Wind whips and disorientates, twirling foes with nicking attacks that spiral up into high combos. Water allows you to hoist Korra into the air on a whirling spout, hurling gobbets of liquid at your enemies.

Earth is slow and methodical, smashing through enemy blocks and dealing damage in health bar-decimating chunks. The four fighting styles are pleasingly distinct.

The game's first stage offers you full control of the elements: you switch between each elemental stance with a button press, changing your attack type and move-set in kind. Korra is an 'avatar', a human who is able to control all the four elements in battle: earth, fire, wind and water.

You play as Korra, the protagonist of the eponymous series - Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino's televised sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Boss battles are repetitive, with multiple face-offs with the same trio of antagonists or 30-foot robot/ spirit creature. To offset the budget production values, publisher Activision has set a low price point, which makes its shortcomings somewhat easier to overlook in order to enjoy its better-hidden strengths. It bears many of the hallmarks of a work-for-hire project rushed to meet a Christmas deadline: a short campaign, rudimentary menus, bland enemy designs, effect-less collectable items and a paucity of game assets (many of the game's foes use the same character model in different-coloured clothing, while the streets in which you fight are almost empty). This goes some way to explain The Legend of Korra, an Activision-published tie-in to the Nickelodeon cartoon series that has been quietly developed by Platinum, presumably as a stopgap. There are electricity bills to pay at the end of each month, staff salaries to meet and, without a guaranteed stream of work, Platinum, like Treasure or Sumo Digital, must hustle to make payroll in a way that Miyamoto and his colleagues do not. But Platinum is a gun for hire, as equally willing to step in to salvage a Metal Gear spin-off as it is to birth a Bayonetta in order to keep going. Such bright constellations of designers are usually only found clustered around the ancient behemoths of the industry - Nintendo, Activision, once-upon-a-time Sega - those who have the wealth to attract, nurture and keep the famous names.

With its trio of high-profile founders - Atsushi Inaba, Shinji Mikami and Hideki Kamiya - it's easy to forget that Platinum Games remains an independent video game studio.
