"Avatar: The Last Airbender" has Wii and PC games that showcase its characters and their personal abilities. As of 2011, there were three Wii games based on "Avatar." "The Burning Earth" from 2007, the second in the series, was rated highest by the video game website IGN. IGN praised its two-player mode, a feature the first game lacked, but knocked its fighting as "too straightforward and repetitive."
