    Thoughts on 360 games so far

    Just thought I'd post mine,pretty much like really mini reviews.

    Amped 3
    8.5/10
    Very fun to play
    Story is awkward
    Great soundtrack
    May not have next gen graphics but the size of the main moutains sure are next gen

    PGR 3
    5/10
    Great graphics
    Great sound
    Much too short single player but fun while it lasts it just doesn't last near long enough
    Online can be summed up in 2 quotes I heard while playing "This isn't burnout damn it!" and "Tokyo? **** that! I can't drive!"

    Quake 4
    0/10
    I can't think of a single redeeming feature of this game.

    Need for Speed Most Wanted (based on demo)
    5/10
    The actual racing is awful but the police chases are really really fun

    Perfect Dark Zero
    9/10
    Fun gunfights
    Great graphics and sound
    Very good controls
    Love the high tech guns and gadgets
    Feels like something is missing
    3rd person view for more than covering and climbing would've been nice
    Hear it doesn't last long

    Call of Duty 2
    8/10
    Technically great
    Stuff can get a bit clutterd
    More serious than fun

    Anyone have their own views or reviews for Kameo? I enjoy playing that game, but never hear anything about it, game gets no love.

        Picked Kameo up last night on a whim because I wanted a 3rd person action/adventure game (everything else is first person). As I was driving home, I had very little expectation. When I got home and began playing, I was floored! I played from 7:00 until 1:00 in the morning last night (longest 360 session I have had yet). The game is just a blast to play and is heavily addicting. I love the fact that you can morph into 10 different creatures each with their own specific capabilities - it really adds a greater immersion factor. The controls are intuitive and terrific (all battle moves are performed with the triggers). I can also say that it is the best looking 360 game I have bar none (I have PDZ, Condemned, Madden, NBA 2k6, and NHL 2k6). The music is absolutely fantastic (an epic musical score). I am itching to get home and play again tonight.

        To sum it up:

        Graphics: 9 (environments and textures are amazing)
        Story: 8 (nothing groundbreaking, but interesting and creative nonetheless)
        Gameplay: 10 (I can't tell you the last time I had this much fun playing an action/adventure game)
        Sound: 9.5 (best music in a game ever)

        Avg. Score - 9.12

        Keep in mind that I am still in the very early honeymoon stages, but this game has sucked me in like no other 360 game. I agree with you - Kameo has gotten no love and it is definitey the most underrated game on the system. I think Gamspot's review sums it up the best (I put little stock in these reviews 95% of the time, but I think they hit the nail on the head regarding Kameo).

          I absolutely loved Kameo. I finished it last week and thought it was great the entire way.

                  I agree on Kameo. I'm not usually into platformer/adventure games, but Kameo is awesome.

                  Best looking 360 game of the games I've played (PGR, Madden, COD, NBA2k - I think they all look nice, but Kameo top them IMO). The parts where there are hundreds of Trolls on screen at the same time really show off the power of the system, and some of the scenery is just amazing. Highly recommend it.

                    I will prob. wait for Greatest Hits. $60 for a platformer seems high.

                        Huh? I think Kameo is a fine game but its not the best looking. The textures are basic and the models and animatopn are suspect in some areas. When I first saw the commercial I actually thought it was some Gamecube game and was surprised to see it was Kameo and for the 360. It looks like you're basic launch title that doesn't do too much but is at least an indication of where the system is going. As for the game itself, it's Microsoft's "Dark Cloud" in that its a pretty good game for its genre but in the end feels like a poor man's Zelda.

                          Like everyone else has said, I think NBA 2k6 is great. I'd give it a 9/10.

                          GUN was an awesome game IMO. If you like Westerns, you will absolutely love this game. Graphics aren't mind-blowing, but the story, gameplay, background music, etc.....made the game awesome.

                          COD - Ehh, I don't know but I don't think this game is as good as everyone says. Graphics are awesome, but the gameplay isn't anything special.

                            Thomas Jane is the best voice in video games, IMO. His Punisher voice acting was great, and Gun was just as impressive.

                              The Kameo demo is still up in the market place if you want to try it. I didn't like it but it's not really my kind of game,just tryed the demo cause it was free.
