    Good but too short4
    It looks stunning....easily one of the best on the cube but its just too short.

    It only takes a couple of hours to complete, at which point you are given online codes to unlock different things...and have to do-over some of yout levels to amass 250,000 points to get an alternate ending.

    As Jack, you run around wielding a number of differnt guns...but spend more time looking for spears to light on fire as they inflict greater damage...you dont have a life bar, you just have to avoid being hit by someone/thing 3 times in quick succession.

    As kong...it gets fun. It takes a different route to the film as the interview with Peter Jackson says, they were able to do more with the game. You can run along the walls, swing on trees, fight V-Rex, raptors and giant millipede things.

    Graphically....its the best...no comparision to any other game. Replayability....not bad. Addictiveness is off the scale. It does make you jump when you are being chased and something falls behind you....not fun.

    only 4 stars because it is far too short. Granted there is only so much spearing, chasing and crushing you can do...but the main problem i have is its too short and theres no difficulty setting so any gamer over 15 is probably going to ablt to finish this in 1 sitting.

    KING KONG RULES!!!!!5
    WOW! What a game from the moment you fire up the game, it will BLOW you AWAY. The Graphics are a total KILLER!!! as for the game being to short (only a couple of hours) nonsense! even if it is for some, I am enjoying EVERY minute. It starts on a boat then you gotta make your way to land and start filming and boy does it get better chasing Kong, fighting centipedes, crabs, big flying bats, philosoraptors, and a T-REX YES A T-REX (as a human). Yeah you do throw alot of spears but when you gotta run through a valley with Brontosaurus' pelting up behind so you can get some fire (you will see) WOW.
    Kong is AWESOME to play as swinging through valley's, climbing rock face's you can power up kong by pressing a button repeatedly and the roar he lets out damn its loud. If you got a 5.1 or DTS surround sound system, hook your gamecube up to it and prepare to be blown away by the sound effect's and the music. The tension this game provides is something I have not experienced in years...GO AND BUY IT NOW!!!
