| Summary: Not worth a buy!
49
I don't know why so many people are praising this game, its probably one for the worst buys for the PSP.
Graphics - 50
The graphics are decent, but nothing outstanding. The main problem is the environments, which are very bland. The only exceptions are in a few of the Kong levels, such as the final bit on the top of the Empire State Building. However even the first part of New York seems rather dull.
Gameplay - 60
The gameplay in the game is very simplistic. You can move around, butt (or jab) with your weapon, and shoot/throw your weapon. You can only carry one gun at a time, with no indicator of ammo other then Jack's ramblings which don't help at all. The spears are a neat idea, but after awhile the novelty wears off.
The battles are very short and easy, with very little variation in enemys. You also have no health indication, you simply die after being hit two or three times. There are a few boss encounters, but again they are rather easy. The puzzles in the game, if you can even call them that, are one of two things. Either find a lever for a gate, or light your spear on fire to burn some thorns blocking your path.
While playing as King Kong, the game is quite a lot of fun. He has two basic attacks, a grab, he can jump (at certain locations), and climb walls. There are two types of main enemies with King Kong (on the island), the T-rex and the giant centipede. These boss battles are very fun, but there are few of them. One of the funnest things with King Kong is picking things up and either throwing or hitting enemies with them.
The last bit in New York is very short, but it is a nice change from the island. Its pretty fun to run around as Kong and grab cars and smash humans, if only for a short while. Also fighting planes on the Empire State Building is sweet. While the King Kong bits are fun, there is still camera and control issues.
The load times are pretty good, thought since the levels are short its very annoying how often you have to load.
Sound - 70
This is the only part of the game I found to be above average. The game sounds fantastic, and the voice overs are great. Unfortunately there just isn't that much music here.
Lasting Appeal - 20
This is where it completely sucks. I beat the game in about two hours. TWO HOURS! There is no incentive to play again, and there is no kind of harder gameplay modes or anything. This is the main reason I would say don't buy the game, simply because you could borrow it or rent it and have it done the same day.
