This is absolutely one of the best games I've played this year in this genre. The atmosphere this game have is amazing. The graphics are beautiful. The way the game played is so natural and easy. The fights with Kong are super, with great power, brute and anymally. To fight as Jack is also great. Basically with a spear and much different fireweapons. The way the makers of this game have put no numbers on the screen for number of ammo or something like that is so cinematic. The sounds and music they use are fantastic. Good in everyway. This game is a wonderful experience!… Expand

I just finished this game and WOW, it has got to be the best PS2 game i have played for a long time. Its definately one of the best games i have ever played. The atmostphere is great and so are the kong fights with T-rex. YOU SIMPLY MUST PLAY THIS GAME.

The atmospher in this game, which is writhed from the minds of Ancel and Jackson, the two killer apps behind this title, is extremly well done. The fact that they can create pure helplessness and fear one moment, and a fit of rage in another, is simply an achievement to be recognized. With that said, Kong is not flawless. The game is riddled with a few mishaps, one of them being with the controls of Kong himself. yes, playing as the king is a strong appeal, but when he plays like hes weighed dow with rocks, and is so sluggish that the gameplay is affected negatively, then we have a problem. The swinging and jungle mechanics are well implimented, but the combat with Kong is broken, to say the least. As for the first person combat and gameplay with jack and his group, we have a game that is awesome. You feel so helpless, yet always feel liek your hanging by a thread, due to the fact that the game is littered with plenty of spears to use. the enemies become a bit repetitive, and making you feel as if you killed this same creature thirty times before and more. The gameplay itself does and will become repetitive. Now, as for washington's review, i find it surprising that he'she found the game so downright appaling that he'she would be able to survive through 4 treacherous hours of gameplay. If the game was that bad, put it down before completion; it wouldnt deserve your time. The game is longer than four hours, take that from me, and with your guaranteed dedication tot he game upon completion, you'll find another few hours to unlocke every secret. Go online on the site yto find some extra goodies as well, for those who want to go that far out of their way for a grea game. But it is hard to find a perfect game, none exist, but a game that is well done, with hardly any gameplay flaws, is a rare commodity. But once found, especially in a movie game, its is an especially delightful treat. Enjoy it while its hot and new, and everyone is discussing what Kogn is up to and where he is to end up.… Expand

A fun game that is way too short. If were about 4 times as long it would be better. Pretty Solid Game Though. Not a FAN OF DYING AFTER 2 HITS THOUGH.

Oh come on.This game sucks.I hate it when you get eaten by the T-rex.Let give yaw a history lesson,frist King Kong is a monkey that will eat you and not love you,second an island this big and is uncharted should have been on a map because of planes in those days,and last but not least I thought that it toke place in 1919,not in 1932. Tell me this,T-Rex was a dino that would eat your remains after you were dead not just kill you then eat you.This game is not right at all.… Expand

Love this game. It's pure entertainment, great fun and very slick. And when a T Rex is chasing you, it's fair to say you'd be wise to check your underpants afterwards. Gripping stuff!

I can't believe some people have rated this so badly - Yes, maybe it lacks the depth of some games or the free roamning scope of others. But I play to be entertained - and this is totally captivating and entertaining in the thrill a second sense of the word. Fantastic sound and graphics - with no unrequired on screen data (ammo, health bar) to distract from the total immersion in the world - want to know how much ammo you have - Jack tells you, such a simple but smart idea - and just one example of several innovations present here that should become standard in all FPS games.… Expand

This is the most innvolving game I have ever played. You start out with a pistol, but you find spears, shotguns, sniper rifles, and fire to defend yourself with. On the screen, there is nothin but you, Jack Drisscol, holding a gun or spear. The food chain system is brilliant. If only the dinosaurs would eat each other. Now, playing as Kong.... the first time its not that great, but the rest is great. Overall, its one of the best games ever.… Expand

one of the best ever ps2 games great pameplay and basically great everything . each character is individual and has something to say about the mission and also you can fight with loads of weapons great game all round

Great Graphics, sound, and lots of nice touches. Walking around and get int he directors camera shot and he complains, walk near (Anne?) and she whispers to you that the others cannot hear. Sound is awesome, atmosphere is tops. Play it on a wide screen with a good stereo.. great experience. Definatly a solid game. Actually it's more a movie walkthrough then a game (not exactly challenging) but what it is, is very entertaining.… Expand

Worst game I've played in years and I owned State of Emergency. I kept waiting for the game to get good.It wasn't anything I haven't seen in other games except for that you could play Kong. By the way you play King Kong for about 10% of the game. I swear rent this game if you must (like I did) you'll hate all 4 hours it'll take to finish it.

This videogame is very good, but very short tough, i mean, i completed it in two days, its way to easy, and, i mean, the best of all, is that is "the movie" itself, it has a geat enviroment and great monsters (creepy spiders, birds, and all kind of things), but very cool. Gotta own this game.

Its not even free roaming. It would be great if you could go where ever. And that section where the damn dino gets lockd in a corner, and you cant move on in the game till you kill it,, that really sucks.

Oh boy! That big ape is back, and he isn't here to monkey around! With over eight hours of swingin' fun, you'll be goin bananas! Sure to be this years best giant gorilla game, or I'm a monkey's uncle!

Movie tie-ins have never been a positive in my books. Although I do admit that before 2010, they were all I played; looking back, most of them were just mediocre rubbish. The only one of these games which I ever went back to playing and actually liked was King Kong, or PJKK:TOGOTM. The game was designed by Michael Ancel, who recently cemented my admiration with Rayman Origins. KK has the usual issues with movie tie-ins: the game is stretched despite being 5-6 hours long, several aspects are unrefined and and Kong segments are arguably weaker than the rest of the game. Throughout the game you control Jack, a screenwriter who is probably one of the only FPS protagonists who actually speaks. The story is bare bones: pretty much the film but with little exposition and less complexity. In many ways, King Kong is a survival horror: you are equipped with only the barest necessity of firearms and/or spears which you chuck at a variety of dinosaurs and giant insects. Pacing is an issue, just like the film, and within 5 minutes of landing on the island, you'll find yourself fighting your first boss monster. The interface is bare-bones too, keeping your attention on the action. What I've said may sound slightly negative: but trust me when I say that King Kong is perhaps the best movie tie-in you'll ever play thanks to its brooding atmosphere and engaging design; just don't expect much in story or complexity.… Expand

It is repetitive for most of the game but it does have a great first-person shooter feel. The gameplay is pretty difficult. It does feel too long in the first-person mode.

I realy liked this game. somehow it was addicting to me. one of the best games i've played that was based on a movie. (although i hated the strange creatures that would jump at you and scare the crap out of you.)
