James Cameron's Avatar The Game (Further called "Avatar") is the new game from Ubisoft for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, Wii and PlayStation Portable, which is released on December 1, 2009. The game is linked to the upcoming movie of the same name by James Cameron, and features 3D capabilities on capable platforms.http://avatargame.us.ubi.com/

The game is set on Pandora, the same alien planet that is featured in the movie. Pandora is inhabited by the Na'vi, and other life forms for the player to discover. The game does not follow the Movie storyline, but instead tells the story of how the native Na'vi, and the power-hungry RDA Corporation clash, and start the war that is prominent in the movie itself.

The player can explore the world of Pandora on foot, using vehicles, or by riding animals. It provides basic RPG elements, as it allows customization of your character by applying upgrades and bulding weapons.http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/62453/James-Camerons-Avatar-The-Game/review/

It's main flaws are repetitive missions, dull gameplay, bad controls and a little interesting story.

TeamXbox were one of the first to review "Avatar the Game" and rated it with a 7.1/10 score. They concluded: "Avatar nails the presentation, offering a richly rendered world that continually stings the senses." but also "a weak story, poor pacing and a few minor gameplay flaws keep Avatar from competing with the likes of far superior, recent third-person efforts such as Assassin’s Creed II and Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Eurogamer rated the game 5/10 stating "despite providing two third-person action games here for the price of one, both of them are dull and forgettable."<ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/james-camerons-avatar-the-game-review?page=3

IGN UK gave it a 6/10 score, and added: '" It does little to endorse Ubisoft's claim that it's been in development for years" and "it's a pretty rudimentary thing. IIt's a long way better than bilge like the Quantum of Solace, but it's certainly got no sense of a landmark pop-cultural moment, in the way we're repeatedly told the film will."http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/105/1050665p1.html

G4TV.com gave it a 2/5 score, commenting: "Ubisoft tries to cash in on James Cameron's latest cinematic epic Avatar with a prequel game that's big on production values, but lacking in most other areas."http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/62453/James-Camerons-Avatar-The-Game/review/

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will come with a 6-inch action figure of Jake Sully, the main person of the game. The Wii-game toy character will measure a 4-inch figure of the Na'vi Warrior Tsu'Tey. http://www.destructoid.com/ubisoft-reveals-avatar-the-game-limited-edition-149005.phtml
