Peter Jackson's King Kong follows scriptwriter Jack Driscoll as he accompanies director Carl Dernham to Skull Island for a movie shoot. However, primeval creatures await them, including giant insects, dinosaurs, and King Kong . The game is based on the 2005 remake of the classic film.
The gameplay consists of two main types of levels: first-person shooter (FPS) levels set on Skull Island, where Jack must use his wits and weapons to survive; and third-person brawling levels in New York City, where King Kong must navigate obstacles and fight off enemies.
The PSP version of the game is shorter than the console and PC releases, with some content cut out.
