the One and Only Kameo Thread
 

Instead of continuing an off topic discussion in the "first impressions" thread I thought this might be better.

I finished it yesterday. Damn Thorn was a bitch to defeat. Took about an hour and a half. Finished with somewhere around 70 fruit. Only found 3 of the crystal balls and a couple "skins" for my elementals.

Has anyone tried score attack? OMG. I have to be doing something wrong. I played the first level 5 times, got 4 F's and an E. What am I doing wrong? An A seems damn near impossible.

Anyone tried Co-op yet? I want to try and max out my gamertag score from all the achievements, just wondering if it is worth it.

Try fighting him using nothing but 40 Below's wrecking ball. He's a cinch if you do that -- you constantly hack away at him while taking little-to-no damage yourself, and even if you do get hit, you'll pick up all the health from the fallen badniks Kalus summons. Doing that, Thorn is the easiest (well, maybe 2nd easiest, behind the giant tree) boss in the game.

Wow. That never crossed my mind. For a while, the first two to three rounds I used chilla's ice launcher while taking minimal damage. It was when thorn started hopping and running around that gave me issues.

I ended up using Snare and his uproot ability. That worked well. Hit it right and each blast gets in 3-4 hits. Used that throughout the whole battle and won it that way.

I used Thermite and just kept using the mortor and when he was stunned, I used Chilla's spear on Kallus. I took no damage at all.

Thorn's a she, isn't she?

No, Thorn is the troll king. I think you're thinking of Kalus.

FYI, gamefly has Kameo for $29.99 with free shipping right now. Damn sweet deal for such a killer game.

I have this sitting sealed in my entertainment unit ready to play. I cannot wait to pop it in, but I might actually wait for a bit and bust my HDTV cherry with this title.

That is a pretty good price, but I am afraid that I would not play it, after Elder Scrolls comes out next week.

I saw that price too. If I didn't have so much to do on PD0, Condemned and FNR3 I would snatch it up.

I actually really started to like this game, but I got annoyed with it. I'm more than half way through....eventually I might finish it, but no time soon with my other games in rotation now.

Quick question.. How does the ranking work? Like when you complete a level you get an A-F..??

Sorta. You have to go into the score attack mode. It's all about getting the high score. You are rated A-G(I think). They seem impossible at first, but each level has it's own quirks and it is a must to find the right elemental to use. Figuring out the Doom Trolls is ESSENTIAL to getting an A ranking. It is impossible to do without them.

I just finished the score attack recently. I had no luck until I used this guide:

http://forums.xbox.com/2434353/ShowPost.aspx

Where can I get a good walkthrough/guide for this game, and for that matter, all 360 games? Someone suggested a great site to me before that had a bunch of free ones, but now I can't remember what it was. The ones that I found doing searches all cost money.

The one that I found before was *.pdf file I believe.

Can anyone help?

www.gamefaqs.com has all systems, faqs, walkthroughs, cheats...and a really immature message board :)

WTH?? I just played Thorn's Castle and got over 16,000,000 points and got a flippin "D"? What's up with that?? I thought you only needed 15,000,000 to get an "A"?

Are you sure you aren't looking at your grand total? I did that at first.

I am close to finishing all the new achievements. Snagged a handful of them over the weekend.

I also think you need the crystals.

This picture obviously isn't mine but an example.. I got that number from my "Total Score".. Which number needs to be 15Mill +??

http://tdsconsulting.net/screencap3.png

Nah. You don't need the crystals. You can't even access them on Thorn's Castle.

Okay, here's a stupid question. I'm playing this with my daughter, and for the life of me, I haven't been able to figure out how to save our games. We go through the Thorn's Castle level, and after we beat the boss in that level, the game defaults back to the beginning?!

I've selected my hard drive at the beginning of the game, and I've saved a name for our quest/adventure. What am I dong wrong?

Wow, I feel like an idiot.

I THINK (haven't had this since January, so not 100% sure) that you just go level by level through co-op, and unlock the levels for co-op by beating them on single player.

Yeah, that's it. I guess I could've actually read the booklet closely. Thanks.

But what if I don't want to play it single-player? :) I mean, I have Dead Rising waiting in the wings for my single-player time.

I finished this game in the past couple weeks, great game. Lots of variety, and didn't feel like a collectathon like many of Rare's previous platformer type games. The huge battle scenes were great, I spent a lot of extra time just blowing through hundreds of trolls on the horse.

I must say that I enjoyed the UNO Kameo deck more than the game itself

I noticed this is at $29.99 now (Platinum Hits). Is it worth picking up at that price? I'm kind of on the fence about it - I've never played many platformers before, but something about this looked like it could be good.

Edit: Ignore the question. I just noticed this was discussed quite awhile ago in the thread, and that apparently it's been at this price for months now.

I've been watching my GF play this game and I have to say it looks awesome.
I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like it. GFX are really cool and seems really fun.

ONLY TOOK ME 6+ YEARS! :)

Since getting my [first] XBOX360 [GEARS3] system in September, all I've played was GEARS 3. But I decided to start playing other games in the new year... so instead of picking which one to play outta the 100+ my nephew has, I decided to play them in release date order and Kameo was first on my list out of the launch games [of course].

Anyway not bad of a game at all + it looks real good. The game was kinda frustrating with dying so many times over and over, damn platform games! Ended up with 650/1000 gs and 100% completion [100 fruits, 12 elixirs, 4 eyes and all 10 skins] and it took me 20H59M.

Might try Expert & Time attack another time... maybe not. How hard was it?

Was there ever any talk of a KAMEO 2?




[on to game #3 Condemned. #2 was Amped 3 but not interested in it.]

Re: the One and Only Kameo Thread
 

Whoa, Kameo bump!

Re: the One and Only Kameo Thread
 

Be sure and bump Condemned. It's be fun reading that one again.

Re: the One and Only Kameo Thread
 

Kameo was pretty fun but you mentioned playing Condemned. That was the probably the best early 360 games. It inspired 2 of my favorite video game memories. I wish the sequel had turned out to be half as entertaining.

Re: the One and Only Kameo Thread
 

I agree...still one of my favorite xbox games...and

Re: the One and Only Kameo Thread
 

I've always wanted to play Kameo, specially because there aren't a lot of platform games for the Xbox 360.

Re: the One and Only Kameo Thread
 

Since it's been brought up, it really reminds me of a more advanced version of Skylanders, without the figs, of course.

Re: the One and Only Kameo Thread
 

That is the one game for 360 I wish I never sold :(

I'm going to have to grab that one again and replay it. Wonder if it still holds up 6 years later.
