wow, thats alot of fun. VERY VERY basic, but good fun nonetheless.
playing as kong and climbing a wall and jumping off a-la Gollum in the two towers is quite entertaining and then ripping a t/rexs head in two or using a raptor to 'open' a door.
playing as jack was fun too, running away from the trex was fun and i quite liked the swimming animations.
i didnt find the 'kick raptor in the head' button yet...

Well there's jumping, swinging and stuff but its all automatic with no skill needed except to press the button. The combat may be better with a gamepad (i'm using keyboard) but button mashing gave me easy victory!
I really liked the fps section tho, but its such a short demo.

Great. Constantly spins to the left, so it's unplayable. Oh well.
The good:
1. Highly cinematic, beautiful graphics and sound.
2. You can almost feel the hits that Kong doles out, pretty awesome.
The bad:
1. Framerate and sensitivity are weird on this one--the sensitivity is all over the place, with ~5 notches being too slow and the next notch up way too fast.
2. Clipping...jesus christ, the clipping.
3. Holding space to "arm" yourself. Don't care if you can change it, binding the space bar to a non-toggle arm/disarm key is pretty damn stupid.
4. The human part is fairly poor, reminds me of BG&E in a way--not good at all.
5. The Kong fighting segment is awkard due to a poor camera that jumps all over the place.
6. You can actually click the button too fast to get a fatality. I know, I've done it more than once.
The ugly:
1. Starforce
2. It blocks screenshots, both with printscreen and third party applications.
The lowdown:
Great for the cinematic feel, bad for everything else.
Can Michel Ancel lead a game that doesn't fucking suck? Christ.

Controls are crap. Graphics are crap. Animation is pretty good. Still crap.

Other than the PS2 dig (which is what you're keying into him for), he's not too far from the truth. Cinematically this game is top notch--and I'll be damned if I didn't go apeshit (rimshot) over the sheer force that Kong's punches exude when fighting the T-Rex...but it's pretty middling overall. If this is indicative of the final product, I can't imagine any publication giving it over a 6 with a clear conscience.
