This game combines both first person shooter and third person fighting with king kong. You could use a variety of weapons. You could even distract predators and set up a trap. This game also features alot of suspense. PLus it's a hard game for hardcore gamers. The graphics are preety good. The game even features voices from the actors who starred in the movie. Buy this game right now or your an idiot.

Way too frustrating

Boy, Peter Jackson's King Kong keeps proving to be a disappointment. First, there's the movie: about one hour too long and unredeemably boring for a monster ape movie. Now, there's the game.

Maybe it's a fun game, but I played it for an hour and kept dying at the same spot. This was partly due to the handicaps that come with a first person perspective. With no peripheral vision, I often got killed by something just to my right / left that I couldn't see coming in time. Another weak spot was the lack of ammunition. Perhaps that's realistic, but it's annoying to be killed by monsters when I have a gun, but I've burned all the bullets. You can use spears, but they're hardly effective, especially when you fight five or six monsters. Plus, you don't have a health meter, so after two or three hits, you just "die" unless you can get to someplace safe and recover. Very irritating.

Even worse, I didn't get to a single Kong stage before I got too bored and frustrated to play any more. Just like the film, Kong is relegated to a secondary role in his own game.

Maybe if I'd stuck with it a little longer, I would've liked it. But a game shouldn't make you work that hard to like it. It should be entertaining, not annoying. And you shouldn't get stuck on the first level. Especially when you're an experienced gamer.

There's a lot of annoying voice acting, too. It's not the acting itself that's bad, but the sheer repetition of it. Anne must say "Oh my God," at least once a minute.

Highly recommend you skip this and find an old copy of "War of the Monsters" instead.

BETTER THAN THE MOVIE...

..because if the creatures are going to look computery (as they do in the film), at least we get to control them! The environment is beautifully rendered in amazing detail. The misty jungles are fun to explore, independent of the game's action. Take your time! Look around! Scenic vistas abound! There are no compasses, point counters, ammunition guages, etc. cluttering up the screen. This, plus the widescreen format, makes for a much more involving 1st person experience. I hope this starts a trend. The game is a little too easy and a little too short (I never had to retry a level more than a few times). But overall a very fun game.

THE MONSTER IS UNLEASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this gam last week and it blows my mind away. As Jack you have to brave all these vicious dinosaurs with nothing nut a gun with limited ammo and spears that go tenderly into those beast's flesh, I usually blame my team mates like this one time I blamed Carl Denham for leaving me as bait for the T.Rex while he and Haze were opening the gate. As kong this is even better, you get to break the dinosaur's necks as if they are sausages. But it does get a little frustrating at some parts. If you like Monsters,Adventure, and the thrill of action then this is the game for you!!!!

intense

this is an incedible game it is intense and exiting plenty of dinosours, there is a limit on weps but I dont mind.
There is no two player for this game but me and two of my freinds had a sleepover and we switched of, it has plenty of detail, and the voice acting is great, me and my friends screamed a few times when a Giant centapede (excuse my spelling I mean the creepy bug with lots of legs) jumped out of a hole in the wall. this game is creepy sometimes Mostly when playing at night.it realy puts you into the game I was sad when at one point when I thout I was finaly going to make it out of the island, I realy developed feelings for the caracters in the game.

I hope you found this review helpfull

This video game is awsome some of it was Kinda hard it took me a couple of days to beat it but it was worth it.Heres some of the bad things in the game
1 when you cant see as jack you can get killed very easy
2 Hayes is so stupid.
If you get enough points you get to unlock the alternative ending where kong survives and goes back to his home.

VERY, VERY PLEASED !

Impressive movie inspired video game

King kong the video game doesnt follow the movie step by step not at all its a different storyline and a great visual quality make this game look like the movie and for a movie inspired video game its very impressive!

The characters you play are jack and kong they both have different style of gamings despite being in the same game.While playing with jack you will be playing a first-person type of game as you have guns and the game will be harder as the missions are tougher.

Now while playing with kong you will play a more destructive kind of game thats more exiting as you battle with many t-rex at the same time.You can jump tree branchs and climb.The missions with kong arent a big percentage of the game maybe 25% but they are the best missions.You will need to help the girl like in the movie.

COOL THINGS;
-You can use internet cheats to unlock weapons
-The game has two kind of playability,first person shooter with jack,and the destructive(as i call it)mode with king kong
-The graphics are awesome it really looks like in the movie and the enviroments looks like the movie
-There is an alterning ending
-King kong missions are great

NOT COOL THINGS;
-When your in danger of dying the screen flashes red and you cant see wich killed me many times.
-The game is pretty short wich does the game bad,would it have killed to have more kong missions,or more missions.

What i liked is the alternate ending that is longer than the original and that kong survives instead of dying.The extras are cool with prewiews of the movies and the art gallery.

APRECIATION;The game offers something quite individual ,great graphics and a different storyline.The missions with the giant ape are the best part of the game even if they arent half of the game.The game despite being quite good is way too short but if not for that the game would be so much better.

Very recomended

BUY IT FOR THE "FREE MOVIE TICKET!!!"...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this game. I bought this game because King Kong's da man, and he can totally kick the stuffing outta anyone. Anywho, you also get to play as Jack Driscol in 1st person, which is very fun. The puzzles as Jack make you think, and are very intense like a good game should be. The Voice work is incredible, as are the graphics. This is one of the best movie games I've ever played. Also, there's the levels with King Kong, my hero... He can kill every little annoying dinosaur or winged beast that bugged and killed you as Jack. Also, Kong's immense size and power are shown in great detail in this game. If you enjoy fantastic games, buy this one. (and it's got a movie ticket to king kong so it's worth the price!)
