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!)

AAAAAH! coooool.... uh-oh, AAAAAH!

The title fairly describes my emotions as i progress through this game. (i haven't finished it yet). I'll be trotting along, following Carl Denham (the obsessive jerk guy) when suddenly there's this weird noise and POW! Some Megapede or Venatosaurus comes out of nowhere with friends, and when I have (finally) killed them, my gun runs out of bullets. This game is a great mix of survival, thriller, action-adventure and FPS. Really realistic too--- I have to hold down a button just to take out my gun! So far I haven't played as Kong, but i did in a demo i had. FEEL the RAW POWER!!! I mean, what other game (besides, perhaps, "Donkey Kong") lets you play as a huuuuuuggggge GORILLA! Monkeys are awesome. ;-) Peace out and shoot those Megapedes!

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (but the graphics suck)

When I saw the movie I wanted to get a game of the movie.(I absoluteley loved the movie) Though after I got stuck on an early level it got boring until I got a walkthrough of the level (Megapedes) but then I got my friend to come over who is the absolute King Kong Game Master!!!!!!!!!!!! He beat the game three times during spring break!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Together we got past all of the levels after that and then I beat the game!!!!!!!!!!! Though it was strange that you have to die at the end to beat all of the levels and that in the movie (and real life) there is only a small antenna on top of the empire state building while in the game, the small antenna was replaced with a big spire that you hold on to. The other bad thing is the graphics! they completely suck!!!! I thought that Ann was supposed to be beautiful and Jimmy was supposed to be a young looking boy while in the game Ann and Jimmy look like zombies!! King Kong also has something cause he looks kinda constipated!! The biplanes also seemed like they had 100 guns on them(the bullets also came out of the proppeller) But in real life, biplanes only had one or two guns fired from the man in the backseat of the plane but overall it was a great game!!!!

King Kong is one of the best games I have ever played. There are several reviews that say it is hard to follow and it is easy to get lost. There is only one possible path that you can take in every level. I find that when you are separated from your party, go to the start of the level!
The gameplay is great and the graphics are pretty good. Ubisoft gives you the feeling that you are stranded on a dinosaur infested island. Several times when you are on your own, you hear a raptor snarl from the bushes on your left. Or the right? The sound in this game really adds to the game overall.
Later in the game, you are able to play as Kong. This is where I have a few problems. The graphics begin to fall apart if the camera happens to get close to a native's face. And you do not get to play as Kong as much as I would have liked. Overall this game is fun the first time and has great replay value. Once replayed correctly, you can save Kong!

Good, Just to short

I personally enjoyed a lot this game. I especially liked fighting the V-Rexes as Kong. I liked the many creatures and environments that were portrayed. My only complaint its that it is either to easy or to short. I was able to finish the whole game in a week although I need to unlock a few extras with an online code that I do not know. Enjoyed this game and hope somebody who knows those codes to reply back.

bad graphics

Everyone makes a big deal about graphics in video games these days. Why do the ones in King Kong stink so much? Granted, I've seen worse, but this game could totally pass for a PS1 game. The action parts offer a nice amount of excitement, though.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
