The Kameo reviews
have begun to roll out, and the early consensus can't be what Microsoft had hoped for. That's not to say that the game
is getting panned, but with an 80% average (after 4 reviews), Kameo's not gonna be winning any awards. Still,
we're sticking with our gut, that is,
Kameo's got mass appeal—it's gonna be a top-seller this holiday season.
The first four:
-
1UP (70/100) - "Kameo tries very hard to generate an epic feel, with an open overworld that has a full-scale Lord of the Rings style war waging in the background. But aside from a few required objectives that put you into the midst of the battle, the background is mostly noise."
-
IGN (84/100) - "While the game isn't quite the Zelda killer that it's sometimes been touted as its still a fun adventure that will appeal to a broad audience."
-
GameSpot (87/100) - "[Since] the combat is mostly pretty easy, and since the puzzle solutions are always right there (courtesy of your talking hint book), you should be able to blow through Kameo pretty quickly…"
-
Gamespy (80/100) - "Considering that the bulk of the 360's launch lineup consists of sports games, racers, and FPS titles, having another genre represented with a quality title is definitely a good thing."
