James Cameron's Avatar: The Game Review
Touted as the next blockbuster film to hit theatres, the run up to James Cameron's Avatar has created quite high expectations among movie goers and the media alike. Outside of the big screen, James Cameron's Avatar has also been adapted into a video game by Ubisoft Montreal, aptly named James Cameron's Avatar: The Game. With a premise of humans fighting for an alien planet's resources, surely some sort of quality game could be carved out, yet the stereotype of movie-based video games being of poor quality strikes again, this time with Avatar.
After travelling for five years through space from Earth to the alien planet of Pandora, players are dropped into the shoes of an RDA soldier, or rather a "grunt" or "jarhead" as belittling RDA generals like to call the player-character. RDA is short for the Resource Development Alliance, and as the name entails, the RDA are on the planet of Pandora to harvest resources. There is a problem however, Pandora is inhabited by an intelligent native species known as the Na'vi.
