King Kong

The first-person action adventure/third-person gorilla beat-’em-up combo genre has been born in Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie. As the long-winded title suggests, this is the game based on the upcoming retelling of the 1933 film by the Academy Award-winning director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. King Kong feels more like a stand-alone product than a handy cash-in for the license, however. This game blends the aforementioned first-person action sequences with its third-person (or should it be third-gorilla?) components remarkably well, as you traverse the perils of Skull Island as both screenwriter Jack Driscoll and the 800-pound gorilla himself, King Kong. It also helps that both components, on their own standing, can be a great deal of fun when the game is at its best–which, fortunately, is the majority of the time. Unfortunately, even the majority of the time isn’t very long in the case of King Kong, a game that won’t take you more than a single afternoon to beat. But that afternoon will be well spent.
