Peter Jackson's King Kong for Xbox

Mind-blowing visuals highlight this creature-fest based on Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson's remake of the classic movie. Captured in the wilds of Skull Island - a land that time forgot - King Kong is brought to New York, where he wreaks havoc before meeting his end. Developed hand-in-hand with Jackson, King Kong immerses players in the world of the landmark film. Begin the game as Driscoll, held prisoner by Skull Island tribesmen.

But that's only the beginning of this first-person shooter/third-person adventure that alternates play between Driscoll and the mighty Kong.
