    Comes off as an uneven experience, but one with plenty of invigorating moments that make the whole thing feel worth it.

    Beautiful but muddy environments, frustrating puzzles, repetitious opponents and clunky Kong controls.

The game itself isYou might remember the movie how wonderful it was right? Well I can say that the game is at height as good in my opinion. The game itself is very scary at some points, something I liked here and you get the feeling of survival mode as you go through these interesting ways to escape from Skull Island. The enemies is fun to defeat and challenging aswell. In every aspect, the game is very balanced in many forms, which makes it fun just to play it further.… Full Review »

The natives were scary and so were the giant bats and don't even get me started on the giant millipedes! This is the first FPS game I've ever played.
