Hey, James, there's a whole 20-ish minute fictional documenatary detailing the natural history of Skull Island on one of the DVD bonus disks. It explains how the walls and such came to be, as well as a bunch more stuff. It's really interesting and well-thought-out. Also, Peter Jackson claims that the Kong in the film is more than one hundred years old by the time the movie happens.

Andy Serkis is every major mocap character in this century. He's also Caesar from the new Planet of the Apes trilogy.

I beat this game and I remembered loving it. The best parts were when your where in this temple area with nothing but a stick and you're fighting off these big ass spider things and the music kicks in and there are too many of them. Hella dope.

I remember there being a demo for this on the original Xbox at a Toys R Us near me like a decade ago.

This game was pretty awesome as a kid, but I liked playing as the human way more than Kong. The camera angles for the Kong levels were awful and it got super repitive and meandering very quickly; just climb up here, fight this, climb up here, fight this, over and over again. The human levels were much more fun. I liked being able to actually control the camera, plus they were fucking scary at times, especially the ones where you're just by yourself in the jungle and you'd hear a monster roar and your body would tense up in fear, like "oh shit, what's that noise?" It was very cinematic and creepy. I hope you guys played through the stampede level and the one where you sneak into Kong's lair because those levels were about as engaging and adventurous as they possibly get in games.

Bought this one for my nephew recently for 360 since he loved the movie and game when he was young. It wasn't too bad watching him play it, though he knows it by heart that's why.

I'm suprised you guys didn't use the 360 version it looks better not a lot better but at least it's 720p better for capturing

Kind of impressed what the PS2 could do. I don’t remember it that capable with light, shadows and particle-effects.

I remember this game having an awesome soundtrack. Music that was not even on the movie but was pretty cool.

I do not think Kong eats the woman if he did the bones would be a crunched mess where as in the movie the bones of the woman are is perfect shape. He does treat woman the same but being his size with out understanding of the human body they all die in time.

Same with Bully, why don't you play the Superior Xbox 360 version?

Kong Skull Island scared the bejeezus out of me. The guy carried off by the pterodactyls is one of the sorriest I've ever felt for a fictional character.
