The Burning Earth starts off at the beginning of Book Two in the Avatar series. Aang is now a master Waterbender so he sets off with Sokka and Katara to learn about Earthbending. The game covers a chunk of the second season hitting some major plot points and episode like "The Swamp ""The Blind Bandit " and "The Drill." Along the way the cast meets up with Toph Bei Fong the blind master Earthbender. Fans of the show will notice that some events are either glossed over or moved around. It makes sense to condense the story but the game ends right after the drill attack on Ba Sing Se with everyone happy and relieved a much different tone from the end of the second season of the show. It feels like the game isn't so much for fans of the series but fans of the previous DS game.
