Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Acclaimed game creator Michel Ancel and the Montpellier studio collaborate with triple Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson and visual-effects company Weta Ltd. to develop Peter Jackson's King Kong, a video game that will capture the imagination, vision, and emotion of the epic film.

Delve deeper into the film experience through alternative viewpoints designed to immerse the player into the action and truly "feel" the tension of the adventure.

Features:

• Unprecedented alternating gameplay: battle for survival on Skull Island in first-person as Jack Driscoll and experience the staggering power of King Kong in third-person taking on massive beasts.
• Cinematic quality: by integrating Weta assets directly into the game engine, and taking a true cinematic approach, from both a visual and audio perspective, players are thrust directly onto the Skull Island where the dark jungles, over-sized environment, and lurking danger become reality.
• Cooperate with your expedition team: Each team member plays a crucial role and complements each other with valuable skills and abilities. The player relies on them and vice-versa to succeed. The unique resource management system keeps the action seamless and plausible while keeping items, weapons, and assets readily available.
• The Power of King Kong: King Kong is one of the most powerful of all the creatures on Skull Island and players will learn first-hand what it means to be feared, respected, and dominant. Kong will use both his agility and his raw, brute strength by any means necessary to battle enemies and navigate though the perils of Skull Island.
• Experience all key movie moments and more: journey through the explosive action of all the key movie moments, as Jack and Kong, and even explore the beautifully rendered mysterious jungle environments not seen in the film.
• Engage in climactic battles: intense and unbelievable battles with all creatures featured in the film challenge players’ nerves and skills in fighting the savage beasts created by Weta--some of which are exclusive to the game.
• Film cast likeness and voice: full immersion into the dynamic King Kong universe realized via inclusion of film cast member’s likenesses and voice-over.

Product Description

Live the epic action of Peter Jackson's movie King Kong. Play as Jack or Kong in unique, dual-style gameplay. Play in first-person Survival mode as Jack Driscoll: shoot, evade, fight using Skull Island's hostile environment to your advantage. Launch your destructive power as the iconic ape-monster Kong in third person, from the savage perils of Skull Island to the skyscrapers of New York.

I'm a big "King Kong" buff so of course I had to get this game. It is a fun game to play and isn't very difficult to play. I think most people would like this game if they're into video games.

This review is from: Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World (Video Game)

first thing i have to say is this game is not the pc version or xbox so on.this is a new game whith an rpg like tone.this game combines elements of rpgs and survival horror games such as resident evil. such as combining items.and shooting aimlessly
.the game also feature an up above view and three characters
that have there part.jack black heals and jack shoots and combines items while the girls heals.withch all makes a very strategic experience.so bassicly as people
1.shoot
2.solve puzzles ex: find rope and wood to make raft
the people part of the game is done well but nothing new

but the diiffrence between this and other games is the kong break
simplicity can sometime sgive a game a whole lot more replay value withch is were kong comes in smash,hit pull, and a miracle to gba kong lovers.every so often you get to play as kong witch is a great repeptitive break
it makes this game a little more plesurable and is done well.
