    Kameo Elements of Power was supposed to set the Xbox 360 community on its ear. I don’t know if it quite accomplished that task, but is the game anywhere near the hype that surrounded it. Read more

    Kameo: Elements of Power is the type of launch game that every new console needs. Its cutesy image may not appeal to the hardcore crowd, but the core game is nearly flawless. Read more

    Rare is back and if you can't admit it, you must have a grudge. Sure this isn't Zelda but I am glad it isn't since it's a brand new experience that will see the daylight in comic books and movies. Read more

    • All 10 characters are fun to use. Impressive all around
    • A tad too short. Needed more massive battles

    This game is easy to recommend. If you're one of those people who follow Rare's career closer than Jessica Simpson's personal life, you probably already own this game. Read more

    • This game exists in a fantastic world where two major factions live: elves and trolls. Kameo is an elf, daughter of the benevolent ruler of the elves who – until recently – had secured a truce between the mean green trolls...
    • For all the time spent developing this game, it's disappointing to see some of the pratfalls so often seen in launch titles like these, which are obvious signs of development rushing to get the game out along with the syst...

    Not so long ago (although the galaxy seems far, far away) 3D Rare platformers were among the most anticipated games in the world. Their brand was synonymous with Nintendo and blockbuster status was a forgone conclusion. Read more

    This form-changing adventure game is worth checking out. Don't let the cartoonish appearance of this game fool you. It is a lot of fun to play.Save Kameo's family from the Evil Troll Thorn. Read more

    The band behind the hit song "Word Up" finally gets its own ga -- wait, this chick wasn't in the band. And what's with these weird animal things? Read more

    • The different Warriors add some great variety to the gameplay; cool boss fights; it looks fantastic.
    • You occasionally have to struggle with the camera and the controls; the combat can get repetitive; the co-op mode isn't very fun.

    Kameo stars the young girl of the same name and puts her in an epic quest to release her family members and put a stop to her sister's evil ways. Read more

    • Great Graphics, EPIC soundtrack, Great Fantasy setting
    • Too short, Where's the story?, Controls get tiresome

    I've played this game before and loved it, and would recommend it to anyone who asks. However, I purchased this game used through Amazon, and when it arrived, it had a huge scratch across the entire surface of the game,... Read more

    • presentation, puzzles, gameplay
    • controls feel stiff and the frequent mini bosses are a chore

    I purchased this game for the sole purpose of adding it to my collection. At the time of purchase, the box art shown was the original box art. Read more

    • Fun family game. A nice change from the numerous shooters available on the system. Graphics still hold up, even though it was a launch title. If you have younger children (but old enough to handle 3D controls), it's a no-b...
    • While I enjoyed the game, it may be too cutesy for a lot of "hardcore" gamers. Might not keep your attention for long due to the simplistic nature of the adventuring and combat.

    The graphics and sound are the high points of this game, and they aren't that high. The controls are silly, the plot is non-existent, the puzzles are childishly easy, and the replay value is nil. Read more

    • Graphics and music aren't bad.
    • I could've beaten this when I was 8.

    Put very simply, if you're missing the days of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and haven't got a Nintendo to play it on, or indeed don't have access to Twilight Princess, then Kameo is the closest thing - and it's a Read more

    This game, released in November 2005 with the Xbox 360’s debut, still manages to be one of the best games made for the console, even with the influx of high quality second-generation titles. Read more

    I thought this was a fun game - i like the whole collecting different creatures to help you in battle. The creatures are themselves quite funny - especially some of the facial expressions and sound effects. Read more
