Decent levels, good bosses! A totally good game.

Fun, but the later levels become about pixel-perfect platforming, and the platforming just isn't where it needs to be for that.

The King Kong game recontextualizes the movie into a first person shooter, but the plot is exactly the same: your crew goes to Kong's island and immediately regrets it. It's an atmospheric jungle primeval full of dinosaurs and giant bats and other assorted horrors, and you move through it on a mostly linear path. You only find weapons one-at-a-time with limited ammunition, roughly enough to keep things tense but manageable. The combat can be clumsy (though I suppose one could argue that that's the point), but frequent save points keep it on the right side of quality-of-life history. You also get to play as Kong himself in third-person for brief sequences, smacking other giant monsters around. The combat here is even simpler, but it gets the job done. It's a short game, and even then the loop starts to wear out its welcome near the end, with limited weapons and enemy types. The frame rate isn't great either, frequently getting choppy. But all-in-all, it's a fun romp, and definitely worth a play. This is probably as good of a King Kong game as we'll ever get, so if that's what you're looking for, bon-apetite.
