Kameo: Elements of Power Preview
Content missing: publication date
The story of Kameo is kinda weird, so I won’t go into too much detail. Basically, a fairy princess’s (Kameo) objective is to rescue the six elemental ancestors from an evil troll, Thorn. Her objective is to also capture young creatures and raise them into monsters, much like Pokemon and Pikmin.
Many people are choosing the easy way out of making a complex button system for the Gamecube, as is evident in Rare’s current button scheme. The control stick controls Kameo during all times, the B, X, and Y buttons select different monsters, the A button is the action button, the Z button toggles monsters in and out, and the C stick is the camera’s control. I really hope this game has some maturity in it. I don’t look forward to collecting cute little monsters that buzz and chirp, that’s too Pokemon for me.
The graphics are, of course, exceptional, since there is no fog anywhere, and the frame rate is constant. Other than that, I can so no more except to offer you updates on this promising title.There is no word yet on when Kameo plans to make a debut. Hopefully we can see it come around sometime before Christmas.
