Advantages: Loosk great

Disadvantages: Bad gameplay

I remember the hype around King Kong when it was released with such a huge budget much was expected of the game to succeed and I guess on many accounts it did. I didn't go to the cinema to see it as I heard it was on for over 3 hours and didn't want my backside falling into a coma. So instead I rented the DVD, much like the film the game allows you to play as Jack Blacks character or Kong himself, you go through each level detroying your opponents and anything else that gets in your way.

Graphics - They were excellent, probably the best part of the game is the way it looks, all the characters especially Kong himself are very well rendered and look awesome.

Gameplay - This is where the game takes a dip, the best word for the gameplay would be 'sluggish' you awkwardly move your character around the screen and it all feels very unresponsive.

Sound - With the sountrack to the film incorporated into the game you can't fault the sound effects in the game , nothing to complain about with the audio.

Overall - Well this game just wasn't for me, so much effort was put into the look that the gameplay seems to have been neglected too much. I'm afraid I can't recommend this game too highly.

Summary: It was an average effort here, too much emphasis on the look
