6 out of 10 but Disapointing
3 of 3 found this helpful The game play is a pretty basic shooter. Game flows nicely. The graphics are well done even if the story line is somewhat predictable and lacking in imagination.
The sad part is that there seems to be no pride of workmanship. Avatar was an incredible and complex movie. The attention to detail was excellent down to the smallest item. However the game sadly lacks that pride of a job well done. I am surprised that Ubisoft actually released it in its current form.
The Na'vi can't even speak their own language. Titles and Names are pronounced in such a mangled way that I would compare it to a 1st year student learning a new language. It is so bad its almost an insult to James Cameron and Paul Frommer who created a beautiful lyric language. If they had taken just that little more time to try and stay true to the Movie this game would go up considerably in my opinion.
The tech in Avatar was so far ahead of its time, and some of that could have been included in the game. It would have been a nice addition to the Avatar "world" if the developers had just paid attention to the details. As it is, anyone who enjoyed the movie will be as disappointed as I was.

My Book Software. Major Pain to install on Vista.
3 of 3 found this helpful The Hardware is great, the My Book software and Mionet will not install on Vista. Drive needs to be partitioned in Vista. It comes formated in FAT32 but Vista will not recognize unless you delete existing partition reformat NTFS then it works great. No lag time between Drive and system.
