Rating Summary

In this action adventure game, players control a nine-foot tall, blue-skinned alien that uses its native environment as both camouflage and weapon, stalking humans through the tall grass and through trees. As a Na'vi, players spend the majority of the game fighting against occupying soldiers, usually by hitting them with a staff or grabbing them by the throat and throwing them down. Most of these "stealth attacks" appear in slow motion; other times, they are depicted off-screen (e.g., hard "staff hits" after a soldier has been dispatched). Players can also use a bow and arrow to take down soldiers on the ground or helicopters in the sky; light flashes or small explosions appear at the point of impact. Throughout the game, Na'vi are depicted wearing loincloths or bikini-type outfits (for the females) that expose moderate amounts of cleavage; their buttocks are somewhat visible (although hidden by their tails) during gameplay, and particularly during cutscenes. The expletives "damn" and "hell" can be heard in the dialogue. Overall, while many aspects of the game are fantastical/sci-fi, the targeted bow-and-arrow shooting, the stealth attacks, and the presence of machine gunfire contribute to the Teen rating.
