Easily the year's best game, and it might be my new favorite game of all time. The Kong sequences are riveting, the first person controls are amazing, and the graphics made my jaw drop. It's not just an action game, it's got some horror refferences as well. Imagine, if you will, an enormous Tyranosaurus that could eat you with one mere snap, and you have to get its attention so your buddies can open a door to escape. You have to stand clear in its sight for a little bit. If you run one second to early, your friends will be killed and you have no chance of escape. One second to late, and you see the inside view of a dinosaur's jaws. The dinosaurs are also very intelligent when you're in battle with them as Kong. When you're battling 2, they're going to take advantage of that. While you're trying to get one of them's jaws off your neck, the other is going to walk over to Ann, or attack you. While you're about to disconnect one of their jaws, the other will attack you to stop. It's challenging to the extreme and a classic for the ages.… Expand

King Kong is an excellent game that kept me on the edge of the seat all the wayt through, despite it's shortness. Graphics, while looking like an impressive Xbox game aren't quite Xbox360 level. The evitoment and character are still very vivd and varying and the voice action is some of the best i've heard. Defintley not worth buying due to the lack of replay value, but a MUST rental for that weekend you don't have anything to do. Plus I played through once and recieved all 1000 acheivment pionts so it's a great way to get your gamer score up. I defintely suggest you check this one out.… Expand

This is hands down, the best movie based game ever made. The controls and mechanics are easy to learn and to master, the graphics are top-notch and just look really good and the sound is amazing, the gameplay in both parts of the game are solid and fun. However the game itself is not very long and you play as Kong only a handful of times. But in short this is a great game that is really worth playing.… Expand

Its a really great game that gives you a great experience the first time you play it. But once you beat it in 5 hours you gonna think it wasn't worth $60.

I had no intention of buying this game until I saw it in the shops one day for a fraction of the price of a normal 360 game. So was it worth buying ? If I had paid more I would have been disappointed. To me the real value of a game is either the replay value or the multiplayer. This game has neither. Once I had finished it I have not given it a minute of thought of playing it again. In fact if the game was stolen I would not even bother filling out an insurance claim ! Playing the game for the first time is quite good, the graphics is good, the voice acting is excellent the gameplay is enjoyable and it does a good job of following the movie and making you feel part of it. The fact that you switch between playing as Jack and Kong is a nice touch even if Kong is a little difficult to control....oh...and if you like collecting achievement points, you can get the full 1000 for doing nothing more than playing the game from start to finish...easy. My advice...buy it cheap or rent it.… Expand

Some great concepts trapped in a lackluster game. The occasional stand-out moments hardly make up for repetitive gameplay and a narrative that's quite literally on rails. I felt like I was being herded from point a to point b rather than moving through, and the Kong sequences are few and far between, lasting just long enough for me to get excited before it was back to playing Jack. The final level is pretty pointless and anticlimactic in nearly every sense of the word. Worth a rental, but the abbreviated length and linear gameplay pretty much kill off whatever replayability it might have had.… Expand

Fantasic game. Best game based on a movie I've played in years. Sorry though I can't reccoment that you buy this game. It's much too short. Rent it though you'll be glad you did.

The gameplay and graphics are excellent. A must have game for Kong fans. As for a "reviewer" giving this game a score of "0", complete rubbish. You either don't even own an Xbox 360 and want one or you can't comprehend that these are first generation games using approx. 40% of the 360's capabilities. If the PC version does really look better then it's running on a $400 video card. have fun playing PC games and upgrading every six months.… Expand

Great video game. The graphics are incredible. The game play keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This game is an epic adventure. There is no HUD to distract from the cenematic beauty of Peter Jackson's King Kong. Your screen flashes red when your health is in danger and your character cleverly calls out how much ammo he has left. This may be a multi-platform game but it is also the best looking Xbox 360 game. The game is considered short by some but it's one wild ride. Definately one of the best first person adventures on any console. As a bonus you get to play as Kong which only adds to this already thrilling game.… Expand

I was waiting for this game to come out since the movie and i finally got and let me tell you that this game is one of the best games for 360!

I never have liked adeventure games much, but this reallly got my attention and i liked it a lot. The graphics are extremely impressive and the game-play is unlike anything i have ever seen. Very cool game. Very realistic...

Looks OK but not a scratch on the PC version. to be honest i was expecting the XBOX 360 to be the next gen in gameing but it still hasnt managed to beat my 2 year old PC in the graphics department, and where is the killer launch titles, there aint any. i shall be selling my 360 asap to some mug im sure there are a few out there, i was one for buying mine in the first place.

I've never seen such good graphics in my entire life. And the fact that you get to play as man or ape, the gameplay is awesome... it's really the best game of the year, no joke.

Length of the game aside, King Kong is one of the most engaging games that I have ever played. If you want to feel desolate and scared, as if you actually are in the game, than play this game. I bought it about a month ago for about 10 bucks. The HUDless screen really adds to the atmosphere. It is probably one of my favorite games that I have, and I have a good 30 including a few call of duties, all the halos, both assassins creeds, bioshock, and the elder scrolls and none even come close to how much i enjoyed this game. It is a launch title, and it is still better than most of the current titles.… Expand

I remember playing this game on my gamecube awhile back so I got it for Xbox 360 recently! I really like this game! The graphics are decent, the gameplay works well and its fun. It can get pretty intense and stressful even but overall its not a very hard game. The game is short, but nowadays you can find this on amazon for $10. So not a huge expense. The downsides are probably just the chapters in new york city which don't work too well and a few glitchy points. Other than that this game is a winner!… Expand

This game is actually just bad. Played it in '08 and did not understand how it got an 80 metacritic, even for it's time. I bought it to get easy 1000/1000 but I simply couldn't. It was such a terrible experience I haven't put it in my 360 since.
