Kameo Pummelweed

Boogle · 3 Feb 2006 at 10:47

In the Kameo demo, the pummelweed character's attack is basically alternating the two triggers, while simultaneously moving the two analogue sticks. This drove me nuts, and I dread to think of the RSI ramifications.

Is the full game as bad?

Are you kidding me? You are worried about RSI from pulling some triggers? I suggest you never play a racing game ever on a console.

heh I've played quite a few

Maybe I'm just not controlling this character right, but it felt very uncomfortable. Whereas every other game I've played has been fine.

Move left stick, pull left trigger, pull right trigger, repeat over and over

Not as bad as Ridge Racer where the accelerator button is held down 99.9% of the time

My right index finger now resembles a hook!

Xbox360 needs a mario party-esque game. Would be an amazing laugh in home multiplayer or Live! Multiplayer with some folk here.

Lol, I remember some of those track and field games on the ol' Amiga. Waggling the joystick violently left and right to build up strength to raise a weight or run 100m.

Now that was crazy gaming, but we still did it and loved it.

Sorry, gone a bit off topic here.

/me remembers waggle-o-mania

That broke my joystick a bit

I used to love the track&field style games, get 3 mates round, socks on your fingers to aid them sliding over the buttons fast, hope some game of that style coming out on the 360.

Wedding/round ring in a teatowel... that was the trick of the winners. Failing that, celotape worked.

Laminated card bent round knuckle worked a treat for me

Shame there doesn't any party game out for the X360 - the Xbox had Fuzion Frenzy which was good fun I thought, especially Twisted System

Get something like Super Bomberman or Chu-Chu Rocket on the Arcade and it would be awesome

You must be doing it wrong. Mine's down 100% of the time

With Pummel weed you just need to press the triggers, he auto faces enemys. If you are worried about RSI then just sell your 360 now and sit in a dark room until you die.

Kameo is a very good game, I didnt like the demo either but I love the full game.

Used to love the Track and Field games for the PS1, the worst event (on the hands) had to be the 1km bike sprint thing that took a good few minutes of constant button bashing to finish.

As for a party game, Mad Tracks might be decent on Xbox Live when it is released
