The promised demo for Peter
Jackson's King Kong is now available, offering the chance to take on one
mission as Jack and the other as Kong in a sample of the upcoming monster movie
remake tie-in. Here's word from Ubisoft:
We're pleased to announce that the PC demo for the King Kong demo has now been released! The King Kong PC demo contains two levels from the game, one where you play at Jack Driscol and another where you play as the mighty Kong.
Full details and download link can be found here: http://www.kingkonggame.com/demo/
King Kong will be released on all platforms this November.
Stay tuned for information on our PS2 and Xbox demos (hopefully next week)!
Of course I played it, how could I have posted my opinion of something I haven't seen? Although, there seems to be a lot of that going on here 
FPS style? You need to play more FPS games. Shooting the trex did not make any meaningfull difference, and anyway you have too little ammo to do anything. Running up to the spears was just too simplistic. The interaction for the player was brought to an absolute minimum. Just like a movie. The only way to influence the game was to hurl a spear into the dinosaur, and it would change movement direction for a while. Is this a game? I do give them that the atmosphere of being easy pray was well conveyed, but there wasn't much you could do about it.
The kong section is laughable. It was basically press space and/or left mouse button. Sure, it looked great - two beasts figting, but you could read a book while playing this game, if you just tap the left mouse button repeatedly. Every once in a while you would press LMB near some post and the monkey would use that post to hit the dinosaur - big freaking deal.
You cannot have a game without game-play. Sorry, mashing a button does not consititute gameplay. I agree some classic plaform games do it like this, but man wake up its the 21st century. We have new classics and they do not suck as bad.
