Avatar: The Last Airbender – Into the Inferno

''This article is about the game. For the episode with a similar name, see Sozin's Comet, Part 3: Into The Inferno'' "Avatar: the Last Airbender - Into the Inferno" (Avatar: the Legend of Aang - Into the Inferno in Europe) is a video game based on the Avatar animated series. The game's setting is taken from the events of Book 3: Fire. It was released on October 13, 2008 in the US and on November 1, 2008 in the UK.

Plot
Avatar Aang awakens on a captured Fire Nation ship with his friends, recovered from the ordeal in Ba Sing Se. They hear the horn of a approaching ship and make their way to the back, where they fight off Firebending soldiers. Aang finds out about the plan to invade the Fire Nation during a solar eclipse, which will render the Firebenders powerless. They realizes they are in need supplies, so they venture to a Fire Nation town disguised as civilians. Afterwards they discover a Fire Nation factory is polluting and hurting the people of a village called Jang Hui. Aang and Katara use Waterbending to destroy the factory and save the village. They catch the attention of General Mung, who they must defeat.

During the Invasion, Sokka and Toph secure a tower so Aang and Toph can defeat Fire Lord Ozai. It turns out Princess Azula tricked them into fighting the Dai Li instead. Prince Zuko joins the Avatar's group when the invasion plan fails, and helps them escape. Later Sokka and Zuko sneak into The Boiling Rock, a Fire Nation prison, and free Hakoda and Suki. Azula and Ty Lee try to stop them from escaping, but Mai intervenes, which gives them an opportunity. At The Western Air Temple, Toph and Sokka fight off the Combustion Man while Zuko and Aang find and solve the Chamber of the Elements to contact Avatar Roku.

Preparing to use the power of Sozin's Comet to destroy the Earth Kingdom, Azula is proclaimed the new Fire Lord while Ozai declares himself the Phoenix King. Zuko must fight and defeat Azula, with the help of Katara. Afterwards, Aang and Katara must defeat the Phoenix King Ozai to stop the Fire Nation.



Gameplay
Gameplay styles vary widely on the different platforms, as the game has two different versions. One for the Wii/PS2 and one for the Nintendo DS.

In the Nintendo DS version, the characters have very large heads, giving the game a cartoonish feel similar in design to the super deformed shorts. One of the DS screenshots show that Katara's ice bridge ability will return from the previous games. Sokka's boomerang is used to break hard to reach objects or to solve puzzles. It has been discovered (in the screenshots) that you draw a path for the boomerang to follow. Also Toph can Earthbend small platforms to get over gaps with spikes.

The Wii/PS2 version has a new style of gameplay different from prevous Avatar games. Aang can Airbend an "air ball" to break down obstacles and blow away objects by shaking the Wii Remote. Toph can slide earth out of rock walls to reach the top by sliding the Wii Remote backwards. Katara can guide water by standing on a puddle of water pressing "A button" and moving the Wii remote in the right direction to put out fires. The pointer can act as a star and the light of a flashlight.
