    The production values are amazing with top-notch graphics and sound found nearly everywhere. Though the game runs a little short – we played a little over six hours – you’ll have a blast every step of the way.

    Minus the camera issues with Kong, whose gameplay is more of a “tension-breaker” than a titular role, Peter Jackson’s King Kong on the current-gen consoles is definitely a must play!

    Yep, King Kong is one very slick package and certainly the best movie tie-in game since The "Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay." If only they'd thought to slap a wig and roller-skates on the big monkey fella, we could've been looking at a classic. [PC Zone]

    Full of novel ideas and ultimately is a magnificent action title. Unlike most formulaic games based on movies, what you experience here is always fresh and exciting.

    Exciting, suspenseful gameplay is an innovative twist on survival-horror. [Feb 2006, p.38]

    Sure it looks good and sounds great, but not ‘the next generation of gaming’, in fact given the current availability and quality of FPS games I’m not sure in terms of gameplay it’s even this generation.
  7. Computer Games Magazine
    50
    A series of fantastic moments dragged down by a lot of incredibly dull, repetitive, and contrived ones. [Feb 2006, p.68]

The graphics are beautiful, A very original experience which was refreshing in this age of WWII and other common themes of FPS especially. The graphics are beautiful, the creatures imaginative, the action heart pounding and the variety is engaging. There was a lot of opportunity to play Kong sprinkled through the game so I'm not sure what others are saying. It was linear, but it did what it was intended to do. It wasn't supposed to be a game where the environment was wide open. It is a game where you are placed on a path leading to successive missions/situations/confrontations which lead to an end. During that time, the experience is very fun while you fight giant millipedes, dinosaurs and other savage creatures which act and look simply amazing. It also balanced nicely with opportunities to fight as Kong. This game is much like a great roller coaster. It stays on the track while giving you a crazy ride.… Expand

    Достойное приключение по острову Черепа на 4 часа.

    Из минусов: - странный импакт от вооружения, к примеру копья и кости наносят больше    Достойное приключение по острову Черепа на 4 часа.

    Из минусов:
    - странный импакт от вооружения, к примеру копья и кости наносят больше урона чем снайперская винтовка.
    - ублюдские полосы сверху и снизу, которые мешают геймплею и мылят глаза (можно убрать фиксами с интернетов).
    - возможные тех.баги: неуправляемость игры при высоких FPS, вылеты, резкое понижение звука, бесконечная тряска экрана в отдельных эпизодах, визуальные баги, несрабатывание скриптов.

    Из плюсов:
    - почти каждый эпизод задает уникальные ситуации, которые не дают заскучать.
    - расширенная фауна по сравнению с фильмом, животные охотятся друг на друга, что добавляет атмосферности диким джунглям.
    - относительно реалистичный геймплей в плане вооружения, можно обмениваться с напарниками оружием и при этом не иметь бездонного арсенала в кармане.
    - адекватные напарники, которые вносят импакт в мобов и неоднократно могут спасти жизнь ГГ во время перезарядки и тд (пару раз за игру могут застрять в текстурах, импакт за импакт, помоги братишкам и передвинь их на другой пиксель).
    - прикольный геймплей за Конга, который освежает игру в отрыве от Джека.
    - относительно неплохая графика даже для 2022 спустя 17 лет, кровь из глаз не идет.

    Она очень старая. Сейчас в это больно играть без розовых очков ностальгии. Уверен, картинка в своё время была прорывная.Она очень старая. Сейчас в это больно играть без розовых очков ностальгии. Уверен, картинка в своё время была прорывная.
