Avatar Game – why did the pick the dummy aspects only?
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Avatar, the movie, had – to formulate it very black and white – two primary aspects:
One was the “high end” socio-culturally critical “why do humans with their eternal greed have to ruin all ecosystems?” We got a glimps at a fascinating world, worth exploring. The smarter aspect of human nature – be curious, find out what you can and enjoy the wonders but don’t destroy them. Like an adventure hike through a rainforest on a different planet with different evolution. Something to think about and maybe a message worth remembering (ecosystems are precious + fun to explore).
Second was the dummy aspects for jarhead wanabes and patridiots, basically catering to the lowest human intellects (the typical stuff to entertain the atrophied brains of well functioning human livestock, the backbone of the economy, the well indoctrinated and uncritical consumers and voters). So a lot of violence, pathos, and “hero” ethics for the intellectually challenged, whom the politicians and corporations love so much.
I greatly enjoyed the movie for the first aspect – the world they created was just amazing. I wanted to be there. I wanted to explore. I wanted to know it’s secrets and immerse myself in it’s wonders. And that’s what I was looking for in the game. I expected sort of Morrowind: the elder scrols – Oblivion on Pandora. Full freedom to roam in a superbly stunning setting.
I should have checked better, prior to “pre ordering” the game (on the cover it said “explore Pandora” – pah!) – because it unfortunately is solely about the idiot stuff (run about hectically and kill everything designated as enemies). Perfect junkfood for mainsteam, uninspired shoot-them-uppers. Why bother with the Pandora scenario, when it’s just another mediocre “run around and kill all the bad guys” thingy?
Is this really what the mainstream gamers want? Collect trophies and kill? Just keep shooting and running and never stop because then your brain might begin to work (and – beware – produce thought or even develop curiosity)? Is this what the mainstream consumers want from a potentially inspiring and fascinating Pandora – just run around and be violent? Then it’s no wonder the world is in the shape it’s in today. Another wasted opportunity to inspire. Another effective crowd-pleaser (or should I say pacifier?), which dulls down potentially creative and imaginative human brains by multi-media-overload.
Anyhow, my fault for not waiting for more reviews prior to buying. Whoever else is looking for a fantastic and fascinating world to explore – this is not your game.
If you just want to kill stuff (virtually), you might give it a try and get happy with the game.
Sorry for the misantropic review. I’m just so disappointed in this game … maybe I’m getting old, but I really miss smart creativity, where the content matters, not just the fancy packaging.
Brilliant Movie, let down of a game
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Dont be fooled about the great movie, this game is not very good at all. the missions are very difficult and complicated at most times. it may be cheap but you should buy a different game than this, a real let down.PS3 name: jmulvaney

I bought this game for my son however it is too hard for my 9 year old to play
For a game made from a film this is brilliant!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Having not been able to get to see the film, due to an accident and being stuck indoors, I ordered this game with not much hope to be honest. It was however brilliant and I played it through twice straight away – once as a soldier and once as an avatar. Much recommended!

The game lived up to expectations. Both my boys have been thrilled with it. It isn’t a duplication of the film more of a prequel so not all the characters are the same but the spectacular scenery is just as good.
