Universal King Kong 2005 is like a part of my 10 year old mind . Now that im 26 I can still feel my inner childhood. And when they released the game I was so obsessed with wanting to play it and I felt like wow im really doing it . The island level and facing the dinosaurs was so fun to play

This game was my childhood. Took me like half a year or even more to complete it, even got help from my father, uncle, and friends to get through some parts I couldn’t get through myself. New games like elden ring are surely an epic experience, but they don’t feel as special as this game.

it's very obvious that Peter Jackson was more interested in making the game version than the movie. I would definitely love to see him direct a video game again. This game truly wasn't supposed to be this great; it is one of the hidden gems in the 2000s.

It was his chance to show more of his vision of Skull Island through a personal perspective. I'd imagine that was one of the more exciting parts of being able to remake King Kong.

This game impacted me so much as a kid, and I probably will play through it again! The interesting angle on UI for immersiveness, the variety of combat options, and the differences in feeling when playing both human characters and Kong. So amazing. I like hearing details from developers and Mr. Jackson. I recently delved into game development, and I found a lot of inspiration from Peter Jackson's King Kong. It is especially interesting as my current game project also is set in a rainforest area.

1. I've played a lot of video games in my 28 years, but this was my favorite childhood video games. Even more than the first Sly Cooper. 2. Probably spent more hours on this than any other game. It's such a straightforward game, but the action is so intense you just can't help but want to play it multiple times. 3. For a game that came out 18 years ago, the graphics still looks good, imo. & 4. Out of all the creatures in this game, the Scorpio-pedes scared the FUG outta me. Until I saw the baby from RE: Village, I've NEVER seen anything as scary as that in a video game

Guys I'm having an issue with the Gamers Edition of this game (PC). When I reach The Skull Islanders level, right at the end of the level, Kong cannot lift the pillar to further progress into the game. When I attempt to do it, the game instantly freezes and I cannot debug it. It's only that particular pillar. The rest of them in the game work just fine. Any solutions, please?

It's such a shame that more passion was devoted to the development of the game than the movie. All the creatures and environments are better in the game, and the soundtrack is haunting and otherworldly. We get to spend much more time on the island, which has a totally different atmosphere in the game. The place is downright spooky. It's clear that the best creative efforts were invested in the game and not the movie.

Peter Jackson's _King Kong_ is the biggest cinematic disappointment I've ever experienced. It made me question not only the competence of an esteemed director, but also an entire creative industry. If there's one production I wish I could have personally had creative control over, it would be PJ's King Kong. I was so excited when I saw the trailer for the first time. It gave me false hope for what to expect, as had the video game, which was released a month before the film. It was the best game I'd ever played, a distinction it holds to this day. I didn't see the film during its theatrical run, because I just couldn't sit through something that long. I waited until the DVD release, and when I did finally see it, I was aghast. Jackson had let us all down and squandered his once in a lifetime opportunity. To get the obvious out of the way, the film is horrendously bloated, clocking in at an excruciating three hours. Jackson wastes most of this time on unnecessary backstories and gratuitous exposition, yet somehow achieves remarkably little in the way of character development. His childhood obsession with the original classic had made him incapable of exercising any restraint. He had accumulated far more ideas than he knew what to do with, so he chose to just cram in as much as possible. The result is a poorly written, poorly paced, miscast monstrosity. It has an inconsistent feel to it, never entirely sure what it wants to be. It's camp and kitschy in a self-aware sort of way, with seemingly endless references to the 1933 setting, yet the attempts at humour still fall flat. The dialogue varies from bland to cringeworthy, and the actors don't seem particularly invested in their characters. Jack Black delivers his typical manic performance, being overly dramatic and overly comedic at all the wrong moments. I assumed that Adrien Brody must have wandered onto the wrong set, since he barely does anything. If they replaced him with a plank of wood, it really wouldn't impact the film much. The only exception among these cardboard cutouts is our leading lady, Naomi Watts, who does the best she can with what little she has to work with. The rest of the cast are simply stock characters who are never fleshed out enough for us to care about them, which may be just as well, since they're nothing more than fodder for Jackson's menagerie of monsters. While it's evident that a great deal of effort was invested in crafting the world of Kong, the computer graphics are a mixed bag. Some shots are so good you'd swear they were real, while others look like they didn't finish rendering. The laws of physics are temporarily suspended during the comically overblown action sequences, at which point the cinematography becomes so frenetic and disorienting that viewers prone to nausea are advised to have a bucket handy. The cherry on top of this half-baked mess is a derivative and mediocre score by James Newton Howard, who throws in so many cheesy 1930s motifs that it almost feels like self-parody. Aesthetically, there was something about Skull Island which didn't look right, but I couldn't articulate what it was. I have since come to realise that Jackson's remake had been an early casualty of the incorrigible colour grading insanity that has plagued Hollywood over the last decade and a half. In the trailer, Kong and all the creatures are much better integrated into the live action environment, because the trailer footage had not yet been tampered with by the colourists. It is clear, looking at the conceptual art, that Jackson was trying to emulate the multi-layered style pioneered by illustrator and engraver Gustave Doré in the 19th century. His technique used intricate shading in the foreground, a lighter midground, and a bright background to create an almost three-dimensional sense of depth. Watching the completed film, I was extremely dismayed to see the emerald hues of the jungle had been replaced with a sickly yellow tint. The brightness had also been increased significantly, most notably during Kong's battle with the three carnosaurs. The scene was so obscenely drenched in sunlight, it had no atmosphere. I was also annoyed by some bizarre choices made by the set designers. Instead of grass, there is an abundance of ferns, moss and leaflitter, giving the jungle a very temperate, autumnal feel. This is most noticeable during the log bridge scene. It isn't entirely clear why the film didn't remain faithful to the spooky concept art produced by Weta, which was used extensively in the video game. No wonder the film and the game feel like two different worlds. This is very ironic, considering it was Jackson's expressed desire that the environments in the film and those in the game “should feel like they come from the same universe.” Jackson and his team at Weta Workshop did an outstanding job on creating the expanded world of Kong. _Skull Island: A Natural History_ is a book released as a companion to the film, a collection of artwork and creature designs produced by Weta, the vast majority of which was never used, despite the film's ridiculous runtime. I bought a copy when it was originally released and still have it in mint condition. I paid somewhere between £30 to £45 for it, but I understand that copies are selling for at least three times that amount these days. The book fleshes out the fictionalised flora and fauna of the island, and explains how the ecosystem is disintegrating. Speculative evolution is a fascinating subject, and it's clear that Jackson's team jumped headfirst into this project with a great deal of enthusiasm, which makes the end result all the more lamentable. All these years later and I'm still appalled at how Jackson bungled his dream project. The game really is everything the movie should have been. It's evident that much more passion was invested in the development of the game, which “plays it straight” in a way that the movie doesn't. It has a gravitas which is sorely lacking in the film, and a palpable sense of the tragic. Kong is more monstrous and fearsome, and the affection between Kong and Ann, which I felt was overly sentimental in the film, is a little more ambiguous here, though Kong remains a sympathetic character for the most part. We spend much more time on the island, which is faithful to the film's concept art and looks very foreboding. The outstanding soundtrack by Chance Thomas is haunting and ethereal, but is also adventurous, heroic, and sentimental when it needs to be. A highly stylised approach to storytelling, innovative game mechanics and outstanding production design are blended seamlessly to create an utterly exhilarating adventure. Michel Ancel and his team at Ubisoft collaborated closely with Weta during the production, and in the end it was the game, not the movie, which was the real success. I only ever played the PS2 version, since it was an early release on the Xbox 360 and debuted on that platform with character and creature models that look terrible compared to the PS2.
