James Cameron's Avatar the Game Review

Judging by the lines at, game review, the movie theaters, there are only, game review, a handful of people who haven't seen James Cameron's Avatar the Movie. It promised to be a whole new level of graphic entertainment and it delivered. As with most new movie launches, tie-ins from fast food outlets, soft drinks, game review, and of course toys were produced pre-launch. Cameron primed the pump with the release of James Cameron's Avatar the Game about 3 weeks before the theater release of the movie.



Let me say first, the graphics in this game are outstanding. You can play it in regular mode or 3-D if you have the right monitor/TV. Unfortunately, I don't so my review is based on the 2-D game.



One of the first things you will discover is you have the ability to play as a human or a, game review, Navi. Each has its own advantages. The Navi is extremely hard to kill. So, game review, much so that many gamers are complaining. They have a disadvantage in travel. To complete the missions, it is necessary to travel to 11 different sectors on the planet of Pandora, game review, .



This takes a while if you are a Navi.



Playing the human gives you the advantage of using vehicles. You can get to the mission sites much faster. From there it's the usual game play of collecting, game review, arms and items vital to the mission.



I think the graphics of the game were fantastic. I'm glad I was able, game review, to play, game review, this game and would recommend it to anyone. The travel lets you experience, game review, different terrains, jungles, rivers and pretty cool plant life.



The, game review, attacks are explosive, be careful if you have a dynamic sound system, you'll wake the neighbors. This part of the game exceeded my expectations. I played the game for hours, just to play and explore Pandora.



Now the downside, I got bored. The missions are like so many other games and quickly became tedious. Especially when I played the Navi because it took so long to get places. As a human, I found it especially frustrating because the Navi's are so unevenly equipped with lifeforce.



I got tired of attacking, attacking and more attacking to proceed. These things just wont die.



The game itself is a mix of first person shooter and leveling up. It doesn't really, game review, matter how good you are as a shooter, you still have to complete missions to level up so it becomes rather frustrating after a while. This was supposed to be the future of gaming and it doesn't, game review, quite live up to the hype. That is unless you bought it with the intention of spending more time exploring Pandora on your own.



If that's it, the you'll probably love this game. At least for a while.



I was very excited when I heard about the movie. I was even more excited when I read the pre-release info about the game. It's really a great, game review, game from a graphics point of view and I recommend you try it, but I'm also glad I didn't fork over the big bucks to buy it. I got it on a 10 day free trial. Try it for yourself and see what you think. You may want to add it, game review, to your collection.
