    Stupid game

    The worst game ever. Seriously. Sooo boring. I couldn't stand it. I can't believe that teens will go ape over this piece of crap.

    Poor Controls

    While there is some fun exploring the lost island, the controls are finiky. The game appears to have been rushed to market before the novelty wore-off. I cannot recommend this game as it takes the name of God in vain There are other curse words for children to pick-up. Why do video game writers insist on insulting the players!?

    Give me more

    Play is very good and follows movie well. Graphics and sound are excellent in MOST scenes. Could have a little more ability to go your own way. However there is more than enough possibilities to entertain. Only wish it was longer. End comes too quickly. All in all an excellent game.

    KONG!!!

    this game is harmless to anyone over the age of 12. Although it does have some scary monsters on Skull Island it is things that scare you the first time you see them or they surprise you. The best part is playing kong. You can go to new york climb buildings; you're like a 25 ft. tall spider-man! you can also fight all the monsters in skull island and beat them all up like little flies but it is challenging when you fight multiple t-rex which you do a lot. this is a great game after you see the movie.

    Good graphics and fun play. I like the fact you can replay any of your favourite levels. Maybe a little scary for younger kids (I still get freaked in the level 'V-REX' and 'RAPIDS')

    finally, a good movie game

    It's usualy stupid to expect a lot from a movie game, but not in this case. King Kong delivers intence action,a wide as- ortment of awsome scary mythical and ( suposidly) extinct creaturs,and a gripp- ing plot that follows the movie well.You get to play as Jack and Kong. As Jack you get to operate 4 different guns (I know that its not a lot, but it gets you through)some spears, and some sharp bones that you find on animal skeling- tons.As Kong you can throw and swing trees and kill noraly difficult enimies easily,but the bus sized bats and the t- rex' can provide a chalenge, espeialy when faced 2 or 3 on 1.If you think killing T-rexes as Kong is hard, merly surviving them as a human is practicly imposible.King Kong has some bugs, so be sure to save a lot,but other than that,this game is very fun. It keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of the game.On the whole, i'd rate this game 8.5 of 10.(7 being the average) Replay value: moderate. (good for a few times through)

    DO NOT SHOW THIS TO PEOPLE UNDER 13!

    It gave my cousin nightmares (she's 8) my other relitives could'nt sleep at night. so have caution about it. It depends what the courage level of the child is. I'm not saying anyone's a chicken In this situation but just take caution all right? thanks for reading my review.

    It is a fun game is you've seen the movie

    It will be scary if you haven't seen the movie. A few levels might be tricky for kids under 9. There is alot more blood then in the movie, but not enough to scare kids over 9. It is fun to play.

    kong's da stuff!

    King Kong is a totally appropriate game for all ages. I don't think it should be rated T, it should be E, the most it should be is E10+.What ever parents don't let their kids play it are to overprotective.
