The only other game that has that story telling, atmosphere and music is Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, sadly the controls and some other stuff suck because it was released incomplete
The reason why some of the levels, such as the swamps, kong and log missions feel really disjointed and feel slapped together is because the xbox 360/ps3 versions have had the pre mission cutscenes removed for some unknown reason. In the ps2/xbox/game cube versions of the game there were small cutscenes that would play, ranging from simple glimpses and hints of what may be coming up next, or in the cases relevant to the mentioned levels, cutscenes that bridge the gaps between levels to stop them feeling disjointed and sudden. I honestly cant fathom why they were removed. Theres one really cool one where after hayes is trampled by the v rex and it tackles kong off the edge of the cliff, a cutscene would play showing kong and the v rex falling down the cliff, hitting the ground and staring eachother down. These cutscenes just make the experience 10x more cohesive and better in general
It’s so strange - About a year ago I made a video essay on this game for a video game writing course because it was a particularly fond game I bought after renting it twice from blockbuster, and one of the first things I said was that I doubted anybody else even remembered let alone played it. And suddenly I’m seeing this influx of content from people I follow all remembering and playing this game. I guess it turns out the game had more of a passionate following than I could’ve thought. I’m stoked to see it! Great video.
This game was fantastic, I used to have it on Playstation 2 and I played the absolute shit out of it, got the secret ending and everything. It's one of those games that is "forgotten" in the sense that it sits deeper in my subconscious than something like, say, Ocarina of Time, but whenever someone mentions it the memories come flooding back.
I remember I was 3 years old when I first saw King Kong in theatres. It always struck me with amazement and emotion from the action to the emotional scenes with Kong himself. The music also made both the game and movie memorable. I’m glad people have love and respect for both the game and movie because they still hold up with nostalgia and awesomeness. Like you said in the video, a remaster like Destroy all humans would be amazing for this game
It's been awhile since I did this, but I wanted to say that this video made me pick up the game for 360 again back when you first uploaded this video. I had it for ps2 growing up and loved the heck out of it, this vid reminded me of it and I got the game again 'cause of it. Thanks man, so many of your videos are timeless and invaluable, and definitely succeed in broadening people's horizons more than you probably realize.
2 MAGAZINES ON BACK UP! I played this game so much when I was younger! The atmosphere, immersion, sound design, music, lighting, guns, details, scale, suspense, creatures, time period technology, and survival aspect of it is incredible and something I wish we could experience this day in age with newer technology! This game was actually pretty scary as a kid too! Such a classic and great game! The vrex and other dinosaurs were handled so well and really make you feel small and puny! It's immersion was amazing! Good times! ❤ :') The Ed, edd, and Eddy comparison of of Carl to eddy is perfect! 😆 what a great classic show! I've always loved gorillas and primates and found them fascinating! I remember back in like 2nd grade my mom and my aunt checked me out of school to go see King Kong in the Theatre! From then on we called it "Kong Thursday!" Good times! 😆❤
This game is underrated and overlooked as heck. People often say that Spiderman 2 is the best movie based game, but this game here gets my vote. It's that good.
Oh man, I remember this game as a kid! I got it for Christmas one year with a GameCube and some other games as well, and remember being so terrified of it that I gladly let my older brother take the controller. Looks like I know what I'm looking for in the storage closet this weekend!
Great video! I used to play this game all the time when it first came out! Great memories. Can’t believe it was that long ago. They should definitely give this an HD upgrade.
I remember this game and loving it as a kid. Not related to the game but did you know the original king kong had a cut scene with a giant spider? apparently P.J recreated that scene using the same old technology they used in the 1920's. I always thought that was rather cool.
Absolutely loved this game as a kid I played it everyday on my PS2, the natives scared the shit out of me and I always replayed the Kong missions because those were my favorite!
I dont remember theirs was a twitter poll for this video and weather or not I voted but I'm glad you made this. I love this game as a kid and it scared the snot out of me.
Loved this one and I didn't even mind playing as the human Driscoll in between. Loved facing against dino's with the period piece guns and spears and ammo being not so plentiful. If Ubisoft made the game nowadays, I guarantee to kill one tiny dinosaur, you'd need to run around for ten hours grinding to be able to fight them.
God I remember everything, to the sounds, to the early levels with the bugs and how I didn't want to face them head on so I would just keep chucking bone spears over and over again. Good times.
I played this game so much that even as a kid I turned off the aiming crosshairs for the entirety of the game and could still nail my targets especially the spears (my personal favorite weapons) good times damn I missed playing this game on my GameCube
Very shocked by the ambition on display in this game. I have a soft spot for Jackson’s Skull Island just because forgotten by time ecology is a big favorite of mine. The ecosystem of the fissure is my favorite part of the film, I was giddy to see all the inverts in the game
I loved this game, I remember I visited the hospital once and I went to one of the computers to write down the cheats. I found a cheat saying you could give King Kong a golden Thompson which I tried a dozen of times and I was like: "Did I wrote it down incorrectly??". Of course it turned out to be fake.
I couldn't buy this game as a kid because my parent hated movie-tie-in-games, contrary to most families. But after seeing how much passion they had it almost feels like a Lucas-Arts game. I don't care about a videogames budget or limitations. I think everything can be expertly crafted with love and passion.
You shouldn't compare the "visual clarity" of a single player game versus a multiplayer game, because they are designed with different goals in mind. In most single player games, it needs to be tilted towards the player, even if it's unbeknownst to them, due to the perceived lack of fairness if they continue to lose. Meanwhile, a skill like color and shade differentiation is extremely vital in a game like Rising Storm 2, which has enemies blending into their environment almost perfectly, not due to poor design, but quite literally the opposite. It is obvious that in the real world, an army's goal is to camouflage into their surroundings, and no game of this genre can claim to be realistic or immeserive in the slightest if it doesn't attempt to achieve this to some degree. Games should *not* be streamlined for people who lack the perception, or willingness to build upon it.
i remember getting it for xbox because it had no games really at the time and woah, totally surprised me! Also, Spiderman 2 is the best movie tie in game
I saw this film in 05. I thought it was cool but man did it feel long. I never bought this game but I did play it in an old tech store when I was a kid.
Is weird to me how you talked about the issues of getting hitman to work, while when I played it worked perfectly. But I have never been able to get this game to work and ironically you didn't mention anything about it this time.
The only other game that has that story telling, atmosphere and music is Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, sadly the controls and some other stuff suck because it was released incomplete
![Making of - Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie [Behind the Scenes]](/img/1.gif)
Thought I was the only one who remembered this. Blew my mind as a kid.
Same
I remember getting this because I subscribed to a gaming magazine. I think I was 15 at the time and thought it was quite good.
Loved this game as a kid, well this and war of the monsters on the ps2
Never really finished the game, that giant centipede scares the shit out of me
Hell yeah
holy shit.. this game was amazing. you just took me back.
Yep me too, loved this game.

The Ed, edd, and Eddy comparison of of Carl to eddy is perfect! 😆 what a great classic show!
I've always loved gorillas and primates and found them fascinating! I remember back in like 2nd grade my mom and my aunt checked me out of school to go see King Kong in the Theatre! From then on we called it "Kong Thursday!" Good times! 😆❤
I remember really loving the game back then on gamecube, haven't played it in ages.
Gamecube was so dope with this game!
2 Cvit videos in one week?!? What the hell is happening?!?!?
I’ll take it
This game is underrated and overlooked as heck. People often say that Spiderman 2 is the best movie based game, but this game here gets my vote. It's that good.
I haven't forgotten it, i have a pc version, i play it every year. This is a materpiece and a childhood memory. One of the bests!
Oh man, I remember this game as a kid! I got it for Christmas one year with a GameCube and some other games as well, and remember being so terrified of it that I gladly let my older brother take the controller. Looks like I know what I'm looking for in the storage closet this weekend!
Ah man loved this game as a kid as well. This one, Red Steel, and God Father were my favorite games to play on my Wii
Great video! I used to play this game all the time when it first came out! Great memories. Can’t believe it was that long ago. They should definitely give this an HD upgrade.
Dude thanks for reminding me about this game I remember how much fun I had with it
I remember this game and loving it as a kid.

Man this takes me back....played this game a LOT back then.
The 360 version definitely looked next Gen at the time. Especially when you saw it on the kiosk. HD tvs were also so new. Great combo.
I never forgot this game. It’s my childhood and I’ve been trying to fix my ps3 or find a ps2 to be able to play my copy again 😔
Absolutely loved this game as a kid I played it everyday on my PS2, the natives scared the shit out of me and I always replayed the Kong missions because those were my favorite!
I dont remember theirs was a twitter poll for this video and weather or not I voted but I'm glad you made this. I love this game as a kid and it scared the snot out of me.
The Raptor sequences scared the living shit out of me. Had nightmares about T-rexs hunting for me as well, but kept going back to it
Haven’t played this game in years, but instantly recognized in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, they used the V-Rex roar for Ghidora
This game is honestly my childhood, I really really wish it could be remastered.
i’ve beaten this game around 30 times. love every play through
Loved this one and I didn't even mind playing as the human Driscoll in between. Loved facing against dino's with the period piece guns and spears and ammo being not so plentiful.
If Ubisoft made the game nowadays, I guarantee to kill one tiny dinosaur, you'd need to run around for ten hours grinding to be able to fight them.
Those bat things still haunt my nightmares. Such a fantastic game. Those centipedes, the spiders. Good times.
My copy of this game was so buggy back in the day... still good times
Fun fact I actually played and BEAT this game this year.... it was fun! :D
God I remember everything, to the sounds, to the early levels with the bugs and how I didn't want to face them head on so I would just keep chucking bone spears over and over again. Good times.
This was my favorite game as a kid, I finished it like 20 times in the og xbox
It's because of this video that I'm gifting this game to my dad as a Christmas present! (Hes a *MASSIVE* fan of Kong, and just gorillas in general.)
The nostalgia here is incredible
I played this game so much that even as a kid I turned off the aiming crosshairs for the entirety of the game and could still nail my targets especially the spears (my personal favorite weapons) good times damn I missed playing this game on my GameCube
holy crap i 100% forgot this game existed, and i loved it
Very shocked by the ambition on display in this game. I have a soft spot for Jackson’s Skull Island just because forgotten by time ecology is a big favorite of mine. The ecosystem of the fissure is my favorite part of the film, I was giddy to see all the inverts in the game
I would love to see this game remastered the game and the movie was legit my childhood
One of the best games I've ever played, if this would ever get a remastered, I would pay 100 Euro for this
1:39 "close brother and sister" i'm thinking Fatal Frame 5 plot
I used to play this all the time on PC. My little brother was terrified of the raptors
Probably beat this game atleast a 100 times back in 2005-2006 lol literally had a obsession with it.
We need a remastered of this.... what a game
Well done (👏)! This game still remains a favorite of mine to this day. 😊
I loved renting this game from Blockbuster for a couple weeks, and 100%ing it on xbox 360
I especially loved the kong game play as a kid
Oh yeah l, this game terrified me as a kid, but I still played through it. It was so good!
0:16 is the most 2005 cast EVER.
I watched the movie and I play the game on PS2 and black and white mode for some reason. But it was still cool
Bro i loved this game as a kid on ps2. Good job
This was one of my first GameCube games. :') Ubisoft needs to remaster this game honestly. I'm glad this game is backwards compatible on Xbox lol
I too was grateful to play this masterpiece, rare for a movie based video game to be great, those fuckin centipedes 😰
I loved this game so much, unfortunately my copy was damaged. So the game froze at random times and I never finished it.
That "almost dead" music sounds like Deus Ex HR
I loved this game, I remember I visited the hospital once and I went to one of the computers to write down the cheats. I found a cheat saying you could give King Kong a golden Thompson which I tried a dozen of times and I was like: "Did I wrote it down incorrectly??". Of course it turned out to be fake.
i still get shudders just thinking "# magazine on backup" *nightmares*
Predator concrete jungle was a classic too.
If Only there is a Community for this Specific Game.. :/ I would love to join That!
I loved this game, was eerie as fuck. The kong sections made me want to put my head in a blender though lmao.
I used to get scared playing dis as a kid lol
I loved this game as a kid

Finally uploading again ive been waiting so long
I saw this film in 05. I thought it was cool but man did it feel long. I never bought this game but I did play it in an old tech store when I was a kid.
Let me know If someone is intrested in doing a re make of this Beautiful game
Rebind keys to Right mouse- aim; Q-fine aim; Z-check magazines. You're welcome.
i always wondered why they changed kong´s face in the 360 version. In the PS2 version, he looks very different
I have "AHH IM DRY!" burned into my ears so much so that to this day I still quote it in other games.
I remember playing the Xbox 360 version and thinking how amazing the graphics were at the time
Dude you got to do a jak and daxter analysis that game was amazing!
I had this game on my DS back in the day, shit was great
That’s the game I bought at lunch for my Xbox 360! Lol
The GBA port was also surprisingly good !
I remember only playing this game because it had easy achievements
Hold up, it has not been a week and Cvit uploads two videos
Me:Cuts myself by accident
Death music starts to play
*EeeeEeeeeoohhhhhh*
I'm pretty sure this game is the origin of my huge fear of bugs. Especially the centipedes. Fuck those things.
bro this game was great
I never forgot.
Man idk if its the best, the revenge of the sith game was pretty damn good.
*IT'S OK. I'VE GOT ENOUGH MAGAZINES*
Yeah, bullshit, Driscoll.
I would love to see an MGS review from you
For me, this game was amazing at the time, it was very engaging
The only thing I remember about this game is the terribly low FOV that made me motion sick.
My mind when Cvit compliments Death stranding. "Please tell me more and would u mind making a 2 hour long video about it" ou0
You sound an awful lot like Under the Mayo. Never seen you two in the same room either, now that I think about it.....
I never finished this game because I was too scared as a kid
I just remember the game being long as shit but still fun
Is weird to me how you talked about the issues of getting hitman to work, while when I played it worked perfectly. But I have never been able to get this game to work and ironically you didn't mention anything about it this time.
yeah i had no issues recording the game other than some frame rate dips
@@Cvitwow thanks for the response. Weird, great video btw. I also love this game
Anyway to play this game without having your pc getting bricked
Played on my ps2 then my Xbox 360 and finally Xbox one.
Funfact this is a 50 game now
Dude hell yeah
We need a remastered version
i COMPLETELY agree this game is totally underrated. i was obsessed with it when I was a kid.
The only other game that has that story telling, atmosphere and music is Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, sadly the controls and some other stuff suck because it was released incomplete
@@ZelenikTchingy Those controls made me wanna kill myself
TWO MAGAZINES ON BACKUP
JAAAAAAACK!!!
Its ok i got enough magazines
Hey Jack, you want to quit counting out loud? Or maybe you wanna attract more of those things!
This island is fantastic!
ONE MAGAZINE ON BACKUP
The V-Rex and brachiosaur missions scared the shit out of me as a kid. A remaster of this game would be a dream.
SAME
a remake would be difficult or expensive because obvious licensing issues but fuck man i wish...
I used to have nightmares about the giant centipedes in this game when I was a kid
The V-Rex in this game is the best roar.
Dude the raptors in the stampede area were so fast, I shat myself every time I heard them.
