Imagine, if you will, a frightening alternate universe where, upon the release of the iPod, the only compatible MP3s are back catalog Ace of Base hits. Now, imagine harder, for in this same world, the only releases during the first year of the DVD format are multiple Charles in Charge box sets. Horrified? You should be; this is not a terrifying alternate history straight from the pen of Philip Roth -- if you're a gamer, scenarios like this are commonplace, if not expected.
Kameo: Elements of Power arrived as an Xbox 360 launch title. It didn't reinvent the wheel, but deserves more respect than you might think.
There was a sequel in the works but got canceled because of the Kinect......
I doubt we'll see a follow up.
Wasn't a fan.
I give it another try every few years, but it always falls flat for me.
I remember following this game when it was a N64/GCN game. By the time it came out I didn't even care anymore. It spanned 4 consoles by the time it finally released. It was ridiculous. lol
Nostalgia can often be a fickle thing.

I remember when they showed off some of the original footage when this was being developed for the GameCube... before Rare went to Microsoft and then delayed for development and launch on the 360. You had to catch the beasts, looked great. Enjoyed it very much when it launched.
what do you expect?

This is retarded, Kameo was a great game.. awesome puzzles and great graphics for a launch title.
That whole list I agree with but Kameo is a great game and should not be on this list.
I would of put Perfect Dark Zero on before Kameo anyday. That is the one launch game I wish I never bought.
Great puzzles, great graphics(1000's of enemies on screen at once), varying characters with different powers.
It seems his main beef was that it had too much color?
"explosively awful" ?? Hell no.
shud of gotten 8's or 9's out of 10 surely
