Kameo stands and delivers......but not for very long!

User Rating: 8.4 | Kameo: Elements of Power X360
Kameo, 1 of 2 360 launch titles from Rare, with its Highly Addictive Gameplay, Great Sound and Good Graphics looked like a good start for the 360, but is Kameo all its out to be.

In my honest opinion, sort of, the game oddly forces you to go through and complete a short level before it teaches you the basic controls, an odd way to go about it, i know. From thereon your told the story of how Kalus became jealous of Kameo and in her jealousy became evil and unlocked the troll king, Thorn.

Here on in is where the real meat lies, your sent out to rescue your ancestors and collect the 10 elemental sprites. Heres where Kameo's biggest fault lies, while there are 10 elemental sprites you seem to find and collect them rather too quick and you soon find that the game flies by. Kameo's other major fault is the difficulty level of this game, its far too easy to finish. The boss fights aren't as hard as they should be and most of the time require no thought at all, the Wotnot book makes life even easier, the hint system barely gives you chance to think about the situation at hand. As for the Co-Op in Kameo, its not all its made out to be, it consists of action levels rather than allowing you to do the entire game as a pair, which to me completely destroys Kameo's replayability.

Overall Kameo's gameplay, graphics and sound make it a sure hit for anyone who's keen on action/adventure games. The achievement system in this game is very rewarding, a little too rewarding some might say.
