Developed by Halfbrick Studios and published by THQ, Avatar: The Legend of Aang arrived on the Game Boy Advance as an adventure game.

It is part of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series; on the GBA you can also try Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth and Avatar: The Legend of Aang: The Burning Earth. Halfbrick Studios also made Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island and SpongeBob SquarePants and Friends: Battle for Volcano Island for the GBA.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want fast action rather than puzzles and exploration
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Avatar: The Legend of Aang is like

Adventure games focus on exploration, story and puzzle-solving rather than combat. Progress comes from examining your surroundings, collecting items and figuring out how they fit together.

Tip for newcomers: Classic adventure games can be cryptic by modern standards. Take notes, try everything on everything, and save before risky choices.
