James Cameron's ambitious sci-fi epic 'Avatar' took audiences on a breathtaking journey to the lush planet of Pandora in theaters worldwide. However, for those who couldn't experience the film's stunning visuals firsthand or simply wanted more time immersed within its richly detailed world, Electronic Arts (EA) and Radical Entertainment crafted an action-packed tie-in game that promised to deliver all the excitement of Cameron's blockbuster on a smaller screen.

Released alongside 'Avatar' in 2009 for various platforms including PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS - with later ports also appearing on PC and other handheld systems like PSP Go and iPhone/iPad devices (in some regions), 'James Cameron's Avatar: The Game' aimed to transport players into the shoes of Jake Sully (voiced by Sam Worthingal in most versions) as he navigated through Pandora's lush forests, treacherous jungles and vast open plains.

The game follows a largely faithful narrative arc to its big brother film. Players take control of paraplegic Marine Corporal J.J. 'JAKE' SULLY (referred to simply as Jake throughout the article), who has been sent on assignment to Pandora after suffering severe spinal cord injuries during an Iroquoisian ambush that left him confined to a wheel chair.

Upon arrival, Jake undergoes an invasive genetic engineering procedure known as The Avatar Program designed by scientist Dr. Mombuson (played by Giovanni Ribisi) which allows humans with damaged nervous systems like himself to temporarily inhabit the bodies of tall blue-skinned alien creatures called Na'vi - giving them strength agility and reflexes far beyond anything possible for regular humankind.

With his new avatar form allowing him to walk again, Jake soon finds himself torn between completing his mission objectives (which mostly involve killing off rival corporate agents) while also developing strong bonds with the native inhabitants of Pandora whom he comes to regard as kin.
