User Rating: 8.9 | Kameo: Elements of Power X360
When I first looked at Kameo: Elements of Power I thought it looked like a bargain bin 360 game. It came out right when the system did, and it seemed to me like it had a dumb title. Sorry judging book by its cover. Nevertheless, I bought the game. After playing it all the way through I have to say it was one of the most fun games I have ever played. It's definitely not full of crazy action, but it is a great action/adventure game with a very focused and easy to follow story. I love games that have a good story. To me, without a good story the game isn't worth it (which is why I don't like any of the free roaming games like Grand Theft Auto, etc.) Kameo's story is immersive and draws you in quickly. Most of the game deals with trying to solve various puzzles. Instead of always "being Kameo" though, you have the ability to transform your body into various other beings that have special adaptive abilities. Some are good for fighting, or climbing, or rolling, or throwing, or you name it. So the real trick to the game is figuring out which character to use when. The morphing/transforming thing sounds complicated, but is extremely easy to use, because all it takes to do is hitting one button and the transformation takes place immediately. All in all this game is worth picking up, especially since you can get it for about half the price of some other 360 games.
