Anyone's with me?

This game is actually a really good licensed game. The fps elements were solid and the atmosphere felt like I was in the movie, with parts of it even being better than the movie. Having to fight the dinosaurs was some tense shit (the t-rexes made me shit my pants). Plus you had some okay platforming when playing as Kong.


I just got off from watching the movie again and it just sparked my interest in playing it again. Now if only Sony would put it up on PSN.

You only made this thread so you can say Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie #NameYourJunkAfterAGame

Remember those slick '05 shiny textures? Game rocked back then.

 

[DukeBobby]

I thought it was pretty good. I didn't like the King Kong sections, though.

You sick son of a bitch.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

It was a decent game. King Kong parts were repetitive and overall the game was really short with no major build up on the mechanics iirc. But it felt really satisfying playing Kong and the human bits were really well done too.

 

[Isotope]

When I got that demo disc from OXM, I was floored on how good this game looked.

Turned out the game was decently fun too.

 

[Certinty]

Pretty good game, had it on the PS2 though, was the 360 version a lot better?

 

[Sirim]

Then, play it?

 

[Bubbavelli]

I didnt even have an hdtv when it first came out on 360 and that shit still looked amazing for the time.

You're not going to get many old licensed games on digital stores.

I had this game along with Condemned Criminal Origins, PGR3 and Kameo for Xbox 360 launch. Loved it!

 

[Panda Rin]

I remember buying it used from Gamestop to get 1000 cheevos, then returning for it Avatar.

Solid game though

congrats to OP... the most pointless thread of the week!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I'm traumatized that you reminded me this movie existed

 

[matrixman92]

You know jack black, we truly are Peter Jackson's King Kong: the official game of the movie

I really liked this game on GameCube when I played it

 

[23qwerty]

I remember being completely amazed by how good it looked, I'm sure it looks like hot garbage now though.. Why was there a t-rex?

 

[themagicalkitsune]

DS version was shit iirc

Not entirely true. I know a few copies glitched, my own included

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I played it both on the PS2 and PSP and I loved it. I remember the puzzle solving and evading raptors using stealth. It was great.

 

[DogMeat77]

congrats to OP... the most pointless thread of the week!

Ah thread whining!

I remember really enjoying this game. The Kong sections were passable but the human portion is where it was really enjoyable. Looking back at screen shots just now, it holds up better than I would have thought. The Brontosaurus part was awesome for me.

There were T-rexes in the movie

 

[Floridian]

This game was really fun, go play it again.

 

[TI82]

This, Kameo, and Call of Duty 2 were the first next gen games I saw. I was so stunned. This is the first one I played (at a demo at Circuit City?) It was so awesome!

Never played the actual games, probably wouldn't hold up to the hype.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

DS version was shit iirc

It was legendary.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

IF it is anything like the movie, it must be a monotonous bore.

 

[TI82]

I'd like to imagine that actress browses GAF, comes to this post, and is just amazed, confused, ashamed, and astonished.

 

[Correctomundo]

I'm one of those psychos that puts it in their best games ever lists.

But it isn't unjustified. The tension is supremely palpable in the first person segments and I look at the Kong segments like a very weighty Prince of Persia clone. I dunno, man. Played through it on three different platforms and loved every single minute of each.

Because of this thread, I'll probably do it again. And soon.

That's all I remember this game for lol

 

[Murtrod]

I did love the PC game back in the day. Wonder how it holds up...

 

[TAJ]

Only available on PC if you get the "Gamer's Edition", btw. The regular release was a PS2 port.

 

[dperrin]

I just picked up the 360 version again the other day. I was wanting to play through it again as well!

 

[Skux]

I remember being amazed at King Kong's fur. How far we've come.

 

[sappyday]

Heh apparently Michel Ancel was behind this game.

 

[mattp]

didnt michel ancel direct this game?

 

[Toa TAK]

That V-Rex theme always comes creeping back in my head.

Loved this game, both as Kong and Jack.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

Six bullets on backup!

 

[sineclamor]

I remember I rented this from Blockbuster because I'd heard on the internet that the achievements were super easy to get, and I wanted the gamerscore. And i got them.

Wow, that's where I was.

 

[Toa TAK]

Woah now, the movie wasn't bad, though.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I felt the same way from when I watched it today. DirectTV!

You sick son of a bitch.

This got me, haha.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

didnt michel ancel direct this game?

Yes

 

[MattKeil]

It was never on PS3, so that's probably unlikely to happen.

There were T-rexes in the movie

No, but there were V-rexes.

 

[Aeqvitas]

One of the few games in the last 20 years that actually did dinosaurs well.

The game actually looked really good at the 360 launch, was slick with no UI, and was reasonably fun.

Also it is one of the easiest 1000GS you'll ever earn.

 

[Poona]

Can't even find a new PAL copy on xbox 360 anymore.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Played the PS2 version and iirc, the graphics was pretty good at that time.

 

[Dominator]

Really enjoyed this, it was the first game I ever played on my 360. I don't have it anymore but its on a list to re-buy.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

This game was pretty good graphically on vita
