I can't find the original thread ;__;
But for now I'll use this as a substitute.
So I just got the DS version today, and so far the movement is like Zelda: Phantom of the Hour Glass.
Touch screen. The graphics are 3D-ish rendered.
So far everything is done by touch-screen, except for switching characters and the "link-chain" thing at the bottom which keeps your party together..
It's really interesting actually.
I don't quite get the health system because there's no HP bar...but from what I can guess you get hit so many times before you go into red mode, then in times of rest you heal...?
Granted this is only the first chapt...
I must admit, the animation is rather fluid.
So far Ilike the game.

Everything is done mostly by touch-screen? Sounds fun and kind of difficult. I still haven't gotten it since I have had no time to go to the store and buy it.

It's pretty nice actually.
It is very reminiscent of Zelda: Phantom of the Hourglass.
Though it's mostly a puzzle type game, like the first, where you use bending to help you get to other areas, and while the combat system is fun, it feels...limited D:
Still, I can't help but enjoy waterbending the hell out of everythign xD and I must say, Earthbending is very impressive, the fact that you can move the rock slabs you stand on leaves me wanting more.
I've gotten to part 3, but I like it already. It seem to follow close to the storyline of the real show, with minor differences.
Btw, did I mention 3D cut-scenes?
I'm gonna praise the music too, because it's dynamic and fun to listen to, it really captures you in some moments.
I wish I could try out the volleyball game, it's multiplayer only though D:
EDIT: I got to fight Combustionman and Hama who were pretty difficult for the type of game it was, but I was impressed by how THQ handled it, making the villains pretty awesome.
Right now I'm at the invasion >:D

I need to save my money! I wanted to buy it for either DS or Playstation 2.
Has anyone played the Playstation version, or is only the DS version out?

Combustion Man and Hama are in the game? I can't wait to see them chibi-fied. Hearing that the game plays like Phantom Hourglass sounds great too, I really enjoyed that game. Although I must admit that I am a little sad that the past Avatar games' sprite style doesn't return, from what I've seen the new graphics do look pretty cool. So how does the bending work? Is it tapping on the touch screen, or pressing buttons? Are there any mini-games like in the past Avatar DS games? @alexia: The Wii and PS2 versions of the game are already out, although I've heard the PS2 controls are more difficult to use because it's a port of the Wii controls.

Bending is mainly dragging elements or sliding them against enemies and such.
Though ti's different because bloodbending is when you hold the enemy and make them move. It really depends. Most of the time however you will be using elements from convenient boulder piles or water streams.
For Zuko it's burning crates.
I finished the game, and I was disappointed that it lacked a more intricate battle system, but it was fun! I think I give the game a 7.6/10 because they don't have free mode where you just run around as a bender like I always wanted D:<
Though I've yet to try the multiplayer games and volleyball things.
Btw, Azula is a pain in the butt.
The bosses are pretty difficult, it took me a while to figure out what to do against Hama. Combustion man is annoyingly fast.
Azula is annoying fast/strong/godmodded etc..
And the final fight with Ozai is interesting because he gains SPOILERS
the body-expansion jutsu from the comet where he becomes this giant who flings fire balls/lightning at you. Though as Aang you get to use the 4 elemetns to deflect and attack him.
What I did love is seeing character's combining their attacks to do new things, especially Sokka/Zuko

Well...I got it today, but I don't know when I'll get to play it. It's 7:00 PM now and I have to go to work as midnight, so I'm going to try and catch a nap before then. I don't finish untill 8:00 AM, so tomorrow's out. I have to work the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that.
I might get to look at it on Friday...

My mom got tired of waiting for it, so she got something else for my brother. Now it's up to me to find it and it's nowhere to be found in these parts. It sounds like it's really nice. I hope I can find it, if not there will be one very unhappy little boy come Christmas morning!

I got it at EB on Saturday, I just haven't had a chance to play it yet. The cover is not very colourful...it's kind of easy to overlook. At least I think so...
