Whilst playing as Jack, however, the game still manages to divert from the traditional first person shooter archetype most games follow by making ammunition for automatic weapons such as guns sparse and scattered far away, meaning the player must to learn to use bones, torches and sharpened sticks to fend off dinosaurs, giant bugs and other ghastly creatures. Whilst most of the game is played through the first person perspective of Jack Driscoll, in the form of a first person shooter, the player also occasionally will switch to the role of the titular ape, King Kong, and with it to a third-person beat-em-up / platforming gameplay. Gameplay The game doesn't include a heads-up-display.Īlthough games in which the player takes control of multiple characters are not exactly rare, King Kong takes this to in the unusual direction of changing the style of gameplay dramatically. It is part first-person shooter with players taking upon the role of the character Jack, and part third-person beat-em up as players play as Kong. King Kong is the video-game adaptation of Peter Jackson's 2005 remake of the classic monster movie King Kong.
