frustrated quickly. Jumping into one of the vehicles in the game makes for an easier control method and much fun is to be had in the big mechsuit (you basically control a big robot with big guns, needless to say my kind of action!).
This game will probably do well just from association with the movie but that said it does stand the test of being a good game in its own right.There's currently a lot of competition in the shoot em ups arena but I gotta say this still comes out with flying colours.
Available on: PC, PS3, X360
