THQ has announced that
Avatar: The Last Airbender - Into the Inferno, the video game that follows the storyline of the third season of Nickelodeon's acclaimed and highly successful TV series, is now available for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and Nintendo Wii home video game system. The much awaited game is also expected to be made available for Nintendo DS on Monday, November 24.
Just like the third season of
Avatar, which saw the final showdown between
Aang and his friends as they face Fire Lord Ozai,
Into the Inferno allows players to embark on an epic adventure and participate in the dramatic culmination to the 100-year-old war.
Playing as one of the favored characters from the show, fans can execute similar explosive martial arts moves, as well as bend all four elements, Earth, Fire, Water and Air, to help them in their journey, and ultimately restore harmony to the world.
The game, which can be enjoyed by up to two players, will also allow players to soar through the sky on gliders in new flying levels with its cinematic air battles. Moreover, the Nintendo DS version of the game will also introduce a brand new and unique "bobble head" style of animation previously seen in Nickelodeon's special
Avatar series of animated shorts.
Created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko,
Avatar: The Last Airbender is a series set in an Asian-influenced world of martial arts. The program centers on Aang and his friends, who are tasked to save the world by defeating the Fire Lord and ending the destructive war with the Fire Nation. The show premiered on February 2005 and ended its run on July 19. During its three-season run, the show proved to be popular with both fans and critics, garnering 5.6 million viewers on its best-rated showing and receiving high ratings in the Nicktoons lineup, even outside its 6–11-year-old demographic.
