Pretty Disappointing, doesn't do Avatar justice

I wasn't expecting much when I rented this... THQ / Nickelodeon games tend to be pretty rushed / under developed. This game is really no different. If you're a big Avatar fan, I suggest you skip it as it will probably insult you.
The last review was really thorough and pretty much hit all the marks so I won't repeat them all, but biggest issue is that the game is buggy, laggy, the animation is of substandard quality for next-gen and half the 'cutscenes' lack lip syncing so it looks like a cheap Nintendo 64/early Playstation scene. We beat the game in only 2 sittings which is pretty disappointing.
I will say some positive things... it's nice to have a 2 player co-op game with cooperative puzzles... though the puzzles are rather simple and remedial. OK for younger players I suppose. And its great to have the original voice actors from the show.
This game is more or less a testament to the 'quantity over quality' doctrine that most game developers seem to live by these days.
Skip this one if you can.
