Kameo Power Pack coming soon News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

7 August, 2006

Rare has announced details of its upcoming "Power Pack" update for Kameo, which adds export and time attack modes, a new competitive two-player game, 15 new achievements and worldwide leaderboards.

Expert mode will include six re-jigged versions of existing levels made rather more difficult by the inclusion of bigger battles with enemies decked out in new armour. Playable alone and with a co-op partner, the levels will call on all ten of your Elemental Warriors' abilities.

Time Attack, meanwhile, is available for split-screen, System Link or Live co-op play and is all about pummel(weed)ing levels as quickly as possible. Finally, Rune Battle mode is a co-op game which pits you against your partner, the idea being to collect the most runes while making use of new weapons to stifle your opponent.

There's no word on when the Power Pack will be released, or whether it'll be a premium download, but Rare advises you to keep an eye on the game's official website for details.

A few typos here. Damn you Mondays, if it only was Friday afternoon *sigh*. Ah well, Rare imo should focus on a new (new) Conker rather than on Kameo downloads.

Is Kameo cheap anywhere yet? I don't want to pay £30+ for it.

is it free?

Certainly, this could lend a whole new lease of life to Kameo.

Still gotta love the Northern Plant People!

They should have made the fish people have french rather than florida accents. Would have been more amusing/less grating.

Most places are selling it for £25 now, which is a decent price, because even though Kameo's a little short, it's still a pretty good game.

Nice that Rare are still adding content to Kameo, which still remains one of my favourite 360 launch games, but how much will it cost? 500 points or less is just about fine by me but any more and I'd feel ripped off buying it as there's nothing really new there, it's just... well... remixed!

Kameo actually is my co-favourite Xbox 360 launch game along with Call of Duty 2. After completing I traded it in, safe in the knowledge I could re-buy it at a vastly reduced price months later when I had the urge to play again.

Good news. especially the added achievements although I am still struggling to get those A rankings on Live Co-Op. in fact, there are hardly people around playing the game anymore which makes it even harder!!!

Kameo: Elements of Power is a great Xbox 360 game, but Microsoft didn't give it as much hype as it deserved. This update sounds very nice, and I will probably buy it, if it isn't too expensive. But, what about people who don't know about this update, and what about the people who don't have Internet subscriptions. How are they supposed to enjoy this part of Kameo: Elements of Power? I think it might not be a bad idea to release an updated version of the game at the retail level or something...if that is possible.

I should really get around to playing this, seeing as I had it at launch.

Deleted, mainly as the post got cut after 4 words, and I can't be bothered to type it again.

Hm.

Seems Rare really doesn't understand the nature of their own creation. Nobody played Kameo for challenge, as a skill game. The attraction of the game was that it was easy, colourful and quickly dealt with.

Why do they insist that there still is value to be found in its simplistic, uninteresting battle system, by introducing stuff like competitive multiplayer?

I liked the game, but the only thing I'd like more of is actual single player content. Everything else is absurd as long as they don't rework the battlesystem from the ground up, into something that is actually precise and skill-based.
