The king Kong FPS was amazing on the 360
The movie tie-in yeah, I saw it for sale the other day need to go back and get it.
You don’t need to go back.
That game falls firmly into the “formative/great for its time” category.
Your memory of it is better than how you’d react to it today, I assure you.
I replayed it a month ago and still liked it.
Yeah, agreed. This is a very spicy take, but Mario Kart 64 also disappointed me after going back to it as an adult. It just… doesn’t play well compared to the newer titles, especially with how good the gameplay in 8 is. It was amazing for its time, but things have absolutely improved since then.
I read this as “Donkey Kong Inspired” for some reason and was really puzzled at the game.
If he shoots ya, it’s gonna hurt!
“yeah, I mean we could jump over the barrels like last time, or… What if Mario had a rifle?”
The gameplay looks somewhat bog standard, but I love the attention to detail and the audio design is very well made as well, it’s very immersive to say the least. The healing and weapon animations give me FarCry 2 vibes, it also has that same “tech demo” feeling with all the physics interactions, I miss that era of the 2000s when some games were very obvious tech demos for a studio’s new game engine like FarCry, Half-Life 2, Crysis, Doom 3 and so on…
It looks very pretty but something feels off.
Yeah like hey look at the glass physics…
More Kong based games? You might have to wait for us to forget.
