This game was so good. There was never a part during the game that I became bored. It really kept me wanting more. For a launch title, this game had really great graphics. I thought that even though the game was pretty short, it still holds up as a great action/adventure game. I personally loved this game and definitely recommend it to all xbox 360 owners. When you play as Kong, you truly get a sense of power. You can pretty much take anything down in you path and the enjoyment from this is awesome. Another thing I really liked about this game was the detail that the game goes into. Some parts of the game truly blew me away with its graphics. One thing that wasn't the best on this game was the way the achievments worked in the game. There was only 9 of them, and basically if you complete the game, you will unlock all of them while doing so and get the 1000 pts. This just seemed way to easy and with Microsoft saying how great these achievements are for games, these were not that great. Overall, I really loved this game and thought it was great!

Presentation
The menu is a little blah. Not great, not horrible, it's just kinda there. It in no means takes away from the greatness of the game, but it certainly doens't add to it.

9.0 Graphics
For a launch title this game is pretty incredible in terms of graphics. The first couple chapters of the game don't look as good as the rest (like 5% of the game). I don't know why, it just does.

9.5 Sound
The sound of the game is amazing and really adds to a realistic gaming experience. Things sound like they're are right in the room next to you. It really adds to the mood of the game.

8.0 Gameplay
The gameplay of this game is great, don't get me wrong, but it is pretty short. This is my only real gripe of this game. There is so much more the game could have had. It was great as is however.

7.5 Lasting Appeal
This game doesn't scream lasting appeal. It's a great game, don't get me wrong, but it lacks certain things that could make it last longer. No mulitplayer, no Live aspects (except achievments), etc.

8.5 Overall

Kong - Amazing sound for an amzing game.

I don't usually like games that come from movies. The same thing goes with books becoming movies. They tend to leave some small but yet significant details out at times. But this game is great. The Story fits amazingly well. It goes along pretty well with the movie. You are going to want to rent it and get your points before you buy it. I was at a friend's house one Saturday and we went through and beat the whole game in like 6 ½ hours. It was pretty easy and king Kong was a BEAST. Very fun for the length though.
First of all, The graphics are amazing for a launch title. But you can't expect much from launch titles because they aren't always the best. But this is great in the graphics departments. It is cool but not 100% real which is impossible not in the movies. But you never know with the technology that we have today. it is getting amazingly great. Plus, the sound is great. I like to put that sucker on full boar and the subwoofer all the way up and it is sick. Pretty awesome stuff. It is cool that you walk around as a normal human for most of the game but there are few scenes were you can be king Kong and Kick some but. It is cool that they don't just give you the health and ammo that you have. You can talk to your friends in the game to see how they are doing.
Although the game is straight forward it is too short. There are no ways to check out other things. You do your levels and it is it. Although I do not own this game I have played the whole game over at a friends house and it is amazing. You should definitely get it. You don't have to buy. Just go out and rent it and beat it. But, you will have a lot of fun when you play.

Good game,

But as you must know, It's old, so don't expect the best images.
The sound is perfect!
