Kameo: Elements of Power

Kameo: Elements of Power is a 2005 action adventure video game for the Xbox 360 developed by Rare and published by Microsoft. It was a (pre-)launch title for the Xbox 360 and was released before the console as the game was released on November 15, 2005.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Kameo, the titular fairy and character you control throughout the game, has an ability to summon one of ten different "Elemental Warriors". She controls them and can be seen inside the warriors.
 * 2) Each elemental warrior has a different purpose. For example Ash is a dragon who can breath fire, Pummel Weed is a plant person who can fight with boxing moves and dig underground, Deep Blue can swim underwater, and Major Ruin can roll and launch himself up quarter pipes.
 * 3) The elemental warriors can be upgraded using fruit collected in the world.
 * 4) Multiplayer modes are included such as Co-op and versus.
 * 5) Varied levels.
 * 6) There are three epic scale fights that occur between in the main hub world.
 * 7) Good graphics, which are impressive as a launch title for the Xbox 360.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Strange control scheme that wasn't implemented well. Actions use the trigger buttons to be activated, and the face buttons are used to switch between the Elemental Warriors. Also, Deep Blue when underwater has a different control scheme which somewhat convoluted.
 * 2) Some of the warriors may be boring to use.
 * 3) Since the game was rushed for the Xbox 360 launch, the game is unpolished and is too short, lasting as little as 10 hours.
 * 4) All of the boss fights to obtain an Elemental Warrior boil down to snatching a ghost and throwing it at the enemy.
