Avatar - The Last Airbender: Into the Inferno - Taking you for granted

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

The recently launched Avatar - The Last Airbender: Into the Inferno for the DS is a follow up to Nickelodeon’s award-winning Avatar series and the transformation is all thanks to THQ and Halfbrick Studios. The game is actually the third instalment of the game on the DS, but it will be a little too much on your part to expect any fireworks from this game. In fact the gameplay of this latest instalment is conspicuously different from the earlier ones.

The story of the game starts in a typical fashion, and resembles to an extent the third and final season of the absurdly popular animated series. The theme of the story basically revolves upon Aang, the 12 year old protagonist, who takes on the incarnation of the Avatar in the Avatar: The Legend of Aang - Into the Inferno instalment. The Avatar is believed to be the Earth’s spirit in human form, and interestingly is bestowed with the capability o blend the four basic elements to his will so as to maintain equilibrium in the four Earth Nations. Aang, for his part has already mastered the powered of Wind, Water, and Earth with the assistance of his friends, and the only remaining hurdle in his endeavour to bring peace to the Earth is ‘Fire’. You have an important role in helping Aang and his friends to travel successfully to the hostile land of Fire that will bring an end to war that is ravaging the four Nations.

The peculiar thing is that you will remain oblivious of all these as there is little effort shown by the manufactures to explain you the game. To get the thrill and excitement it is pertinent that you are familiar with the story beforehand, and in case you are a newbie there is every possibility that you will be repelled by the impersonal and abrupt nature of the game.
