, Prince Zuko
, and the Blue Spirit who's Zuko in disguise. Players play as Aang to use amazing Airbending powers such as Air Vortexes and Tornados to manipulate the environment and control the elements, playing as Prince Zuko uses destructive Firebending bombs, blasts and more to battle for power and playing as the Blue Spirit uses stealth moves and sword attacks.
s presenters gave the Wii version a score of 4.5 and 4 out of 10. They critiscised the absence of being able to block attacks which they believed would've been easy to include. Also that the levels felt pretty repetitive, the Avatar mode was annoying having to repeat the sequence every time after making a mistake and the character's controls felt bit too sensitive which would lead to falling off edges. Also playing as the Blue Spirit it was hard to turn him around when in stealth mode. With the co-op arena mode they said they enjoyed and is pretty simple however disappointed that there was no co-op story mode.
