Play as man, play as Kong, or don't play at all.

User Rating: 2 | Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie DS
King Kong was released about the time 'movie' based games started to become playable. This game for the Nintendo DS is quite the opposite of the movie. The movie is long with fantastic special effects, a great soundtrack and extreme action sequences. The game is short, has shocking graphics and hardly action at all.

The one big let down of this game is it's length. I bought it on a Friday and finished it by the end of the weekend. This means you don't get your $70 AUS worth. I would totally buy this game if it was $20 or thereabouts. Another let down of the game are it's graphics.

The graphics in the game are shocking, it looks as if Jack isn't holding the gun properly with his thumb on the inside. You can hardly make out what kind of gun he's holding! You have to look twice can hardly make out if a human is male or female. Another point is the amount of action.

I know in the movie most of the time they run from dinosaurs and King Kong, but in a video game all people want to do is take them out. Sadly all you can do is run, or die. Through passages that dinosaurs can't get to, it makes you feel kind of weak.

Ah well, another bad game has come out and everyone should put it behind them and look to the good Nintendo DS games out. The DS isn't a bad system, but this game is.
