Tomb Raider fans have long been waiting for the return of the sexy Lara Croft.  She finally makes her return in the highly anticipated newest edition to the game saga, Tomb Raider:  Legend. 

Some of you may be wondering if this game is worth your time.  Some of the previous Tomb Raider games were not very fun or impressive.  In fact they were down right terrible.  But Tomb Raider:  Legend is absolutely awesome and quite possibly the best in the saga.

Take your adventurer, Lara Croft with her guns at her hips to various exotic and modern locations.  Yes, you still raid ancient tombs, evade traps, solve puzzles, and explore dangerous locations.  But this time it is much more fun.  Lara has a whole menagerie of brand new weapons, communication devices, and tools at her disposal.  I personally like the grappling hook.  I found myself using it many times to swing over a dangerous pit, or to grab at something I just couldn’t reach.  If a baddie approached, I would engage him in a quick and impressive gun battle.  There were also a few vehicle chases.

A huge improvement to the game is the controls.  The controls of Tomb Raider: Legend are much more fluid and extremely flawless compared to previous editions of the game.  No longer does Lara feel clumsy and awkward.  Movement is just beautiful. 

Speaking of beauty, the environments are just breath taking.  In fact, I had to sit back and blink a couple of times.  All of the environments are living and breathing.  Whether if you are a top a building, trudging along a snow capped mountain, or sneaking around an ancient tomb you will feel as if you are really there.  Not to mention the fact that much of the game’s environment is usable and must be used to your advantage in order for you to proceed.  Many of the games’ puzzles are solved by using the things around you.  Pay attention!

Some other perks to Tomb Raider:  Legend is that there are numerous secrets and unlockables.  If you thought Lara was sexy in her usual outfit, wait until you see the others…

Tomb Raider:  Legend is available on Playstation 2, XBOX, and XBOX 360.  It has an ESRB rating of T for teen.  This is because the game features violence, suggestive themes, language, and blood.  For you cheaters out there, a strategy guide is available.

WWE has an interesting story on the current batch of consoles. For the Gamecube and Playstation 2, games like WWE Day of Reckoning and WWE Smackdown!, respectively, are downright amazing wrestling titles that offer a flurry of features, solid graphics, and a tuned gameplay element. Meanwhile, THQ, the same company that published the aforementioned titles, has had an extremely rough time putting out a quality title for the good old Xbox. Needless to say, both WWE Raw and WWE Raw 2 were both below average titles that could have used a lot of improvement. THQ, looking for a fresh start, decided to go with WWE Wrestlemania 21 as the name for their new game in hopes of starting anew. Can they start a good franchise this time around?

To be blunt and answer that question quickly for you unlucky WWE fans, no. No, no, and no again. Simply put, WWE Wrestlemania has fixed none of the problems of the two Raw games and, in fact, has even compounded on them, making them much more glaring and therefore much worse. It is truly disappointing to see a company that can put out such quality games of the same type for two other consoles just can’t get it right time and time again. The graphics are shiny and sparkly but not without their problems, the gameplay received a little bit of refinement but still has plenty of bugs, and the overall presentation of the game is just sub par.

Starting with the gameplay, Wrestlemania 21 just seems to get all the basics wrong. The buttons are what you would expect, one button for to strike your opponent, two grapple buttons, and two counter buttons. However, this doesn’t translate well into the game due to how incredibly stupid the other wrestlers are. For instance, you could be playing a tag match and have your opponent pinned to the mat and his partner won’t even run in to help him half the time, and even when he does he gets there too late. At other times, it will seem like the AI has run out of gas, especially when they will just stand there and not do anything at all for seconds. Later, the game will seem like it crashed and the AI is simply looping when they repeat the same actions, usually going for the same move or trying to climb the ropes, over and over and over again even though it never worked in the first place. Really, how can a game be fun to play when it feels like you are playing against some incompetent two year old?

The most frustrating aspect about WWE Wrestlemania 21, like with the previous Raw games, is that the gameplay really could have been fun. The game has plenty of features, different match types, customizations, wrestlers, and moves when wrestling, but all those features and match types don’t help when the game isn’t fun to play in the first place due to things like terrible hit detection (and this game is very, very bad). It is so disappointing to play a game where it is just no fun due to its sloppy, unrefined gameplay when it could have been a solid title with just a little more polishing.

At least the game has a decent career mode if you can actually get past how much of a pain it is to play Wrestlemania 21. You start off by making your own custom wrestler from the ground up (with plenty of nice little customizations thrown in) and then move on to earn cash by wrestling matches to by more moves, entrances, costumes, etc. After that, you can engage in dozens of matches on your way to stardom. The game has a pretty decent storyline, but it offers no ability to change it as it is all pre-scripted. Sure, there are some bugs and nuisances present here as well, but overall the career mode is the most engaging aspect of the game that would have been fun if wrestling the matches would have been tempting in the first place (sad that no kind of “simulate match” feature was available).

Moving on from the gameplay, the game is also presented very unpolished. The menus are ugly and clunky, hard to navigate through. There is nothing more frustrating and more of a turn off then a game that makes you want to snap it in half just because you can’t navigate the menus properly. Once you select what you want to do, the loading times can be downright unbearable at times (this is the Xbox, people!). Within the match, the graphics are actually surprisingly beautiful. Characters are very well designed and animated, the environments are detailed, the special effects are great. But, as with everything else in the game, there are problems. These problems exist in choppy framerates, occasional jagged edges, and animation issues.

Well, at least you’ll get some good online play out of the game, right? Right?! Sorry friends, but WWE Wrestlemania came with another bug: the online play won’t work. That’s right, after trying repeatedly this unlucky reviewer found that the game won’t connect. After checking around, it is obvious that everyone is having the same problem. Disappointing, indeed, and this only compounds on the problems of Wrestlemania 21. The verdict? Avoid this game at all costs.

Given the crazy success of the original Half-Life (much of it spurred by its innumerous and even more successful mods which were generated by a hyperactive Half-Life 2 modding community), it was never doubted that eventually a sequel to the popular first-person shooter would make its way onto store shelves.

What makes Half-Life 2 truly special stems from its incredibly gripping storyline. Although we won’t go into details here for risk of spoiling anything (trust me, you don’t want it spoiled!), just know that you will be doing plenty of gun-toting once again as the legendary gaming icon Gordan Freeman. The storyline is by far one of the best to have ever occurred on a FPS and it draws gamers in and never lets them go. Of course, such a great storyline wouldn’t be much without some solid gameplay to back it up. Thankfully, Half-Life 2 has just that.

The guns in Half-Life 2 are very solid. Not only were they designed well, but there is a large arsenal of devastating weaponry that can be found throughout the game (and trust me, you’ll need it!). Each weapon has its own advantages and each is good to use against certain kinds of enemies and in certain situations, and learning to master when to use the crowbar, the machine guns, the rifles, the shotguns, the rocket launchers, and the gravity gun are all critically important to survival due to the fact that ammo tends to be limited and the difficulty of the game is not easy, to say the least.

On top of action-packed, intense sequences that will draw gamers close to death multiple times and will force them to use cunning strategy and luck to survive, the game’s enemies also have very advanced AI. This AI will surprise and challenge gamers at every turn. Multiple enemies will use squad tactics and will even attempt to use things such as decoys and other advanced strategy on top of the expected taking cover that has become normal for FPS games.

Interaction with the environment is also good in Half-Life 2. Many of the objects in the environment can be destroyed and pumped full of bullets, and others can be picked up, thrown, used, and be manipulated in other fashion. Some of these are critical to advancing in the game while others were included simply to add more realism and authenticity to the feel of the game.

The visuals in Half-Life 2 are by far some of the best around. Even the Xbox version, which has been scaled down considerably compared to the PC version, was ported quite well and still contains many of the aspects of the visuals that were so dearly appreciated by PC gamers. Water effects, explosions, and other special effects are all spot-on and held to make the game feel more real.

Additionally, character models in the game, ranging from Gordan Freeman to the enemies, are all done excellently. They look and move like real people. They are incredibly detailed and their animations are very fluid. These solid visuals are only backed up by an incredible physics engine which mimics real life movements realistically. It is one of the best physics engine ever seen in a video game.

If you thought the graphics were something to brag about, the sound isn’t far behind by any means. The audio department contains a great musical score, which contributes to the great storyline, and that always matches the situation. Even better, the sound effects are all realistic and solid, making the visuals come to life. The voice acting was also given much care, something that many games overlook.
Overall, Half-Life 2 turns out to be an excellent games that all fans of FPS games should appreciate. It is solid in its fundamentals and has been polished to a great extent, making it a classic and a treasure that all gamers will enjoy.

Movie-based video games are notorious for being bad. Not only do they generally turn out to be poor games, they also tend to be very flamboyant about it and have no shame in advertising how truly poor they are. This is generally due to a few reasons, the first being that the games are almost always unoriginal, basing themselves entirely on an already existing game and simply mixing in the movie’s character into the game, giving it a slightly different look, and setting the story to match the movie. Even worse than mimicking the existing game, they also have the tendency to mimic it very poorly and can be found absent of the essentials that made the other game so good. These factors, combined with poor gameplay fundamentals and dynamics, make for a truly dull game.

Arguably, even worse is the exploitation that occurs of the movie’s license. Bad video games based on a movie really make the movie look bad itself. The licenses are usually poorly implemented and poor representations of their big screen counterparts. All of these things are the results of a rushed product: when the developer tries as quickly as it can to put out the game without actually trying to put any effort in to make the game fun and original.

All of this intro was to introduce you to Aeon Flux, a game that, although not being overly fun or groundbreaking, still manages to use the license well enough and to introduce enough fun, original concepts to actually be a pretty good game. It isn’t amazing by any means, but it is one of the rare movie-based games that looks like it actually tried to make a decent video game.

From the start, gamers will notice Aeon Flux is packed with style. From the graphics to the gameplay, the developers did a good job of trying to match the unique style that was presented by the original TV series. The game looks stylish, and the gameplay, from the combat to the movements, are also very stylish in design. This unique style gives Aeon Flux its own identity in the gaming world.

Keep in mind, however, that Aeon Flux probably isn’t the game for anybody. This is due to some things that could have, and should have, been improved upon. Namely, the controls can tend to be twitchy and unresponsive. Additionally, there is no real targeting system, making combat a pain at times. (combined with a camera that isn’t always welcoming).

Additionally, the game attempts to mimic is TV counterpart entirely in how its structured extremely disorderly. Albeit fun and interesting, the different shows in the series were tied together in so apparent fashion, each new entry into the series was completely unrelated to all of the past entries. The game is the same way, and the story definitely isn’t gripping by any means.

The majority of the gameplay is based around its combat, which on the whole is actually quite fun due to its unique style and gameplay setup. The combat is fast and requires good response times, but it is rewarding to watch all of the different moves that can be executed. Additionally, guns can also be used on top of hand-to-hand combat, and there is quite a good selection of weaponry in the game’s arsenal available to the player.

The other primary gameplay element is the puzzle solving and platformer setup. Although the moves that make up this aspect of the game are pretty good eye candy, they tend to be very simple to execute and don’t require much skill or timing. Despite that, at least they were implemented well and look good.

The animations in the game tend to be pretty fluid and solid, highlighting the game’s good character models. The environments can be a bit sparse and undetailed, but the game moves very quickly so there isn’t much time to sit around and enjoy the scenery anyway. The only real knock on the graphics system comes from its rag-doll physics, which tend to be very poor and unrealistic.

On the whole, Aeon Flux turns out to be a pretty fun, appealing, and original game. It has just enough unique concepts and a unique style that make it different from other games and give it a step up on the usual gaming foray. Indeed, certain aspects of the game should have been given more consideration and care, but the game is still quite good and is an easy recommendation for a rental and possibly even a purchase for gamers who enjoy the game’s setup.

If you are a fan of The Prince of Persia saga, you will be pleasantly surprised with the end of the long standing trilogy… The Prince of Persia:  The Two Thrones.  This action game offers a dramatic end with an outstanding climax.  It puts on new spin on previous editions to the saga.

The game starts with the prince returning from the Island of Time to his home in Babylon.  He brings along his lover, Kaileena.  Unfortunately, the prince returns to find the land ravaged by war.  His homeland is against him!  The prince is captured.  Kaileena sacrifices herself to save him by releasing the Sands of Time.  The prince then wanders to change the things that have happened.  He soon learns that past battles have awakened a dark prince who slowly begins to posses him.

The Two Thrones is a bit different than the previous editions to the saga.  This is because you will now play as two different warriors.  The new addition is the dark prince.  Both warriors posses unique skills, abilities, combat styles, weapons, histories, and attitudes. 

While playing as the dark prince, you soon learn that he is very much your alter ego.  His intentions are not like the “good” prince of Persia.  The dark prince loses health constantly.  This means you must look for sand to restore his health.  This is found hidden throughout the environment and on slain enemies. 

The game play consists of free-form fighting.  You always have the option of killing the enemies by whatever means you feel necessary.  Be it by decapitation, stealthy sneak attacks, or hand to hand combat… the decision is entirely up to you.  You have the ability to manipulate time to your advantage with the Sands of Time.  You will often find yourself slowing or rewinding time to give you the advantage over unsuspecting foes.

The musical score is a bit different than the previous editions.  You will not hear any of the “metal music” as before.  In fact, the score is the best of the three editions and it coincides with the game perfectly.  The graphics are also quite breathtaking. 

The combat system is also better than the previous editions.  A new stealth skill has been added so that you must learn to cleverly kill your foes.  Speed kills has also been added to the game.  This is a bit difficult to master, but once you have done so it is quite rewarding.  Throughout the game, you will always have a sense of urgency to beat the Sands of Time!

The Prince of Persia:  The Two Thrones is available on Playstation 2, XBOX, and Gamecube.  The XBOX has the advantage of offering crisper graphics than that of the other two systems.  The ESRB rating is M for Mature.  This is because the game has blood, gore, intense violence, and nudity. 

If you love the epic tale of Star Wars then get ready to take part in some of the epic battles from the films in Star Wars Battlefront II.  This is the second installment of the popular action game.

This installment is a bit different than the first of the series.  This is because you can now look at it from the dark side perspective.  You can follow the story of Darth Vadar’s elite 501st legion of stormtroopers, not to mention other stories.  You can see the massive destruction and terror that the dark side caused.  Or, perhaps help out the Rebellion.

Star Wars Battlefront II takes you to new locations that are found in Episode 3.  These locations are both on land and space.  Some locations include:  Utapau, Coruscant, Mustafa, Tantive IV, and the Deathstar!

Each level features open ended missions that were inspired by the 6 Star Wars films.  You may have a mission to assassinate someone, or to destroy an enemy ship.  Each mission allows you to do things as you see fit.  Throughout the levels, expect huge explosions and epic battles.  You will also get to experience some of the classic movie moments.

Some new features of this game are actually some of the most enjoyable.  You can now participate in dog fights aboard various vehicles.  These include X-wings, TIE fighters, Jedi Starfighters and more!  There is also a new dash ability that works out great if you are playing as a Sith or Jedi!

If you get really good at the game, you may have a chance to play as a Jedi, a Sith, or a bounty hunter.  Play as Yoda or Darth Mual and unleash your light saber.  Perhaps even show of some of the powers of the Force…

The musical score is outstanding as to be expected from a Star wars themed game!  The graphics also make you feel as if you are really in the game.  The AI is much more intelligent than that of the first in the Battlefront series.  The storyline is also much more captivating and enduring.  Lastly, the controls are very smooth and responsive.

Star Wars Battlefront II Is available on XBOX, Playstation 2, PSP, and PC.  It has an ESRB rating of T for teen.  This is because it contains violence and mild language. 

If you are looking for the ultimate fighting game, then get ready for Soul Calibur III.  This is the third in the popular Soul Calibur series.  This new version offers 3 new characters, different play modes, and customizable characters!

The story thus far:  An unholy sword was sealed away by the destined one.  However, a mysterious being revives the azure knight, Nightmare.  Soon, the legendary battle of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge moves to the next stage.  Will you have the sword that prevails over all?

Soul Calibur III is very much like its predecessors, except it does have many new concepts.  The original Tales of the Sword mode allows you to follow different characters and see what fate leads them to.  However, there are now 3 new characters to choose from:  Zasalamel, Tira, and Setsuka.  This now makes 25 playable characters!

You may now also create your own character.  You can customize the sex, look, occupation, and weapon of your own unique character.  This character can play through the Chronicles of the Sword mode.

If this wasn’t enough there are various new stages, each as beautiful looking as the last.  This includes a castle in Germany, a clock tower, a shrine in Greece, and many more!

Other modes of Soul Calibur III are the practice mode (where you can train), versus mode (for 2 player fighting), and the museum mode.  The museum mode is where you can view all of the past history of Soul Calibur and anything you may have unlocked.

The game itself has outstanding visual effects.  The character models are highly detailed.  The background music really gets you in the fighting mood!  Best of all, the voice acting is just as funny as the previous editions to the series.

Soul Calibur III is easy enough for beginners to learn.  It has a simple concept, but it is a lot of fun to play,  Each character is unique, yet balanced from one to the next so you don’t have to worry about which one is best to play as.    You must focus on timing and learning combos to succeed.  However, this is easy to master and the controls are quite responsive.

Soul Calibur III is available on Playstation 2.  It has an ESRB rating of T for teen.  This is because it contains violence and suggestive themes.

Splinter Cell carries a very unique story. Splinter Cell is loved by gamers worldwide yet hated dearly by fans of other “Stealth” games such as MGS, Splinter Cell games seem to find a perfect blend of action and stealth (and having a kick ass main character, Sam Fisher, doesn’t hurt). After handing over the reigns to another development team for the second game, the original team was hard at work on making a new Splinter Cell game, the third in the series, Chaos Theory. Can Chaos Theory provide all the great moments that previous games have done so well at?

Splinter Cell’s newest release has quite a scaled down arsenal. Chaos Theory seems to have a “short but sweet” attitude when it comes to arming Sam. There may not be a big choice, but what’s there is great. Your SC Pistol is back along with the reliable SC-20k with a launcher that can be loaded with airfoil rounds, sticky cameras, and sticky shockers. A new, interesting weapon is the combat knife which adds a whole new take onto the gameplay. Now, with the press of a button, operatives can instead slash a guy with the knife rather than trying to knock him out quietly or grab him.

By far the most interesting feature, which also has been extremely well implemented, is the cooperative play. Two operatives can now pair up either online or offline and tackle through various missions together. However, this isn’t just a normal cooperative mode, this coop mode has received special attention. The two agents can combine to produce a variety of moves ranging from one standing on the others’ shoulders, one setting up a rope the other can rappel down with, one setting up and then launching the other up into the air, etc. Special kudos go to the Ubi dev team that put so much effort here.

Then arrives the visuals of Chaos Theory. The visuals are simply amazing yet again. Characters, both Sam and enemies alike, are extremely detailed down to the finest points, including their hair, their muscle mass, their facial expressions, etc. Their animations are also extremely smooth, really making you feel like you are Sam Fisher working through every dangerous level. Environments are also well detailed with plenty of little trinkets to be seen and heard, including radios playing different songs or talk shows, picture of half-naked women, etc.

As with the graphics, the sound is another area where Splinter Cell games always seem to excel, and this Chaos Theory is no exception. While the music isn’t always exactly fitting for the situation and for the type of game it is, at least it doesn’t hurt the ears. But the real drawing point is the games special effects which are just awesome. You don’t have to see your enemy to know where he is, you can just hear him. Footsteps, dialogue between characters (there is plenty of it), gun shots, etc, all sound very, very good.

Chaos Theory is the best Splinter Cell game yet. Period. It is also the best Stealth Action game yet. Period. There is simply no competition for a game that just gets everything right. Intriguing gameplay with plenty of features, gorgeous visuals, and great sound all combine to form a perfect package that every gamer should own.

Quake. The name alone brings up a countless number of fond memories for gamers worldwide. It is one of the most popular and best selling game franchises of all time. So popular it is, in fact, that there is an entire gaming convention named after it. The effect the Quake series had on gaming, particularly multiplayer gaming, is innumerous. A groundbreaking shooter, Quake created entirely new bounds and expectations in the genre.

Despite all of its accomplishments, the history and tradition of a franchise of games means nothing when looking at the quality of the newest installment. What the predecessors has accomplished doesn’t make a game any better. Having said that, Quake 4 has officially hit shelves and attempts to bring gaming history to the present with a new graphics engine, a new story, and the same old Quake lovin’.

However, gamers probably shouldn’t be quite so quick to celebrate the arrival of Quake 4. It isn’t the messiah of video games. It isn’t a savior by any means. Hell, it sadly doesn’t
even break any new boundaries like its predecessors did. Instead of providing countless hours of constant enjoyment, Quake 4 actually provides strong feelings of nostalgia. It
just feels like the same old thing. Been there, done that, played it before kind of feeling. Although die hard fans of the series no doubt exalt the arrival of Quake 4, the game is not
likely to win over many new followers.

The Xbox 360 version of Quake 4, in particular, holds true to the Quake name in terms of console installments of the series. Despite being similar in terms of content to its PC
counterpart, Quake for the Xbox 360 has been scaled down a lot, too much in fact, and doesn’t offer that great of an experience at all. Plainly put, the game is actually quite
clunky and unrefined.

While Quake 4 still boasts pretty good graphics, on the Xbox 360 they really aren’t overly impressive. They tend to be sparkly and shiny, sure, but they don’t tote the power
of the system itself. The graphics really don’t even appear to be next-gen at all. The textures can be jaggedy and refined at times, the character animations can be clunky and funny looking, and the whole game has a slight fuzzy feel to it. Even with all of this scaling down to fit the Xbox 360, the game still experiences slow downs and tends to run pretty poorly at times. The frame rate slows down to very low levels in any kind of tense firefight, really dragging any sort of enjoyment away from the experience.

The story in the game really isn’t much and doesn’t deserve much mentioning, but needless to say, gamers will find themselves in plenty of large firefights with some pretty
crazy looking enemies. The game is fast paced, action packed, and quite gory (in a beautiful way, however).

First person shooters rely on great weapons. Sadly, Quake 4 doesn’t pack any weapons really worth remembering. Granted, there are a lot of fun weapons to use, too many of
them feel recycled from previous Quake games and bear too much resemblance to weapons from other games. Even with bearing resemblance, in most cases they aren’t as
good as the weapons that they are similar to. On the whole, the arsenal is pretty bland and unoriginal, just basic in their design. Nothing to be awed over.

In fact, each weapon just feels clunky and each has its own problems. None feels truly devastating in either their design, the way they fire, the damage they do, or even the special effects from the resulting shots. Quake is known for devastating, well designed weapons, and Quake 4 simply doesn’t contain those weapons.

The multiplayer modes are basically carbon copies of the multiplayer modes to be found in previous Quake titles, particularly Quake 3. If you don’t feel nostalgia at this point, it can be deduced that you have never played a Quake game before. Don’t get me wrong, the multiplayer, particularly that through online (such as through Xbox Live for the Xbox
360), is quite fun, but it feels too similar and doesn’t offer anything particularly new or refreshing.

In the end, Quake 4 turns out to be a game that really doesn’t do anything new or innovative. It just appears to much to be like previous games in the series and does
nothing to set itself apart. For Quake fans, the game is an easy buy simply due to its name. But for others, a rental should suffice.

Whether you are a fan of the classic movie or if you just love action games, King Kong is the game for you!  Anyone can appreciate the awe inspiring cinematic-like graphics that are seen in this game.  The game play itself is also hard to compare with anything else.

The story begins with you playing as Jack Driscoll from a first person perspective.  You are on the mysterious Skull Island, trying to survive and escape from horrid beasts of unimaginable size.  You later get to play as King Kong himself from a third person perspective.

The game creator, Michael Ancel, teamed up with 3 time academy award winner Peter Jackson to make this gripping game that touches you as much as the film will.  The graphics are gorgeous.  It is very much like watching the movie itself.  In fact, it is probably the best looking game so far. 

Game play is quite realistic.  As Jack, you must navigate your way through a dark and endless jungle.  You have to shoot at humongous beasts that are nearly impossible to kill with your meager weapons.  Ammunition and weapons are scarce.  You will often find yourself having to result to spears and other third world weapons because you didn’t use your ammunition sparingly.  As it is, the beasts just don’t die.  You basically shoot at them while running for your life and trying to take shelter.

Another aspect of the game is the NPCs (non playable characters).  Each NPC has its own unique abilities.  These abilities are necessary for you to proceed to the next area of the game.  There are many puzzles and areas that require the help of the NPCs.  This means that poor Jack (you) has to protect and defend them, as well as yourself.

Once you escape the terror of Skull Island, you change from Jack to the huge brute himself, King Kong.  Here you play from third person perspective.  The huge beast is unstoppable, smashing beasts and gliding effortlessly through the jungle.  It is a welcomed surprise after facing the many toils as the meek human.  You later end up in New York for the climax.  Seeing the world from both Jack’s point of view and from King Kong’s point of view is an added benefit of the game itself.

King Hong features a musical score that is different than that of the film.  However, it is one of the best and most memorable musical scores ever heard in a video game.  It also has the likeness and voices of the actors seen in the film.

King Kong truly captures the theme of man against beast.  The only downfall is that the game is rather short and the ending climax is not the greatest.  However, points leading up to the climax are unforgettable.  The great game play more than makes up for the short and uneventful ending.  There is also a second alternate ending that you can unlock…

Peter Jackson’s King Kong is available for XBOX 360, XBOX, Playstation 2, and Gamecube.  It has an ESRB rating of T for Teen.  This is because the game has blood and violence in it.
