It's very different than most other games, but this is a sweet gaming experience with fun action and great gameplay.
It's hard to say anything else than good things about the graphics in Kameo. The characters, the environments and all the fantastic lighting effects all make this game shine. The game often looks like a newly released Pixar film, but no...this is Rare's Kameo in High Definition. HDTV is highly recommended to fully enjoy the visuals in this game, but of course it also looks great on a regular TV. The reason I'm not giving the game 10/10 is because I think the 360 can do more.
The sounds are great with some Lord of the Rings sound alike music, and some jolly happy tunes as well. The sound effects are great with almost every character having their own voices. The one thing that forces the score down is the acting done by Kameo's voice. She overplays every single line, and ends up sounding ridiculous. The rest of the actors have done a good job.
The gameplay in Kameo is just great. The whole game evolves around you changing into these monsters. There are ten in all, and they are divided into 5 groups. Flame, water, rock, ice, and plant monsters. They are all awesome, and can be upgraded with several fancy attacks and so on. Upgrading them requires 1-3 Elemental Fruits, which can be found or earned by doing favors. The fact that Kameo herself can't do anything else than hovering, jumping and kicking forces you to almost constantly being these monsters. Which isn't negative at all, cause they are just so cool! They all have different abilities such as climbing ice walls, melting ice, diving underwater, or shooting rocks. You will need to use every monster alot to get through this varied adventure, which will last you around 10 hours to finish. But after having finished the game there are still things to collect, and level records to beat so that you can unlock bonus features! Kameo isn't long, nor is it hard, but it's a new kind of platform game that offers great entertainment from start to finish. This is one of the few Xbox360 launch games that's worth buying.
