Take part in either the Forest or Water Tribe of the Na'Vi alien species, or enlist in the RDA : the evil organisation comming to exploit their ressources and destroy their planet. As the Crisis developps, unexpected alliances may arise due to the extreme circumstances : Will the Na'Vi make a united front against their powerfull agressors, or will one of them take advantage of the situation to save themselves and assert dominance over their rival tribe?
