Avatar: The Last Airbender (DS)
© 2006 THQ, Inc.
Like versions of the Avatar game for other platforms, players control one of the four airbenders (Aang, Katara, Haru or Sokka ) as they explore different environments inspired from the cartoon series. As they explore, they interact with characters, exchanging items or trading for things like medicine. There are battle scenes, and each character has different powers, which keeps things interesting. But this game also has a lot of instructions, and the navigation makes it too easy to get lost. Testers Daniel & Nick (ages 8 and 11) did not like this DS edition as much as the Game Boy Advance version. Bag it, or if you have a lot of patience and really like the show, borrow it. Developed by Tose for THQ and based on the Nickelodeon show.
$29.99, Nintendo DS*, Game Boy Advance*
