December -- and Phil Theobald checked it out for us a few days ago at an Ubi event in San Francisco. According to him, the team wants to make a game so nice, you'll have to play it twice. That's once as the paramilitary RDA and as one of the blue-skinned Na'vi:
"At a crucial point, you are given a choice: do you continue to work with the RDA or will you turn against your fellow humans and help the Na'vi defend their home? Your decision affects which character you play as for the remainder of the game, and there are separate human and Na'vi stages and missions. For the full experience, you'll want to play through Avatar at least twice to ensure that you've seen everything that it has to offer."
Read more of his preview here, and let us know if you're excited for the game and the movie!

movie might be good........game not so much
spicypooptastic
Why are people hating on this movie so much? I think the game could be good, I mean that wolverine game was good.
Maybe its better for people to expect it to suck and then be good then have unrealistic expectations. Probably why I like Red Faction so much
pmc_soap
i think it will be like star wars battlefront in the multiplayer
Spybreak
Ok I'll play it twice maybe but than again I played Mass Effect 4 times and I'm actually going through my 5th playthrough now!
pantycricket
neither the game or the movie will be worth anything to write home to mommy about, unless your complaining bout them both
bebopsamba
looks fun in a way. what happens if the movie sucks. they change their story and say it was meant to be a game not a movie?
