Cheat Code Central
It's a solid platforming adventure that does not involve much depth, but definitely gives fans of the series, as well as the younger sect, a game they can enjoy.

Official Xbox Magazine
If you played last year's "Avatar: The Last Airbender", you'll know pretty much what to expect from this sequel, although this time around the game looks cleaner, offers new combos, and has a larger list of characters, including Appa, Jet, Toph, Zuko, and Uncle Iroh. [Holiday 2007, p.82]

Worth Playing
For a licensed game, Avatar: The Last Airbender — The Burning Earth turned out to be a pleasant surprise. While it is ultimately bound by some of its limitations, THQ's development team deserves some praise for at least doing a solid job on the product — other than the ludicrous decision that led to the game's achievements listing.

GameZone
Button-mashing is strictly generic and offers nothing new for next-gen gamers. The attempts at quick-time events fall flat.

GameDaily
Sporting unintelligible artificial intelligence, a psychotic camera, redundant combat and visuals that look like a high-res version of an early PS2 game, Avatar turns out to be a disappointment.

Avatar is poorly adapted into a poor game with poor visuals. [Jan 2008, p.82]

X360 Magazine UK
Rubbish, boring combat. [Issue 27, p.99]

Ben M. gave it a2:
Thorough the game nothing really seemed to spark my interest.

Bobby S. gave it an8:
It was pretty fun for a kids brawler. I think has so much more potential if it wasn't aimed at kids

Chapter 4 is awesome.

Bruce W. gave it a10:
This is an excellent co-op 2 player kids game.

Avatar A. gave it a10:
If you're a fan of Avatar, you'll enjoy the game. Coop is a blast when played with your kids.
