    For the psp this game is impressive but overall the gameplay is lacking. Game is exciting at first but you soon realize you just fight the same bugs and dinosaurs the whole game. and the Kong missions are terrible.

    The story is stripped down from the console version and much of the later levels are missing.

    Play the console versions over this, but honestly even those games are overrated.

    The game was okay on PSP but the film is better as a big monkey jumps around for 3 hours. King Kong made a good point about stereo typing monkeys which saddly is missing in this game. I think I'll get the GBA version of this game.

    A massively cut-down version of the home console games. No companions, you're on your own. No idea where you're going or why. This is half a game at best.Tthe Kong levels are great fun but too few and really short. The Jack levels are messy and confusing. And the whole thing is over in what feels like minutes. An all Kong sequel would not be amiss if you're listening Ancel.

    Very linear game, with no aims of such - just troll through the levels, fight the enemies - put some wood in another piece of wood and turn it, open door - move, kill some more baddies - ohhh switch to kong, same old same old kill some baddies, climb, jump ... roar. Game complete. Very boring, very ancient - nothing new in this genre at all other than some nice sounds and boring visuals Very linear game, with no aims of such - just troll through the levels, fight the enemies - put some wood in another piece of wood and turn it, open door - move, kill some more baddies - ohhh switch to kong, same old same old kill some baddies, climb, jump ... roar.

    This is mostly a strategic action game with no clear paths to level success that becomes downright maddeningly addictive in trying to find the path to conquer each level. The graphics have some flaws, but the cinematic mystique of the environments is very well done. Playing as Kong is not nearly as engaging as Jack, and one major and frankly unbelievable oversight is the final level onThis is mostly a strategic action game with no clear paths to level success that becomes downright maddeningly addictive in trying to find the path to conquer each level.

Playing as Kong is not nearly as engaging as Jack, and one major and frankly unbelievable oversight is the final level on the Empire State Building. This should have been the hardest and most intense game play of all, but instead is not even game play really but a stupid cinematic throwaway!… Expand

    But while the PSP version adds a two-player Co-op mode, it also has wonkier controls than its console cousin, which weren't great to begin with.

    The control is decent enough for some fun dino hunting, the kind of deep jungle danger that we haven't had much of since the original Turok (and haven't had any of on PSP), but the handling of the story is messy and confusing.

    It is most definitely King Kong in the palm of your hand, but the sacrifices and compromises made to get it there ultimately suck away much of its appeal.
