Advantages: Great single player mode and very impressive graphics.

Disadvantages: There is no multiplayer mode at all.

After watching the excellent new version of the film King Kong I felt that the game really would be very good. After seeing some adverts and trailers I really thought that this would be a game worth getting. I got this originally from Game for £20 which I thought was quite expensive but never the less I was eager to try it out. You can get this game for just £6.50 which really is an excellent price. The game was released in Novemember 2005 and has been available across multiple platforms including the PSP.

The first thing I thought the game did really well was have missions that really were based accurately on the film itself. It is a first person shooter game and the graphics really are excellent especially for a PSP console. There are cutscenes which really do look very realistic which really enhance the overall quality of the game. I will be honest, I didn't anticipate the game to be as scary as it was! I would really go by the age rating of this as 12+ because there were many things that made me jump.

I didn't like the fact that this game is single player only and I would have liked to have seen some multiplayer functionality within the game. However, the gameplay and the quality of the single player mode I think is enough to look past this disadvantage. The weapons really are very good and they are quite diverse giving teh gameplay more enjoyment, the sounds are also very realisitic. I really loved how in this game you can play as man and also play as king kong which again gives variety and enjoyment to the game.

I found that the game was generaly quick to startup and the game does offer a lot of gameplay hours. The lack of any form of multiplayer however does mean that the life of the game is somewhat limited. I really do thing that maps such as the Skull Island are really graphically presented very well indeed and it does look very realistic. I have really enjoyed this game but I think that £20 was too high a price, but considering you can now buy this for only £6.50 I would really recommend it. The single player really is excellent and is closely related to the film. I hope this was useful and thank you very much for reading.

Summary: A very good game overall that any King Kong fan would enjoy!
