This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Avatar the Airbender: The Burning Earth by Gamersinfo

We begin the game with Aang on his quest to learn the other elements. He was only 11 when he hid from the Fire Nation attacks, and although Katara has been shown to be a water-bending master, he must still learn fire- and earth-bending to become a true Avatar. Those familiar with the series will recognize the locations and characters from the first scene. While the retelling of the story differs slightly — it must to make sense to a non-fan — the gist of the story remains intact.

Incredibly enough, so does the humor. Sokka, a 15-year-old boy is quite frankly, a dork. This comes across often. Aang may be the savior of the known world, but he’s still only 12 at this point and wants to play. And Katara is the older sister of Sokka — she’s been his mother for many years, and her motherly overbearing nature is obvious. You don’t have to be familiar with the tale to smile.
