This gives a lot of variety as to how you get away or through obstacles and adds a lot of depth to gameplay where you have to constantly search the environment. Not only that, but you can also shoot nearby flying dinosaurs in order to make the T-Rex eat them and have his attention elsewhere. During one of the levels, where you have to distract the T-Rex while your companions open a door, Jack is able to pick up a bamboo stick from behind one of the rocks and actually throw it at the T-Rex to get his attention. Jack is able to fire weapons and pick up objects in the environment for defensive purposes. Playing as Jack works a lot like a first person shooter type of game. However, details are not clear yet on whether or not you will have different single player campaigns for each character or if you only get to play as King Kong at certain spots. You can either play as Jack or as King Kong. Most games only try to use different movie based camera angles during cutscenes but King Kong will let you get a special view of yourself while jumping from a vine and falling on top of three T-rexes to save the girl.

Even during normal gameplay, you get very cinematic camera angles that add a lot of excitement to the battle sequences. Peter Jackson's influence in King Kong is also easy to spot when you look at some of the sequences in the game. It completely immerses you in the experience, especially when you have a T-Rex breathing down your neck as you sprint through the Jungle. It does become somewhat of a problem when you don't know if you're running out of ammunition or not but it does achieve the effect intended. King Kong is also innovative by doing away with displays of health and ammunition and simply gives you the environment around you in full screen. The environmental detail from bump mapping to the wet look on the rocks as the rain pours down is definitely a sight to behold. While there are multiple versions of this game coming out right around the time of the movie, the Xbox 360 version is easily the best looking one of the bunch. The look and feel of the King Kong game blew people away and definitely made it one of the gems of the show. Well the GamingExcellence team got a chance to cut through the hype and get some first impressions of this highly anticipated game at X'05 Canada. Apparently Peter Jackson himself (director of Lord of the Rings trilogy) is playing a major role not only in the new movie but in the game itself, and a lot of people are excited about the chance to play as King Kong. There is a lot of hype surrounding the new King Kong game for the Xbox 360 game console.
