You also unlock new moves as you level up throughout the game. The primary selection of maneuvers is basic, to put it mildly, but a simplified and surprisingly intuitive RPG mechanic enables you to equip items and enhance the abilities of your characters. The character moves with satisfying speed around top-down 3D environments and uses his staff to battle enemies. In the beginning, you control Aang as he sets out to meet up with his friends Sokka and then Katara. That noted, as a playable entity, Avatar oftentimes lacks the color, wit and the high-flying action of its television predecessor, which is sure to be a disappointment for any diehard fans.Īvatar: The Last Airbender is a fairly straightforward affair for the PC platform.
The game, developed by THQ's Australia Studio, is designed largely for kids and it does succeed as an entertaining, but slightly shallow beat-'em-up set in the Avatar universe. It is, to be short, good entertainment that can be enjoyed on multiple levels by multiple demographics. Between regularly funny wise-cracks, the series dishes out enough well-choreographed action sequences to satisfy Jackie Chan and Jet Li fans combined. The show runs with this premise and is complemented by a cast of likeable characters, including Aang's friends Katara (who is herself a young Waterbender) and Sokka, a loud-mouthed teenager whose primary ability is his conviction. For only the Avatar is able to harness the power of all four elements. But the young warrior will only be able to best the menacing threat of the Fire Nation once he has also learned the intricacies of Fire, Water and Earthbending, too.
Aang is an Airbender, which means that he can manipulate air itself to fly, send wind tunnels at foes, and so on. The show follows the exploits of a whimsical hero named Aang - the Avatar - who has been tasked with the lofty challenge of battling an entire nation of enemies and restoring piece to a war-torn land. We know because we're probably not the cartoon's target audience, and yet we watch it religiously - even as we are mocked by family and friends. Nickelodeon has with Avatar: The Last Airbender created an anime-style show that appeals to both kids and adults.
