King Kong (Xbox 360)

I'll be honest, a while ago I pinched a PS2 demo of King Kong from the recent MCM eXpo in London. I left it to gather dust until just the other day, when I got bored of Hyper Street Fighter II for the day.

I guess the reason I left it alone was because I had the common idea that movie tie-in = s**te. Playing the PS2 demo though was quite fun, and although I could never get used to PS2 first person shooters (the controller just never works for me on an FPS level), I did enjoy it. Which came as a surprise to me.

Best movie tie-in? Not likely, I'm sure there are plenty of rare games that are excellent that I can't remember off-hand (and surely nothing can match Die Hard Arcade in that regard), but it certainly is an enjoyable surprise. Good review.

Well, Die Hard Trilogy on PS1 was pretty damn good, with each episode handled in a different genre, and each a very accomplished game on its own.

It would be rude not to mention the Batman movie tie-in, which was a great platform/dirving/puzzle game and, as with Kong, broke the "movie licence=s**t game" mold

chronicles of riddick ring any bells? far and away the best game of a movie EVAR! specially since the movie ended up ratehr sub par.
