Rare are back to their best, 17 Dec 2005

You play the game as Kameo, an Elf who is in possesion of Transformation magic, which allows the user to transform into several different elemental warriors. Your mission is to find all of the many elemental warriors and use them to free your family from the Troll King "Thorn" and your traitorus sister "Kalus". What follows is a good 15+ hours journey through the world, there is so much to do, you will have to play through it more then once to see it all.

The graphics are excellent, the trolls could have looked a little bit more intimidating, but other then that,you can't complain, their is one area in the throne room, where the game truley does use the most out of the consoles power. The controls are simple enough, with your attack buttons being on the sholuder buttons, while the A-D butons control the character you want to play as.

The game is filled with puzzles, and while they are not too chalenging, they are very clever in the solution. The game also has a scoring system, where in each temple, when you hit a certain score (from defeating enemies effectivley) you will unlock features like cheats and alternate costumes, it is enough to keep you busy for a very long time.

The elemental warriors are all very imaginative ranging from a plant who boxes, to an ant with a volcanic cannon on his back, to a yeti, and they are all needed to go through the game. Some people have complained that the game looks kiddy, that is a fools remark,the game is brilliant for all ages and i wouldreccomend it.
