    Sounds like everybody is in agreement that the game reuses the Ubisoft formula faithfully without inventing anything new or exciting, except this time it's on Pandora. Then the scores diverge depending on how sick the reviewer is of the Ubisoft formula and how interested they are in the world of Avatar.

    Beautiful game marred by lackluster combat and bad ai. This game could have been something special and it shows while playing it from your character feeling like a giant in human areas down to your movements but to many times it stops just short at being great. To the landscape being downright surreal in places. But things like bows being as loud as an antimaterial rifle alerting everyone within a mile where you are to enemies stumbling around in the same back and forth area seeming to have endless bullets to spray the forest in no particular direction. Also so far the story is very by the numbers.

    If you want to play the game, just play it and experience it yourself! Watch reviews and read comment section after u played it. Promise u gonna love some low rating games as you progress.
