In Kameo you take the role of a little princess from a cartoony world, and you travel into other worlds trying to stop the goblin trolls from taking over. Your princess isn't much to fight with as she is basically a weak fairy; however throughout the game you find magical monsters that you can harness to be your allies. Using magic, your princess turns into these monsters, controlling them and their unique abilities' and features. Once again, rareware pulled through on the visuals and charm of the game. All the monsters, including the baddies are awesome. The monsters you turn into vary greatly and all have different capabilities. While one can scale walls and cliffs as the form of a sabre toothed polar bear, you can roll around battle fields, crushing your enemies as a giant pre-historic looking tortoise. This is only two of many more monsters you can turn into and control making the game a joy to play. You can switch manifestations at any stage in the game, so you during combat you can roll your way through the regiments of trolls, then turn into the bear on the other side, and launch icicles from your back at them as they try to recover and regroup. Thats not to mention you can also turn into a dragon, and blunder the large game world, flaming green crocodile looking goblins into oblivion. Cool? I think so. While Kameo was a release game for the xbox 360, I still think it holds up to most cartoony games today. Rareware always make awesome characters in charming worlds combined with easy controls and a joy to play for all ages. Kameo is a pretty tough game, having some frustrating "puzzle solving" moments however they are few and far between. It's been a while since I played it, but I can honestly say it is a fun game to just pick up and play, as are all of Rare's creations.
