Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the coolest cartoons on Nickelodeon these days. A far cry from the misshapen adventures of the Rugrats, it blends action and magic into a tasty blend of kick-ass Asian action. Just as a show like this can bridge the gap between kids and adults, the game THQ is cooking up brings the series' slick cartoon visuals together with the kind of action RPG gameplay mature gamers have come to love. Think X-Men Legends, and you're getting there.
Avatar's world is divided into four elements: earth, air, water, and fire. Revered citizens have the ability to "bend" their element of choice as powerful magicians. Those with the power of fire turn into aggressive villains, bent on world domination. The air-based crew is wiped off the face of the planet, while water and earth are hanging on by a thread.
Like the TV show, Avatar: The Last Airbender the game features Asian-inspired anime visuals. Its cartoon graphics closely mimic the look of the show. The environments of the game's 12 stages show a lot of variety, assimilating the vibe from the local elemental inhabitants. Aang's journey begins in the South Pole, where he's found by a water tribe, and will go all the way to the firebenders' stronghold.
