Ubisoft is excited to finally be able to demonstrate some gameplay footage for their upcoming video game tie-in for James Cameron's Avatar and they want to know what you think!

The tweeted the announcement earlier today and linked to the video which you can watch below.  The footage is introduced by Ubisoft Executive Producer,  Patrick Naud.

I'm glad Ubisoft is making this tie-in. As we know, the vast majority of movie-based games tend to fall on the side of suck but this looks good.  Ubisoft is know for making beautiful quality games and I expect the same from them here. That and the fact that it's based on James Cameron's largest and most anticipated project ever - they want it done right.

As for the footage, the graphics are certainly up there but I wonder how much of a system hog it'll be on the PC. The gameplay wasn't anything new, nor was the dodge-and-shoot basic boss battle. The vehicle play looks promising but I hope there's some neat surprises for in store for us.

The instant selling point for me would have been a co-op feature, but it will not feature such an option.

Poor indigenous creatures, what did they do to you?

What do you think of the footage?
