*The blurb below describes the game that was canned for Xbox and GameCube but eventually arrived on Xbox 360.

Kameo is a magical, epic adventure full of magnificent exploration and intense combat.

In true Rare Ltd. fashion, the world is wondrous and immense to explore, the puzzles and challenges are brilliant, and the monster-oriented combat and exploration is innovative and unique.

Key Features:

• Innovative monster-based combat system. Kameo has the unique ability to morph in real time into a wide variety of incredible monsters, each with its own strengths and fighting style. To fight the hordes of evil, players will strategically employ 18 elemental monsters from each of the Six Elements of Power: Plant, Water, Rock, Ice, Wind and Fire. They can choose a plant that boxes for up-close combat, a rock monster to launch a silo of rocks, or a wind monster that specializes in ground-to-air attacks. Fast-paced action, epic-style battles and massive boss encounters will require players to think and act quickly using their boundless monster repertoire.



• Monsters: essential to exploration. Monsters are not only key for combat, they are vital tools to expand players' journey. Each monster offers unique abilities that enable players to open up and safely explore new areas. Intelligent use of monsters is critical to solving puzzles and avoiding obstructions, traps and enemies. For example, players can travel underground as a plant monster or light up dark areas using a fire-based monster.



• Building an arsenal of monsters. Kameo's powers grow through hunting and capturing a massive collection of monsters, but this is no easy task. Players join forces with sidekick Meepo and use stealth, quickness and puzzle-solving to capture these sneaky little creatures. They grow their monsters and expand their monster arsenal as they increase their ability to explore the world and defeat enemies and challenges.
