We're still around six weeks away from the theatrical debut of "Avatar," James Cameron's long-awaited return to the director's chair. But you'll have the chance to whet your appetite earlier than that. Ubisoft Montreal has been toiling away at James Cameron's Avatar: The Game for some time -- it releases in early December -- and Phil Theobald checked it out for us a few days ago at an Ubi event in San Francisco. According to him, the team wants to make a game so nice, you'll have to play it twice. That's once as the paramilitary RDA and as one of the blue-skinned Na'vi:

"At a crucial point, you are given a choice: do you continue to work with the RDA or will you turn against your fellow humans and help the Na'vi defend their home? Your decision affects which character you play as for the remainder of the game, and there are separate human and Na'vi stages and missions. For the full experience, you'll want to play through Avatar at least twice to ensure that you've seen everything that it has to offer."

Read more of his preview here, and let us know if you're excited for the game and the movie!

looks fun in a way. what happens if the movie sucks. they change their story and say it was meant to be a game not a movie?

Why are people hating on this movie so much? I think the game could be good, I mean that wolverine game was good.

Maybe its better for people to expect it to suck and then be good then have unrealistic expectations. Probably why I like Red Faction so much
