Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth (known as Avatar: The Legend of Aang – The Burning Earth in Europe) is a 2007 video game for Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, Wii, and Xbox 360 based on the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. It was one of the last games released for the Game Boy Advance in North America and Europe.[6] It is the sequel to the 2006 game Avatar: The Last Airbender. The game was followed by a sequel, Avatar: The Last Airbender – Into the Inferno, in 2008.

The Xbox 360 version is known for the ease with which the full 1000 Gamerscore points can be unlocked in under five minutes.[7]

Plot

[edit]

The Burning Earth is based on the second season, Book 2: Earth, of the television series. The game begins with Team Avatar arriving at an Earth Kingdom base where they confront General Fong, who seeks to trigger Aang's Avatar State to overthrow the Fire Nation. After defeating Fong's forces, Aang enters the Avatar State to stop him. The team then heads to the Earth Kingdom city of Omashu, where they face a Fire Nation flag and discover the city renamed New Ozai. They rescue Appa and head to Earth Rumble VI, where Aang competes and identifies Toph as his future earthbending teacher. They later explore a swamp and receive visions, encounter the Blind Bandit at Earth Rumble VI, and convince her, Toph, to teach Aang earthbending. The gang investigates a library for Fire Nation plans, confronts the Dai Li, and frees Appa from Lake Laogai. They warn the Earth King of an upcoming drill attack and ultimately sabotage it with a battle against Azula and Zuko. The game concludes with Azula plotting her revenge.[8]
