Gone is the open-world, X-Men Legends action-RPG style gameplay of the first title. Here, things play out more like your standard 3D beat-'em-up, with co-op on all of the time. Heroes are assigned automatically by stage and storyline, and if you're not playing with a friend, then the AI takes over. At the very least, the always-on co-op helps to keep the banter and sound bites fresh. The game may also see fit to switch pairs of players during certain points in the mission (such as in The Swamp, where you can control Katara/Momo and Aang/Sokka teams.). At the end of each level is a boss, which can then be unlocked to fight in the game's Arena Mode.
Just because the game's switched to a beat-'em-up core, however, doesn't mean that there aren't things to break up the action. Co-op puzzles abound, as well as obstacles that require the use of a certain type of bender or warrior to get past. Aang can blow obstacles out of the way, for example, and Sokka can cut things with his boomerang. A bit of stealth has also been added, such as when Aang and Sokka sneak past guards (tiptoeing and hiding inside barrels) into the Bei Fong estate to speak to Toph.
Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
When Netflix announced that they'll be rebooting the franchise as a live-action TV series, I found myself disappointed that it wasn't something fans could really sink their teeth into, that would allow them to take their time and savor every morsel of Avatar's intriguing and detailed world and story; like a video game.
As if Hollywood/Silicon valley weren't satisfied with destroying the material enough.
Amazing full of life open games than need to happen. Both Avatars. Adventure time done right, I'd also love a ghibli world.
The Avatar universe has come to a sudden wind down after the conclusion of The Legend of Korra series. Co-Creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino had spoke about future comic books in the works, but will we ever see a good Avatar game?
If they do I hope we can get 1000 GS or platinum the game within 5 minutes lol
