    It's visually murky at best - sometimes it's difficult to make out what's happening or to find key items. [Feb 2006, p.97]

    You don't get to rampage in the city, you don't get to climb the building, you don't get to fight off planes ... you don't even get to enjoy the change in visuals after playing 17 stupidly-short levels that all looked the same.

    This poor excuse of a first-person shooter is so bad that other developers should study it and use it as a guide for what to avoid when putting together similar games in the future.

    Boring as hell and offering zero merits to its credit, Peter Jackson's King Kong is a complete letdown for the Nintendo DS. If Kong were actually around and played this game, he'd jump off the Empire State Building than tolerate another minute of this monkey poop.

    Borderline unplayable thanks to its horrid graphics, and the gameplay does nothing to inspire anyone to even attempt to persevere through its short yet inexplicably dull set pieces.

    I had a lot of fun playing King Kong on the PlayStation 2 so I got the DS version without checking its ratings. And wow, this is very bad. ItI had a lot of fun playing King Kong on the PlayStation 2 so I got the DS version without checking its ratings. And wow, this is very bad. It looks awful and the gameplay is sheer frustrating because of the broken controls. The Kong levels are funny at times but the overall experience is exhausting.… Full Review »
