Avatar: The Last Airbender

"Avatar: The Last Airbender could've been a worthwhile effort had THQ actually put some more work and imagination behind it. As it is, it leans too much on the basics. The graphics and sound never really deliver in the same tone as the show, and the gameplay never really rises above mundane. Those who appreciate the TV show would probably be better off just watching episodes or picking up some Avatar DVD's instead."

"Avatar: The Last Airbender had the potential to be an enjoyable game for both children and adults but most of that potential went untapped, and the extremely repetitive and tedious gameplay isn't likely to appeal to either audience."

"Avatar: The Last Airbender gets a passing grade, but unlike the fun and entertaining television show, the game falls well short of greatness. As a straightforward beat-'em-up, the title seems to have the right formula, including solid control and a surprisingly intuitive character upgrade system. It even includes a strong selection of levels and characters. But the game rarely represents the Nickelodeon show well, sometimes lacking satisfying collision detection during combat, featuring sparse voice work and facial animation, and omitting a multiplayer mode altogether."
