Official description of the game
Description: In the distant future, earthlings have exhausted the resources of their home planet and are now striving to take possession of the gifts not of the Earth, but of Pandora. The peace-loving Na'vi, the natives of Pandora, live without technology, in harmony in the beautiful world of wild nature.
What will happen to the fragile world of the blue-skinned Na'vi giants with long tails and huge green eyes when the Earth's man-made armada hovers in the skies of their planet? How to save humanity from resource hunger and, at the same time, not destroy the biological civilization of the aborigines? Which civilization will ultimately come first in the race for survival? Players will be able to get answers to these questions by standing on one side of the conflict and building the future of their nation with their own hands.
Features:
• Immerse yourself in the world of James Cameron. Get to the very heart of Pandora and look at Cameron's universe.
• Participate in a massive conflict between two worlds. Fight for the RDA or the military. Use different skills, about 20 for each side of the conflict.
• Fight using vehicles or riding animals.
• Modify over 60 RDAs and military weapons.
• Get tired of multiplayer battles.
• Create your own character and unlock new skills as you play.
Review: Playability
A review of the demo version has already appeared on our website. Now it's time to try out the full version of James Cameron's Avatar: The Game. In the demo, everything was very simplified and the game plot itself was very difficult to appreciate. What do we have in the full version of this product? The developers decided not to make movie twists and almost from the very beginning we choose who we want to play for - Lil Navi people.
Hardcore fans may say that the game is too monotonous and the levels are repeated many times, but if you devote no more than 1-2 hours a day to the game, you will have a long-term hobby from which you will get a lot of pleasure every day.
We invite you to watch part of the video of the first mission of James Cameron's Avatar: The Game, where you can see for yourself the quality of this product:

The diversity of the combat arsenal of the two warring sides is very well implemented, as well as a good abundance of auxiliary vehicles. The battles as you progress are large-scale and keep you in constant suspense. The plot of the film is a little blurry, so those who have not seen the film will vaguely assess the events taking place around them. So we recommend that you first get acquainted with the film, and only then start playing.
Review: Game Graphics
The game graphics in James Cameron's Avatar: The Game honestly pleased me. And not only pleased, but even impressed. It is clear that the game engine has been around since Far Cry 2 has undergone some changes and the picture looks simply gorgeous.
I’m also pleased to see the introduction of DirectX 10 effects, which had a very positive effect on the overall gaming picture. The level of interaction between the player and the outside world is well implemented - both leaves and stones have a good physical model. The linearity of the levels there is a little depressing - it seems that you are running along corridors, and not through the vast jungle of Pandora. But still, the “corridor” component looks quite decent.
You can endlessly list the delights of the game graphics of James Cameron's Avatar: The Game, but as you know, there is one thing about it - beauty requires sacrifice. Then you will be able to see for yourself that not everything is so rosy in the world of Pandora...
Review: Resource-intensive game
To play James Cameron's Avatar: The Game you will need a dual-core Core 2 Duo 2,66 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM. But this indicator is not critical for overall performance - let's see what Cameron's brainchild will do with our video cards...
All video cards were tested at maximum graphics quality using Fraps. in the most resource-intensive place in the game.
Now all our video cards are tested in general in all separate screen sizes and you can evaluate how your video card behaves relative to other modern solutions in almost all gaming separate screen sizes. All video cards were tested at maximum quality graphics settings in DirectX10 mode with eight-fold antialiasing.
Testing at maximum quality settings 1024x768 AA8X DX10
Testing at maximum quality settings 1280x1024 AA8X DX10
Testing at maximum quality settings 1680x1050 AA8X DX10
Testing at maximum quality settings 1920x1080 AA8X DX10
It is very clear that the game is more favorable to the huge number of ATI stream processors. Nvidia video cards demonstrate a good average fps, but the minimum fps drops very much, and sometimes even a little critically. So modern graphics flagships from Nvidia are suitable for comfortable gaming only at a resolution of 1208x1024... And the HD48XX generation from ATI is not very suitable for this role, especially in full HD and higher. So for lovers of monitors with a resolution of 1920x1080 or higher, we recommend video cards starting with HD58XX.
Conclusion: The game James Cameron's Avatar: The Game is very beautiful and perfect for whiling away long winter evenings... The only negative is the rather large requirements for the graphics subsystem to obtain the highest quality image.
