This game surprised me. I bought Kameo for my daughter and I ended up trying it. I couldn't stop playing the game. It is a smart platformer, with a little role playing and puzzles.

The graphics are great and well thought out and the sound is perfect.

There were a few areas in the game that were tough, but something I noticed is that the game does not punish you too bad and gives you ways to keep playing. If you are getting beat up the game will give you health when you defeat something. For example, I remember running around one of the bosses for close to 15 minutes , defeating his little minions, while I figured out his weakness. All the while when I was low on health, his minions would supply health pickups.

I think it is worth a play for anyone that likes a little challenge and lots of fun.

Star of the Launch Titles

This game was a big suprise to me. I bought almost all of the launch titles, except sports games, and I couldn't stop playing this! I have a habit of starting alot of games and never finishing them, this game I played straight through.

Bad Game

Reviewed by a92201 on December 17, 2007  |  report this review

When I first got my Xbox 360 a year ago at Christmas, I figured I couldn't just have sports game so I decided to buy another game to go along with NBA Live 2006, FIFA and NHL 2k6. I chose Kameo because it was receiving rave reviews and said to myself, well the whole world can't be wrong right? FIFA was a total dud and NBA Live was the game I considered the worst on the Xbox 360, but then I played this game... either the whole world has a completely different idea of what a good game is or I'm simply a moron.

Graphics 6/10

Breathtaking at times, crappy at others. The game seems to be better looking during big battles with all the soldiers and the baddies, or when you can see the scenary. The Kameo character herself isn't that well designed and actually kinda looks like a character you would see on Reboot ( damn I hated that show). All the different creature concepts are ok but I've never seen a wimpier looking dragon in my life.

Music/Sound 6/10

Meh... it didn't impress me but I wasn't annoyed by the music or the sound effects. In fact, when I play this game ( which now is...never) I usually upload my own music so I don't really care about this game's audio track.

Gameplay 5/10

I really hated the controls for this game. The attacks buttons were usually the shoulder buttons and you would transform Kameo using the B,X and Y buttons. In the heat of the action, I would always mistakenly transform my character in to another creature because I would always assume my attack button was the B button.

Fun-Factor (Replay ability) 0/10

Not once while I was playing this game did I think: " Aw...man I don't really want to finish it because it's just so darn good" All I was thinking was... " The creators of this game should all be rounded up, put in a room and forced to play this game 24/7 until each of them died". Still I played it all the way to the end thinking it would get better... it didn't. The only way I could see myself playing this game again is if a very large man with a tear tatooed below his face threatened to kill me if I didn't play it with him. Even then, I'm not sure I wouldn't choose to die, a game like this won't be certainly won't be admitted into the after-life ( if there is such a thing).

Conclusion

I miss the glory days when Rare made good games like Donkey Kong. I think it might actually be Donkey Kong who designed this game. After playing this, I think I wouldn't mind listening to all the Backstreet Boys albums back to back, at least then I might learn a thing or to about how to dance like a idiot. 2.75/10 I would even give NBA Live 2006 a better rating than this bomb. So remember if somebody ever asks you if you want to play Kameo with them, do them a favor take the game disc and just snap it in half.

The next generation of gaming is off to a very good start. As the first Xbox 360 game to be released, Kameo: Elements of Power turns out to be a fitting showcase for Microsoft's powerful new console. For that matter, the game's really no worse for wear despite several production delays during its many long years in development. This colorful, creative action adventure game is one of the most family-friendly titles among the Xbox 360's starting lineup, but it'll provide a great experience for just about any kind of game player. It's packed with clever and entertaining action, not to mention some of the most highly impressive, razor-sharp graphics you've ever seen, along with terrific music and sound. Kameo feels rather disjointed at first, and it's not a particularly long game, but it ultimately provides a rousing, memorable journey that'll be a fine way to excitedly spend some of your first hours with the new Xbox.

Kameo: Elements of Power takes a little time to get warmed up, but it packs in one great adventure once it gets going.
There's not much preamble at first, since the game thrusts you straightaway into a fairly challenging battle without bothering with a proper introduction. You play as Kameo, a slender elf princess with fairy wings and the unique ability to transform into a variety of different, unusual creatures. She's single-handedly assaulting an ominous castle occupied by untold numbers of surly trolls and their ugly, presumably smelly industrial contraptions. It turns out that Kameo's wicked sister, Kalus, is apparently in league with the vile troll king, Thorn. Together they've kidnapped Kameo's family and now threaten the Enchanted Kingdom, Kameo's home. So Kameo does what any young lady would do in her place, assuming that young lady could also transform into a yeti, a plant with boxing gloves, and a roly-poly elephant-mole thing at the drop of a hat.

The opening level of Kameo definitely shows off the game's fantastic visuals and audio (made exponentially better if your Xbox 360 is hooked up to a high-definition display and a 5.1 surround-sound system), as well as its distinctive mechanics. Provided you have some experience with other action adventure games, this one's easy to pick up and play, thanks partly to the responsiveness of the Xbox 360's excellent but familiar gamepad and partly to the onscreen prompts that constantly remind you which buttons perform which functions. Controlling the action from a third-person perspective, you can make Kameo run around (or hover around more quickly) using the left analog stick, and you can freely rotate the camera using the right stick. Kameo's attacks and other moves are mapped to the shoulder buttons, while her transformations are mapped
