After watching the movie, I bought the game, partly because the world Jame's Cameron has invented is perfect for a game and partly because I wanted to make a statement that i wanted more.
It does not matter to me that the game occasionally appears unpolished, but what did irritate me is that the story (particuarly the Na'vi one does not seem to respect the ideals set in place by the Movie)
As an example one of the key alien and emotionally brilliant aspects of the film is the idea of (the bond) where the Na'vi can effectively plug themselves into animals... this was tragically absent.
Another issue I became increasingly annoyed by was the fact that at various intervals the Na'vi character rides several of the animals which were absolutely sacred to the race. at several points completely contradicting spoken dialogue in the film.
However this is immaterial when you consider the positive aspects of the game:
Avatar provides you with 2 unique gameplay experiences as both the RDA (where it is comparable to lost planet colonies) and the Na'vi (where the game becomes more of a hack and slash where your sucess is dependant on speed and effective use of the special abilities).
It is to my eternal annoyance that i could not witness pandora in full 3d, a world so lovingly created it practically leaps out at you even from the confines of my sadly 3d incapable tv.
The game features a unique multiplayer in several modes where you play as two races with completely different attributes and skills in a hot pvp environment.
The game features a fun leveling system and it is rewarding to see your character develop as you progress through the game.
However Avatar is hardly perfect and could be successful to the level of a major franchise such as Gears of War 2 if people invest in this story and give the design team a chance to really enhance the gameplay and storyline

I loved this game. Still playing it for the trophies, and just because i have fallen in love with pandora itself. The camera work is absolutely fine. But people pick it to bits because they want to break the physics within the game to do things that are plain crazy. When your in the game just look around you. And you realize that this is something amazing. The Na'vi battle system is straight forward and easy and fun. The same goes for the RDA human gameplay. The story was for me very engaging and i wanted to beat the RDA to bits when i was a Na'vi and the same goes for the opposite play through. This is the best movie game adaption since spiderman 2 all those years ago. The online leaves something to be desired but for this was all about the story mode. Alot of time has gone into this game and it shows in the graphics, over all presentation and gameplay. Take this game for what it is and not what it could be and you'll be pleasently surprised. Bring on the sequel with some improvements and this could be a very good franchise. James Cameron himself stated that this avatar game project would be a learning process and i believe he'll deliver as time goes by.
 Good for the money, but will the fun last? December 20, 2009

Having got the game before I had seen the film I didn't really know what to expect, but having had it a week I am not disappointed. Really beautiful graphics make this a visual feast to play, so its initially impressive, but I'm not sure I'll be coming back for more in a few months time. It's the novelty and the graphics that have my attention rather than a compelling story and I don't think re-playability will be high.
The pluses - great graphics, a novel story-line, Amazon's price!
The minuses - too much extra info in the 'Pandorapedia'...do you really want to read about every plant you come across, maybe overly complex control selection...you need to keep choosing the right weapons and abilities to tie to keys on the controller/changing, probabaly not 're-playable'
Overall for the price for such a new relase its worth the purchase, plat it quick then go trade it in on the high street at a games retailer and you probably wont be out of pocket at all!
Enjoy

At first glance this appears to be an above average movie tie-in, with lush graphics and top notch presentation, however extended play reveals unresponsive controls, poor camera issues and an unengaging storyline.
The world of Avatar is incredible, with detailed flora & fauna making you believe you are fully immersed in the Avatar jungle. (apparently this game also boasts 3D graphics but you would need to have the type of TV capable of showing these). The jungle can be over detailed at times as it causes some frame rate issues at times.
You have the choice at the beginning of playing as either the marine (ie a standard shoot em up game) or the blue inhabitants, the Navi's (ie a standard platformer).
I found my attention waning the more I played and although there were momnets that lifted it slightly (like when you drive the vehicles) I found the controls too unresponsive to truly enjoy the game.
All in all, there IS fun to be had here, and if you could snap this up cheaply I would say go for it, but in the plethora of top games released at Christmas there are better titles out there more deserving of your cash.
