I got word that there’s a new Avatar video game out that seemed to slip under the radar undetected. It’s called “Avatar: The Burning Earth”, and really, it… doesn’t look too good. I’ll let you decide for yourself: here’s a video courtesy of GameTrailers.com.
Really, I’m not too impressed. The graphics could be a lot better, and the gameplay looks very “standard beat-em-up.” I am impressed they managed to get all the voice actors together; it seems we get to hear a little bit of the Mako’s replacement near the end. He’s not too bad, but I’m still skeptical.
Anyways, I might give it a rent, just to write up something solid, but it seems to be a game directed at its younger audience, much like the lastest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games (based on the cartoon, not the film). Only time will tell, I suppose.
I remember there was an idea kicking around before of a free-form fighting game with bending involved; it would be awesome if they developed the ultimate “use your arena to your advantage” engine to go with it, no?
