Sure, King Kong wasn't absolutely downright terrible in cinemas, but it was nothing to write home about either, merely ticking the boxes of a Kong flick in a manner similar to if you asked a child to recant the major parts of the plot. For the game though, you played out many of the spectacles from the film in a very visceral first-person view, taking potshots at all manner of enemies and indulging in a generally pretty thrilling island adventure - as well as playing as Kong himself a few times for good measure. Going far deeper than the movie into Skull Island, the sky-high production values actually required you to rely on the game's exquisite sound design to tell when you were out of ammo or about to be set-upon by an enemy - a really neat touch that's actually not been implemented elsewhere. A 360 launch title was a pretty unlikely place to find one of the best movie tie-ins of all time, but Kong excelled in expanding on all the best parts of the movie that were previously thrown to the wayside.
