Not too original, but still enjoyable gameplay.

I had rather high expectations from kameo considering that the team making it was rare, and at the end I enjoyed it, but was hoping for a little more. The game takes you into the elven world. A long time ago, old wars with elves and trolls, yadda yadda... it's sort of a story of LOTR for kids. Despite the storyline, the core gameplay itself hits the spot in an interesting shapeshifting frenzy. You'll get about 10 of these little(and big) buggers, with specific uses for each one. Remember LoZ Majora's Mask? Yeah, I think rare was playing this a bit much and decided to give it a try. And it works well, making it more interesting with having to use combinations of each.
The presentation is stellar, and the graphics are pretty nice as well. The audio is what it definitely needed to be. In the end it took about 8 hours to go through from start to finish, I just wished the storyline was a little more engaging than kill everyone and solve puzzles to beat the evil under-powered troll. Maybe it's just me.
