A very good, but short game. Nice graphics, nice story. An absolute bargain for less than £3. The first game to be released for the Xbox 360, and as such it is quite impressive. Weel worth buying for the price.
Excellent Game although When I bough Xbox 360 the first time I bought this game but did not play it and now I feel Great to play it.
Over the course of the last few years Kameo has been written about by more IGN editors and for more consoles than almost any other single game. That's why it's a bit unbelievable that in less than two weeks the world will finally get to play the Rare title that has been around longer than Microsoft has been in the video game industry. In the past week we played through the retail version of the game on a retail Xbox 360. This is it folks: the version you'll find on shelves at launch day, under the tree on Christmas morning, and in the disc tray of your gleaming new console right after you plug it in. So are the adventures of the shape-shifting fairy been worth the wait? Read on to find out. Probably the most pressing question in people's mind is how the game holds up technically. There's been plenty of chatter over the past six months over the power of the X360, frame rates, and Rare's ability to ever complete a game. Know this: the visuals are silky smooth, there are no hang-ups, loading times are breezy, and the frame rate rocks. I have to admit that seeing the game in motion had me breathing a sigh of relief and I'm sure upon reading this the wealthy consumers who purchased the omega bundle are getting the same warm fuzzy feeling. Powered By Elvin Energy The game opens dramatically as Kameo storms a foreboding castle in hopes of rescuing her family. Players begin with access to three alternate forms which have been displayed prominently in our earlier previews. As a refresher, the premise of Kameo is that the main character has the ability to morph into different creatures. Each of the forms has powers that allow players to access certain areas, solve puzzles, and kill individual enemies. The opening scene acts as a prologue and a tutorial and as it comes to a close Kameo loses all of her powers and must start from scratch back at home in the Enchanted Kingdom. The rest of the game is a quest to regain the ten elemental spirits and eventually take on Kameo's evil sister and her accomplice Thorn, The King of Trolls. The search takes gamers to four themed areas that lie on the outskirts of a huge open expanse known as the Badlands. There's a murky swamp, an aquatic paradise, an icy village, and Thorn's piping hot base of operations. Each of the zones in Kameo are a mix between habitable towns, puzzles, and hazards. When gamers enter the forest to recapture one of their first elemental spirits they'll find shops and townspeople scattered about the level. Mixing the "friendly zones" into the levels makes the world feel more like a whole and it means that every section of the game is dense with activity. There is hardly any dead space in Kameo, players are constantly engaged and challenged with clever puzzles. The only real traveling takes place on the Badlands which is also the setting for an ongoing battle between armies of the elves and trolls, so if players choose to cross this area on foot they'll have to plow through continuous warfare. The Enchanted Kingdom works as sort of a hub that can warp Kameo to all of the areas, but if she does choose to make the trip without the help of magic there is also a trusty steed that accelerates the journey. These excursions into the Badlands are a great change of pace to the puzzle solving that comes with each zone. Gamers can spend long stretches of time engaged in endless combat on the Badlands toying with hundred of trolls and elves while practicing the various moves.Read full review
The game was rather disappointing for me. It was far to short,I would have liked a bit more detail in the story and gameplay. The story is mostly what is printed on the back of the box, it goes no further then that,plus it also is a bit hard to follow if you don't check what the story is due to a serious lack of main character dialogue through the game. It's gameplay is very like the Spiro series, but lacks the Spiro series comedy and crispness. The game feels a bit like someone has got halfway through the plot and design of the game and though "Ahhh that'll do, I'm bored of this now" and hurried through it. A few points were quite pleasing though. 1: Once you get used to the awkward controls, they are quite satisfying to use. The very quick morphing between the elements and easy sorting system never gets frustrating as similar games can be clunky and irritating after a while. 2:An added bonus is galloping between lands on a horse and smacking trolls out of the way. But it never fails to please in any game this. 3: The game is quite pleasing on the eye, in a simple sort of way. You wouldn't be able to call it stunning (by far) but it is pleasant enough to play through, especially considering it's age. 4: the multiplayer is fun. The game is much more entertaining to play with someone else. To sum it up, The game is enjoyable to play, but you sometimes get points where you feel a bit like the plot s being fed to you in very small, bite sized pieces, instead of living the plot with or through the character. It leads to you feeling a bit cheatedand the game's been rushed. I've given it 3/5 because even though it has it's downsides and is very short (I completed it in 9 hours)it is a good play. It certainly comes together more if you play it with someone else more then alone, which is what I would suggest you did if purchasing this game.Read full review
