My sister gave me this game for Christmas and I love playing it. Once you get past the first couple of levels anyone can join you as a secondary character to give you a hand. It’s also interesting that you can ‘buy’ your own upgrades that can affect the difficulty of game play lol. If you don’t make the right upgrades in time it can really make things a challenge! I love using the balance board for flying! It’s a great experience! At one point my friend used my controller and her own so that I could focus on ’steering’. A great time and even more so if you play with a friend.

Before I bought this game for my 12 year old son, I'd made clear to him that I would buy him one and ONLY one game for his Wii this Christmas. He therefore spent hours online, researching the game, checking out the graphics, watching the commercials, etc. He was SO excited to receive it Christmas morning... and SO disappointed after loading and playing it. We had no idea that only the Xbox 360 game (and NOT the Wii version) has all the features and stunning graphics shown on the TV commercials.

ONLY the Xbox 360 version allows you to pick your own figures; ONLY Xbox 360 allows you to choose whether you want to be on the Navii's team, or the RDA team. Even the story line's are different from one platform to the other. The Xbox 360 version has many, many different levels that simply don't exist in the Wii game.

And the graphics... oh brother, what a scam! The Xbox 360 version, shown on all the TV commercials, looks stunning. The Wii version, on the other hand, is pixelated, low res and simply disappointing.

Buyer beware!

(PS Having said that, my son still enjoys playing the game. But his play is a bit wistful, knowing that this is NOT what he had expected. Rating: 4 / 5

I recently bought Avatar wii for my brother for Christmas, and I was really exited about it. When we started to play it we liked it, good graphics, the way of fighting in it is not bad, and the 2 player mode was great! But after just the second time we played it, we finished the entire game! We were so disappointed that we could not do all the things that Ubisoft (producer of Avatar wii) advertises on the Amazon website. For instance play as the RDA and use different weapons. You simply can’t do these things on the wii version of Avatar. Over all the the game was fun but not worth $50 (more like $20 or $30), And don’t trust what you read in the game description.

The graphics for the game were not anywhere near where they could of and should have been. Was very grainy, and pixilated. Also the story was relatively basic, along with the game itself. The gameplay was basic by terms of interaction. Throughout the game it was walk around and slash every one you found, or try and be sneaky and shoot an arrow at a guy far away. In the end I found that the game was not worth the price, and I have only tried on the Wii system so I do not know if they game would differ with the other systems.

Pros:
Nice graphics
Solid use of the Balance Board
Exclusive story
Fun
co-op available

Cons:
lots of bugs and glitches
game development was rushed
not enough exploration possible.
terrible use of the motion plus

The game could have been much better but if you liked the film and want to feel like a Nav`i then the game can be fun. Rating: 4 / 5
