How does it feel? I'm on the fence between KAmeo/Cod2
I've got Kameo, PDO, CoD2, and PGR3.
So far I'm liking PGR3 the best, although they've made some changes to the series that I don't like. The graphics are good but not as amazing as people make them out to be, the AI is a little smarter than PGR2, but not a lot smarter. The physics feel the same as PGR2's.
I don't really care for the car class seperation, and the number of loads it goes through is just plain silly. Why should I sit through 10 seconds of loading just to restard a 20 second long speed trap challenge? Also the menus could have used some better planning. It's sometimes hard to tell precisely which screen you are looking at.
I'm not as impressed with it as I was PGR2, but it's a good solid racer and the on-track racing is still some of the best arcade racing you can find.

I bought Call of Duty 2 and PGR 3. I downloaded through LIVE the Kameo demo that you can play on the kiosk machines. COD2 is awesome! A really fantastic game if you like FPS type games. PGR3 is very nice looking......I popped in Forza, d/l'ed the update needed for that backwards compatibility and played it first.....(looks better on the X360 than the Xbox) and then played PGR3. PGR3 was definitely better looking (of course) and the inside/cockpit view is fantastic.
Right now...I'm having the most fun playing COD2

Hands down best game: Geometry Wars.#1gamer said:
PGR3 is phenomenal--I have never played a racer with this sense of speed before. It's probably enhanced by the cockpit view that is second to none. Oh, and the audio: the engine sounds in PGR3 blow me away. Seriously, if you like racers, this is a must own.
PDZ: still on the fence. Unlike a lot of impressions, I found the training level extrememly tedious (shooting robot spiders is just meh). I'm hoping as it goes along I enjoy it more. What little I played felt really solid and I love the game mechanics. The attention to detail is excellent, especially with regards to dialog and NPC interaction.
Kameo: Played about 10 minutes and was disappointingly bored. What a terrible first level. I've heard it gets better so I've got my fingers crossed.
COD2 seemed really good. I played it for about a half hour and really enjoyed it. Smooth, crisp and clear, kinda like a good beer. Mmmm, beer.
So far, Kameo's been the only disappointment--but that's with only 10 minutes of playtime. I tend to expect a game to draw me in immediately though. But I'll get back to it in a day or two.

Kameo seems to be the one getting the most mixed reviews, for example Eurogamer.net gave it only 5 from 10.

I have PGR3 and Kameo.
Kameo is decent. It's not great and it's not terrible. The graphics are very pretty for the most part. It's a good way to show off what the 360 can do for fantasy-type environments. As far as the gameplay goes it's just ok. All the different spirits are a lot of fun to use. Each one has its own unique ways of killing the hordes of trolls you encounter. For example, one can set them on fire, one can use trolls as a club, one has a body made of rocks that he launches at enemies, etc. The game isn't very exciting at all, though. You are always told exactly where to go and how to solve each puzzle. I'm about 5 hours in and I haven't even come close to dying yet. It feels like I'm just going through the motions. Nothing truly exciting has happened yet. It's a good demo of what the 360 is capable of, but it's not a terribly exciting game.
I've only played a little bit of PGR3. The graphics are almost photo-realistic and it's a blast to play online. The only thing I'm disappointed with so far is the framerate. 30 FPS (or whatever it runs at) just isn't enough for a racing game.

Kameo is awesome, this is a great game on every level IMO. I turned off the hints, that helps, the GFX are stunning in HD, freakin stunning.
Haven't played much cod2, nhl2k6 is kick ass, pickin up PD0 in a few days. But so far, Kameo hands down, excellent game.

I am really enjoying it. It has a bit of a kidsy feel to it, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I am not sure how I would describe it, maybe... like a mario meets warcraft quality. Who can't enjoy clubbing things with a troll? It feels really simple but there is a lot of variety in the way you can tackle things.
I have played cod2 at the kiosks and will no doubt pick it up in the future, it certainly doesn't look to me as a bad choice either. Kameo seems to not be for everyone, but Cod2 looks like a no brainer if you enjoy fps.

If you like wicked graphics, wide variety of upgradeable moves and character, lots of puzzles and sidequests the Kameo is for you.
This game really has a Zelda feel, even Kameo's little kick sounds like Link yelling.
I would characterize it as very Zelda like, with much more focus on fighting and using the special abilities of the characters in fun ways.
People complain about the controls, but after 5 minutes of picking it up it was a snap, just have to get used to not using the face buttons.

For those on the fence about picking up Kameo just do what I did...download the demo from Xbox Live You can wait before spending the money to decide on it by playing the demo. It's about 512 meg download and it'll definitely give you a feel of the game on your home setup.
It looks great...stunning....but I'm still not sure if it'll be one I buy.

I think is miles ahead of pgr2, menus can be confussing at first though. The driving and handling is better imo.
also adding to the 30fps issue... PGR2 was 30fps, PGR3 is 30 fps, but PGR3 the sense of speed you get is amazing, specially in the dashboard view..

The only game that really interested me wsa COD2 siunce I didn't play it on PC, I bought PD0 as well.
Well COD2 is great excellent graphics super cool particle effects but basically a PC game with all the settings cranked at 720p. PD0 actually has some nect gen stuff very nice texture work, bump mapping advanced lighting ect but it's come an go.
