Avatar

’Avatar: The Last Airbender’, is a video game whose creation was influenced by an animated television series on Nickelodeon. The main protagonist of this game is an Avatar descendent called Aang. In the game play, Aang and his ancestors strive to rid the world of the Fire Nation. Incorporating gritty graphics, the game makes for exiting play. This single player Avatar game permits the player to choose any one of four heroes; Aang, Sokka, Haru or Katara.

Using innovative martial art moves, these Avatar fighters clash with varied enemies, learning new fighting manoeuvres along the way. Each of the four heroes has his own unique fighting style as well as favourite weapon. A third party savoir such as the chi power or healing potions could also be used in the fight for the ultimate good. The tense Avatar action generated keeps the player glued to his seat as the hero battles and escapes from Firebenders and some gruesome animals.

This game can be played on Windows, the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, PSP, Wii, GameCube, Game Boy Advance and Xbox. The popularity of the television series resulted in the game crossing the million units sales mark in February 2007, becoming the best selling THQ Nickelodeon product of 2006. A sequel to the game is being planned.
