Peter Jackson's King Kong (PlayStation 2, 2005)

I like playing the game because you can be either a human or play as King Kong. The V-rexs' are easy to defeat with King Kong.
The only thing I don't like about it is it's hard to run away from the V-rex when you are a human.
The graphics are really good. And I like the guns.

Review by my 13 year old son it was purchased for.

I like this game because I loved watching the movie. I think it is very realistic, and I like any kind of games that have action and adventure like this one.

It gives the player a very in-depth game, I would buy the second if they made it. It was amazing after I won the game, it was like every thing up to this point was a survival. It is an Amazing game and I Highly recommend it. 5 Stars. 10 out of 10.

I bought this game for my 14 year old son, and he loves it. But it is a little challenging and kind of hard to get past certain levels. Which in one way it makes it good, so it lasts longer, but in another way, not, because sometimes you can't get past certain levels and they lose interest in it. The graphics are awesome and it does seem to come to life. So I would recommend buying it, well worth it.

It is a little challenging. But the kids don't seem to mind and actually get further than I can.
If you love the movie, the game is a must have !

This game was awesome, I liked the fact that you play as both Kong and Adrien Brody's character. Wonderful graphics, but wouldn't expect anything less from a Peter Jackson production. Buy it!

I live in Italy, but I purchased a copy of PeterJackson's King Kong in NTSC system, 'cause my PS2 works with that. And I used it only to play EA games wich are not sold in Italy (Ncaa football 2006)...my son was going mad about that game (King Kong) and I decided to buy him a copy in english, to improve his skills with the language. I get through e-bay and found what I was looking for: an NTSC version of the game at a super-discount price! I bougth it, payed via Pay-Pal and receive it in a week!!!
A super fast shipment, a great deal, a great e-bayer the guy who sold me the game!!! I'm happy and satisfied and my son is, too. Tha game is in excellent conditions, it came in his original package and my son loves it: great graphics, great scenery, realistic moves...a little bit violent, but it doesn't worry me: on tv-news we see a lot of worse things and, after all, THIS is just a game!!! I play it now...and find it great, even if my son is, by far, more skilled than me! Moreover, it has a lot of situations, scenery, levels and bonuses, that you can play for hours without annoying. I liked the movie, I like the game.

I bought the game about a month ago for my son and he really likes it. The graphics are really excellent. It does have a little violence but, not to bad. I'm really glad I bought the game at a great price, I got my moneys worth.thanks

I dont usually play with the play station, but I tried King Kong..I was hooked!!! This game will captivate you in minutes. I couldnt put the control stick down. visuals were great, sound was great, Get ready for a great time!!! LOVE IT!!!

I LOVE THIS GAME..PLAY AS MAN OR KONG.WHICH WILL YOU PICK.WELL YOU GOTTA PlAY TO FIND OUT HOW GOOD THIS GAME REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY IS.

This game entertaines for hours. If you like playing King King, then do so. If you like playing Man, do so. You play the way you like! Enjoy!!!

This game sucked. This game was really really really bad. Oh my God this game sucked. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I bought it for my son. He enjoyed it, but not a game he
comes back to as often as the Jax series.

I bought this game for my son who is only 5. He loves King Kong but it is a little too hard for him to play. I know it is rated for older kids. Overal it looks like a fun game. We just need a little practice.

This game is a mix of FPS and adventure type third-person hack and slash to make for a solid game. Although the game is short, it has a unique re-play feature and some levels will be fun over and over again
Despite the game coming out prior to the movie I found that the movie was not spoiled. Besides most people have read the book, or watched an earlier version of movies and that never ruins the movie experience.
Anyway, the story is centered on the actress Ann Darrow, the filmmaker Carl Denham, and the screenwriter Jack Driscoll. Desperately Carl tries to save his film from being cancelled by a movie studio. Enter his hair brained plan, travel by ship (quite a beauty) to Skull Island. With a name like that you can get the drift.
You begin playing through the eyes of Jack. Take time to look around and don’t rush through the game so you can explore each environment. They are done quite well and the sound (music and effects) are just right to set the mood. Although there is no permanent gauge that displays the character’s health, ammo, map, and other key statistics I found this approach allowed me to immerse myself in the environment. The game will alert you on screen if you’re low on health. Jack will tell you when to reload ammo.
Ahh the combat. Weapons and ammo are abundant (sometimes just spears or bones) and in realistic locations further adding to the realism. You have a limited supply of ammo (except for bones), but with a little planning you’ll be able to pick em off one at a time. You will be battling small to large winged demon bats, various insects, scorpions, dinosaurs and centipedes. The enemy may group up and attack you with or without awaiting turns (the freakin’ leaches!). Further enhancing the realism is the fact that some enemies cannot be killed. Ergo, run you idiot! All in all I found the combat portion satisfying yet not super sized (no hand cramps induced here).
The puzzles (find objects, clear a path) are nothing you will have to speed up your synapses for; however, they make for yet another plus in the game.
One thing I did not expect was that in the game KING KONG I would be playing KING KONG more often. While only being 1/5 of the gameplay this is one of the best parts of the game. This part is in third person, allowing you to open a can of Kong on the enemies. Kong uses brute force, so all you martial arts gurus might be disappointed, jump, beat, and repeat until dead. Of course you’ll be holding Ann, so put her down so she can help you inflict damage with spears.
I found the visuals to be quite impressive. As an RPG and shooter fan I loved the detail each level had, the amount of background and supporting visuals contributed to the feeling that you were on the island. I was a bit disappointed with NY though, I have been there and it is A LOT bigger. Overall the graphics were one of this game’s strong points.
I found that the sound effects and the music was rich. Crank up your surround sound and be sure to have a sub-woofer on. When King Kong beats his chest you feel it. The voices are done by Jack Black, Naomi Watts, and Adrien Brody.
Overall King Kong is a solid weekend adventure/FPS game that is the product of developers working within a film, not restricted by it. The game combines different gameplay styles, an exciting story (who can resist a maiden in distress), rich visuals, beautiful audio and tense combat. All of this immerses you in the game feet fir

My nephew loves King Kong and it seemed like a great gift for him. The item got here very quickly and the game is in good condition.

I DO YOU LIKE BUYING WITH YOU, SO ONLY TO GO THE ITEMS IN ENVOLVES MORE ADECUADES, PLIS ...BUT I LIKE , THANKS .GRACIAS.

The game is actually a good game, had never played it before and decided to try it out and it turned out pretty good

this was fun game its worth a look at the only time i got stuck was when i was kong an had to fight the snakes but its a cool game

I initially played this game on a rental, right after the movie came out. Back then, I only had a nights' worth to play it, so I didn't get very far! I LOVED the movie...and feel the same about the game. The game makes you feel like you are a part of the film - acting it out! The graphics are pretty good, however, it's a little hard to get used to "looking around" with the controller. I would recommend playing/buying this game...especially if you enjoyed the movie!

Another gift for my son for having good grades in school. Clear images and excellent sounds, quality item. Item is still in good shape up to now.

my son can't wait to play this one. now comes the hard part easter or his birthday both of which are in april. :)

Ordered this game with high anticipation, and a day in a half later after winning, it was in my mailbox. Excellent service provided.

I bought it because my family loved the movie and my son is totally into ps2. he is challenged by this game and it really opens his imagination, something so many games don't, he draws and vocalized ideas for new games and options. and it makes him ask a million questions.
