Rocky 1,224 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Ubisoft’s Peter Jackson’s KING KONG WINS BEST OF GC PS2 AT 2005 GAMES CONVENTION London, UK– August 30, 2005 – Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s leading video game publishers, announced that its upcoming interactive game, Peter Jackson’s King Kong was awarded the Best GC PS2 award at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. The prize was selected by a panel of six leading media specialists. More than 134,000 visitors and 280 exhibitors attended the Games Convention 2005, making it the biggest game fair in Europe. Describing the game, the jury shared why they selected the game as Best of GC PS2: “Peter Jackson’s King Kong shows how an intense game environment can be created when a game designer and movie director collaborate on a video game project. The action adventure game transports players inside the movie and allows them to see what’s possible in a video game – in contrast to movies. The world in which King Kong lives seems so real and enthralling that players will do everything they can to survive.†“This major award is especially satisfying in respect to all the hard work that is being put into making the game a worthy adaptation of the upcoming King Kong movie,†said Alain Corre, Ubisoft’s Executive Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Ubisoft’s teams have put out all stops to make sure players will undergo an unforgettable journey that will last long after they put down their controllers.†Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magnumkp 0 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 So far they haven't released any shots of King Kong himself because it's a movie tie in and don't want to spoil it, however they have released screenshots with T-Rex (not Marc Bolan) in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sup 0 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I remain impressed by this game. The HUDless aspect is great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calius 0 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Demo is now out ... its impressive graphics & sounds ... certainly "Kicks Off" .... Ran rather well on my PC I had it on best settings and it looked crisp ... T-Rex does make you panic ! LOL 3rd person view ok King Kong smacking crap out of T-Rex and swinging through jungle is rather impressive. This isnt my kind of game but it was realy good for the demo. http://www.kingkonggame.com/demo/ Edited October 7, 2005 by calius Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kurtz 4 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 This is rip off garbage beyond belief, just a piece of crap to hang on to the movie release. I have seen junk games before but this just reeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im not though & I wont see the film ... but "Its good for a demo". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magnumkp 0 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Imagine that, a movie game tie in that's rubbish, who would have thouhgt? In fact, I can't think of any decent spin off games from films that have been any good. Apart from GhostBusters II on the Spectrum. Anyone else think of one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was more or less because it reminded me of GR plus it was oh so cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
