    Not good, but not bad either, just think of this game as a stripped down and more bland version of Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass with an Avatar theme to it and that pretty much the entire game in a nutshell.
    Some people may enjoy it, others might not.

    This game has really annoying and repetitive gameplay, which makes it only recommendable to few. The controls feel broken for the most part and that is what kills it.

    I felt ripped off and I played the free demo, this games consists of boring, repitive puzzles. The worst part is the control were pratically ripped from legend of zelda DS, movement, combat, and even the tool I got was a rippoff of Legend of Zelda's grappling hook (chainshot/hookshot)

    Do I even have to say anything??? It`s just a crappy version of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. I`m glad I just downloaded the demo of the Nintendo Channel on the Wii.

    It's.... ok. Playable.

    Short game but with a nice soundtrack, and the story is decent enough.
    Grinding system is not too cruel if you go for 100% and backtrack a few times to get the missing lores.

    I personally enjoyed it, and reminded me a lot of the Zelda DS titles.

    Overhead arcade adventure of the maze negotiating/item collecting variety with nicely colourful graphics. A bit unsophisticated but not too bad overall.

    The story is lengthy and there are plenty of extras to find after finishing, but the gameplay is derivative and can drag at points.

    I suggest you spend your Essence Seeds elsewhere. [Jan 2010, p.87]

    Worth considering for young Avatar fans, and obsessed cinema-goers, but everyone else can safely leave this one for nature to envelop. Or the bargain bins, whichever works.
