I was quite unimpressed with the lack of a HUD. If I wanted to watch a movie, I'd watch a movie.

Count me with Jaffe, games shouldn't pretend to be movies in an attempt to improve quality.

"King Kong: The Official Sequel to Peter Jacksons King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie"


I'd love to see a greater percentage of time, if not the entire game played AS Kong. To me, those sequences were the best in the game. They could fine-tune Kong's combat system & his mobility/agility moves. Climbing all over skull island would be fun.

Make the whole of Skull Island explorable. Kong has freedom to roam the island as he pleases, beating down centipedes and snapping the jaws of T-Rexes like nothing. Kong rules this jungle!! Reign over it as you please!

While I am a fan of Beyond Good & Evil, I was disappointed with King Kong. While fun at first, the game quickly became very repetitive. The basic formula for each area became: kill all enemies, find fire to burn brush, find handle, open door, repeat. The Kong missions were fun, but I wouldn't want a whole game of just that.

So basically I would look into trying the sequel if they made the game less repetitive. But maybe I'll rent it before buying this time.

i would make the game not about mindless finding of sticks to put in posts to open gates.

I haven't played King Kong, but I thought the lack of a HUD on the demo of Fight Night, Round 3 was great. Still, why be absolute about it? Seems like developers could let gamers toggle the HUD with a click of a thumbstick or the back button or switch it in the game's options menu.

I thought the first game was great. That said, I would like it if the lip-synching actually entered the realm of matching. I'd also like the game to be about 3 times as long as the first, with tougher puzzles and puzzles that involved something other than sticks and fire. I loved the lack of a HUD. Definitely keep it that way (and do the same for all shooters)!

King Kong sequel? Oh no! How the heck is Beyond Good & Evil 2 ever going to get off the ground if Ancel's busy with a Kong sequel?

Bah! King Kong at least had a conclusive ending, I need closure on the BG&E cliffhanger.

You guys already said it best, Kong versus Godzilla. The sequel can be a button mashing fighter, and if you beat it with all the kongs and rexes and zillas you unlock a secret character, Mrs. Spartan. And to me, there's nothing more intimidating that a 7 ft woman wearing half a ton of body armor, having her period.

I just had the best idea ever for King Kong 2. So... Scientists in the 1930's freeze some of dead kongs tissue... in a big block of ice... and then IN THE FUTURE.... THEY CLONE A HUGE ARMY OF KONGS!!!!!! WHEEE!!!
Okay.. I'd like to thank the Academy.....

I just hope that they pay careful attention to their schedules, otherwise Ancel and his team won't have enough time to make Peter Jackson's Halo: the Official Game of the Movie.

The idea of a sequel to the game would make sense, seeming as Peter Jackson is already in the process of filming 2 more Kong movies, including the Son Of Kong, for those of you who did not know that. Both which are set to be released this year: one in june followed by another in december! Peter Jackson's The Son Of Kong: The Official Game of the Movie!!

I can't quite locate the interview, but Ancel has already said that his next game will certainly be a new, original one.

In the sequal of the King Kong game (which I think would be a brillant idea.) I'm hopping there would be free roaming.
In other words, you can play as both Kong or Jack at Skull Island and (or) New York City without timing and objectives. Also, could Kong grab things like dinos or humans and would have a choice of throwing them or bitting them?
Last but not least, remember at the last level in the game when your Kong is in the big city??? BORING!!! It was not the way I thought it would be. So in the sequal, could you improve that level a little. Also As Kong, can you see yourself climbing the empire state building and when Kong is fighting those planes, can he knock the antena instead of hanging onto it and stand at the tip of the building like he did in the movie. Also it would be really neat if you have a bonus mission that you can be one of those planes that shot Kong, Or make an alternave ending like at the old game.
Thank you for your time.

I REALLY enjoy the atmosphere of the game- Exploring the island, the water/waves effects, sounds of the wind and island in general, the dinosuars. I really enjoy this! I hope there will be a second edition to King Kong. I will buy it!

If they do make a second game, there should be a different party of people, who do a dare to go to Skull Island. They go on a different ship. They get onto the island, and find a shortcut to the log where Jack and the crew fell off. They fall of the log on purpose, and you land in the insect pit. You should have to fight the insects and the Carnictus's before they eat you and your friends, and you have to fight the people with Kong. That would be cool!

And they should do a sequel to the movie like the 1978 King Kong, 'King Kong's Alive!'.

Well if they make a sequel they should give you the ability to fight Godzilla that's if they even feel like getting the rights from Toho.
