James Cameron's Avatar: The Game (Playstation 3)

James Cameron is no stranger to large-scale projects. This is why James Cameron wanted to make ‘Avatar: The Game’ from inside the cinematic ideas that we have, and aim for a new experience. With a massive collaboration between the filmmakers and game designers. The story of Avatar surrounds the world of Pandora, an alien world that resembles that of a Garden of Eden. Humans have come to the planet to extract resources to bring back to Earth. But the native Na’vi aren’t pleased with the new visitors pillaging.

You’ll have a choice to make in this third-person adventure game: Are you a human, or a Na’vi? Using cloaking devices and with advanced military technology on your side like airstrikes, taking charge of Ryder - an RDA trooper – hands you the duty to take down resistant Na’vi warriors to get the resources to bring back to Earth. Or play as the human who controls a Na’vi warrior, who starts to side with the natives, fighting the plague of humans coming to destroy Pandora.

The gameplay is more strategic, involving more melee combat and sneak attacks, using the elements and environment to your benefit. It’s machine versus monster. With RPG elements, stunning visuals and a plethora of colours, you’ll be a part of the world of Pandora from day and night.

The multiplayer on the game is fast-paced. Players will choose sides and fight large-scale battles that plays like a third-person Halo game, with deathmatch, capture the flag, and more.

The PSP and the PS3 will be able to exchange 'Effort Points' to create more interactivity with the two devices.
