Avatar: The Videogame
The Avatar Game for 1983 was a terrible version of “ET: The Game” for the Atari 2600. In those days gamers decided that they should escape movie based video games.
So, with little hope I had left on good adaptations of cinema to the art of pounding buttons in front of a screen, I got a few days ago to have a share of the company presentation “James Cameron’s Avatar: The Videogame” for Xbox 360. Don’t forget to say that we are expecting Avatar PC Game and Nintendo DS Avatar The Game as well with the Xbox360 version.
Avatar Game: My first impression: It looks spectacular. The moon Pandora (where it develops the epic battle between humans and greedy by exploiting Na’vi, indigenous giant blue careful in protecting nature) leaps from the screen with an impressive display of green foliage, exotic plants, animals light and a host of other natural features which are undoubtedly the most impressive of the game.
And of course, if those responsible for this are none other than the team at Ubisoft Montreal, who have in their curriculum, games such as sagas “Assassin’s Creed” and “Tom Clancy’s Game Series”. Additionally, Dunia Graphics Engine delivers some nice graphics specially for this pc game which similar was used for “Far Cry 2 pc game” before.
After being struck by how lucia, drink a drink and eat a gingerbread, it was time to play. Any game can look good today, but that important questions still attacking my mind would Avatar to destroy the greatest of games based on movies, or perpetuate it?
You start to play like Ryder, who can be male or female depending on your choice, a soldier in the GDR, who comes to care for the “human interest” on the moon Pandora (Pandora Planet), of hostile savages, who only want to protect the environment.
Avatar PC Game
In Avatar PC Game, with different, but predictable, weapons (machine gun, shotgun, dual pistols, grenade launchers, etc.), you are sent to fulfill various missions such as repairing an appliance, collect things, repairing things and more, the truth, I feel that Ubisoft Montreal times fell short in terms imagine several types of missions (at least in this game and “Assassin’s Creed I).
Finally, the game becomes a bit slow when you discover not only that the missions are somewhat repetitive, tedious to meet in addition (because of the long journey from point A to B, without vehicles would be difficult to hold) and that there Avatar Game enemies at first, but also what might be a great title free scan, marveling to follow the colorful setting of Pandora (sandbox style) is enclosed in defined paths to follow, that offer options, not freedom.
By embodying the human soldier, the game is a third-person shooter completely mundane. It has a manual adjustment of white, which unfortunately lost its grace when to shoot at enemies that are glued to you all the time, or when pulling it out of unfriendly beasts chasing you, or ALWAYS. Moreover, what has become an almost “standard” of the shooter genre, the cover behind objects, was dropped for this title.
When playing as a Na’vi (rather as the avatar of one) is supposed to have more options as melee combat with large sticks and call a swarm of insects to assist you, but I managed to get this far. We do outreach to do with the avatar was riding an animal like a horse (with very stiff animations, to be next gen game) and jump like Mirage man to avoid hostile animals, which is quite useful.
Another thing I like was the lack of consistency between different scenarios to tell the story. For example, combat does not feel the “urgency” that one should experience in a battle for your life. However, in scenes where the emotional burden should prevail, seems absent. The most obvious example is the time to become a Na’Vi through the project Avatar. The kinematics was more or less like this:
“Player sits on a stretcher, will be white screen. Player stands as a continuous Na’Vi the game” Ok … that was anti climatic and kills passions, are not supposed to be a prequel? And that’s another one of its drawbacks, the limited information given in the game and its own elements, of Pandora, and overall, the universe “Avatar” (though I must confess that if there is an encyclopedia on the moon, called conveniently ” Pandorapedia “)
At first glance, “Avatar” is not a bad game, but is one too mundane, from the pile. It appears with nothing new or interesting apart from its graphics (which is nothing new, with titles like “Lost Planet 2″), and moreover, misses the mark on key factors of gender “3rd person shooter”
Taking advantage of proximity to the film’s release in cinemas - 18 December - Ubisoft has already prepared videojueguil version of Avatar, and shows its potential in a spectacular trailer (Version for PC / PS3 / Xbox 360), increasing potential if we have a team that supports 3D Ready HDTV.
Beyond its complete story mode, the title will feature an impressive online multiplayer mode that includes 10 maps and 5 game modes and 16-player simultaneous action. The salt of this type is the struggle between humans and Na’vi the GDR, a combat fire power of stealth, magic and melee.
We must clarify that in the Wii version are not going to find many technical showcase - and only have access to Na’Vi - but the title will make full use the potential of the console controller and even the Wii Balance Board.
If you have already chosen sides can be the first to visit the magical world of Pandora, a riot of imagination and spectacle.

Its a great game for an hour. After that, you realise how repetitive it really is, I think I managed about 2.5 hours in the end. Big let down IMO.

Avatar meets with remarkable efficiency in their gaming experience, and offers a very decent film adaptation game. In these times graphics and ambition to find a product like this is quite a surprise, and does so with a degree of individual campaign approach very successful and thanks to a good multiplayer.

I love this game, tremendous and the characters are unique, i hope the movie will be as well as the game

AVATAR
Hi, The Movie was good. I think the Game will also be the Same. Need to try it.
Loved the movie, Just played the DEMO my daughter wanted to watch me try it.
Anyhow we were both let down, All you do is go around and destroy the plants, animals along with the Avatar people.
I thought it was Sad!
I already seen the movie and it was great, I hope the game has the same value with the movie
This is just at the guy who played Demo with daughter bla bla bla. You do realise you can play with the Na’vi too, right?
As an avid gamer I am always looking for new games to play a nd avatar is right up my alley. Thank you for this well written review. I will get it in a couple days

I started playing this game before i even got to see the movie, (tickets was sold out for close to a month in South Africa cinemas) but eventually got to see the 3D one last weekend. Although the game an movie story lines are completely different i enjoyed both of them to the fullest. I have put in some serious gaming hours into this game, firstly attempting the human campaign whereafter the Na’Vi one followed. Found that the human campaign (in my opinion) was the best one to play owing to the fact that you have more fire power in your arsenal and earn more experience points which lead to the unlockable items. Making use of ground vehicles, and flying the Scorpion and Dragon was more interesting to me than the Ikran and dire horse in the Na’Vi campaign (and much easier too). Overall gameplay is fantastic, just the scenery of Pandora is an experience (especially playing it in 3D) but the only setback that i found to the game was the ending of each of the campaigns, expected more to happen, but even with the “setback” i started it all over again. A big thanks to the developers of this title, well worth all the money spent to get the title and proper add-on equipment to play it..
James Cameron is a great man, I remember Titanic, that was the best movie I had ever seen it those days, and now he did it again!
Avatar 2010 is the best film I see in the last years, I am very excited about Avatar 2010 Game. I see that it has a pc version. But I see that it is new 2010 game so I am not sure if it can work on my computer, it is a Toshiba Laptop which I bought in 2008 I am not sure about the specifications but it is running windows vista. Please let me know if Avatar 2010 PC Game works on my pc, I want to buy and try it,

An avatar is a computer user’s representation of himself/herself or alter ego, whether in the form of a three-dimensional model used in computer games, a two-dimensional icon (picture) or a one-dimensional username used on Internet forums and other communities, or a text construct found on early systems such as MUDs. It is an object representing the user. The term “avatar” can also refer to the personality connected with the screen name, or handle, of an Internet user. This sense of the word was coined by Neal Stephenson in 1992’s Snow Crash who co-opted it from the Sanskrit word avatāra which is a concept similar to that of incarnation.
After watching the movie Avatar , I am getting more interest in playing the Avatar PC game because of the adaptability of the game with the movie in a kind of imagination ,so I am enjoying it playing .
I can’t stand the whole Avatar thing. Ever since publicity and marketing began to haunt the media with the movie, I got sick of it. Maybe this game is a chance for a new perspective/view of this universe, maybe. I’ll probably try it.
I’ve just saw the movie Avatar and really like it. I can wait to grab the video game.
As the name sounds I was anxiously waiting for this game, much like the movie, great adventure and nice action, truly wonderful experience to play this game.
Avatar Is A Nice Movie
This is a nice game. I have played the previous version. Its very nice game. I like to play it often
Avatar is an early graphics-based multi-user highly interactive role-playing computer game, created on the University of Illinois’ Control Data Corporation
I saw the movie and it is awesome! Gonna try game this week
Cameron is responsible for some of the most successful movies ever made, both commercially and critically, so when it takes this guy over a decade to concentrate on getting a single movie just right then it’s sure to attract a lot of attention and hype so there’s been plenty of time for the game developers to fine tune the gameplay and graphics for this title. Cameron is quoted as saying he was fed up of seeing movie titled licensed games tagged on after the fact and wanted the game to be created hand in hand with the movie experience.
Thanks for the review!I’ll definitely give it a try.The movie was awesome I hope the game is to.
i was expecting that game on avatar will be made , but it is already made, the graphic quality looks cool to me , thx for ur insightful review.
Avatar meets with remarkable efficiency in their gaming experience, and offers a very decent film adaptation game. In these times graphics and ambition to find a product like this is quite a surprise, and does so with a degree of individual campaign approach very successful and thanks to a good multiplayer.

Hi, I found your blog on google. I’m pretty happyto have found your blogbecause I think it is informative! Really good content. Zingo 88
Throughout the movie, I was momentarily messed up by most of the similar things that were been discussed here, but for the most part, I dismissed them as my expectations progressed. Even the over zealous expression of capitalism or the “over-zealous military commander” were accepted as being a important part of the film.But there one small issue that (oddly enough, I guess) irked me. I had no way to go back and watch it again, but I’m pretty sure that when the Colonel was killed, he took his hands off the robot controls, trying to remove the arrow/bolt. Yet, with the Colonel’s death, the robot TOPPLED OVER! I would have expected such a machine just to simply stop moving and stand there.
