This was a great experience, I really enjoyed emersion into the Planet Pandora. I am new to PS3 and 60 years old. I doubted my ability to play games since I mastered Pac Man. I had no trouble after initial game. I loved the film and the graphics of the game are spectacular on a big screen. I can see how people spend long periods of time at this. I am practicing so my infant grandsons will be impressed with my abilities. I played both ways and was enjoying being a mean old RDA guy killing with pleasure. I spent over 5 weeks with this game before it became tedious. I got to one spot and could not defeat the Navi. It's a great game I will buy one for my grandsons and myself to enjoy.

Okay, so just got this game, and was pleasantly surprised! The game starts out with you choosing from a list of people to use as your characters, each with a Na'vi Avatar. It takes about ten minutes to get to the action, but don't be fooled be the less than stellar character animations, because the game is a blast! The action is very fast-paced and fun. It's kind of hard to dodge the fast alien wolves you fight, but you don't die that easily. I've only come close to dying once, and I easily healed. Turning into an Avatar is pretty cool, and the environment animations are very good. a tad blurry when driving in vehicles, but no big problem.

Pros: Decent story, sweet weapons and cool Avatar weapons and animations. Environment graphics are good, action is a blast, very fast-paced, decent level-up consistency and cool characters.

Cons: facial animations are under-par, camera is tad-bit flimsy, dodging is hard.

Overall, this is a very enjoyable game worth a rent. The movie is going to be an obvious hit. can't wait to watch it. This will easily help pass the time. Highly recommended for fans of third-person shooter fans!

I played this game for several hours and its ok but not great. Better games kept arriving and I eventually sent it back unfinished.
