Kameo: Elements of Power

Kameo: Elements of Power is a simply beautiful game, and one of the first released for the Xbox 360. Kameo really shows off the muscle of the system, with excellent water effects, breathtaking scenery, and multitudes of enemies on-screen at once. And that's only the visuals! Rare has once again proven their excellence with another game that's both fun and challenging, but not frustrating. Like their Banjo-Kazooie and Conker series (Nintendo 64, Xbox), Kameo features some interesting characters and challenging puzzles, and like their Perfect Dark series (Nintendo 64, Xbox 360), the combat is very well done, at times putting our heroine Kameo in the middle of the vast hordes of Trolls attempting to invade her kingdom.

For the player who just goes from point A to point B, this game may seem short, but it's full of collectables (is this a Rare trademark?) that greatly add to the replay value. Enough talk, let's get on with the guide, shall we?
