James Camerons Avatar The Game

James Cameron's Avatar is a first-person shooter that thoughtfully ties-in with the movie.

After picking one of the male or female characters, you are thrown into the role of "Able" Ryder, a signal specialist sent to Pandora to support the RDA, a human military force who live at ill-ease with the indigenous purple Na'vi people.

When you become part of the RDA's Avatar programme, you are transported into the body of a Na'vi and confronted with the troubling realisation that the RDA is exterminating the Na'vi in order to steal a natural resource from Pandora. Which side will you choose?

Stay with the Na'vi and fight the humans or help a human traitor escape and return to your body stored in a sci-fi coffin. The choice you make will determine the adventure you take; either a Na'vi third-person action-adventure or an RDA third-person shooter.

    First off I have to say that Avatar: The Game is NOT as good as it's film counterpart, in that the story is completely different (so if you are buying the game to play through the story of the film then you should be aware of this) and being at a much lower standard than the film. Also the Graphics and special effects aren't as visceral as the film (but this is to be expected from a video game), but there is a unique option that I have never before seen on a video game, that is the ability to play in 3D and although an expensive 3D compatible TV is required for this option, it presents something wonderful to look forward to in the near future where more games will have this option.

    The fact that you are able to play as both the Na'Vi/Avatars and as an RDA trooper gives the player two unique perspectives and gaming styles for the same game, which is very nice and although there is a moral choice in which faction you side with, the way that it is presented is very flat and fairly disappointing to be honest.

    All in all it is a fairly good game, even with the fact that is greatly overshadowed by the film and there is definitely room for improvement in a possible second instalment, but despite this it is still well worth buying for the prices that it is available at and for what it is, as a game, I am going to give it a solid 6/10 overall.

    Thanks for reading and I hope this review has helped.
