I remember even back then how revolutionary the graphics were considered lol, boy am I probably gonna be underwhelmed in that area

While we're on topic, does the movie still hold up today?

The movie is good but its better the first half, before they go to the city. The stuff on the island is all the best parts

360, although I doubt there's much of a difference besides graphics since it's a 2005 game

Backwards compatibility on Xbox One, which is surprising

Really? I figured that would all be CGI nightmares lol

Also this game has a weird ass aiming system. Left trigger pulls up your gun instead of ADS; that is reserved for the D-pad AFTER you pull up your gun

I'm playing with no HUD like nature intended, but your characters shout "I need to reload!" when you're low, which kinds defeats the purpose lol

I remember the school nurse bought me this game when I was 13. It was a Christmas gift. I had a PS2 at the time because I was one of those people who waited for the ps3 lol.

However I did wonder what the 360 version was like back then. Not so much anymore since we are way past those graphics now.

Playing as Kong was pretty bad ass. I wonder how weird or dated the FPS segments feel now.

The graphics hold up surprisingly well. Might help that everything is upscaled to 4K but they're not as bad as I thought; I can definitely see 2005 players being excited

Shooting is a little stiff but it's serviceable, although I remember 2005 reviews saying you're really there for the Kong segments

I kinda do like the concept of being forced to choose which gun you want to bring, although I still think you should have a pistol slot

The audio cues for how much ammo you have and if you're already reloaded are nice too

Damn lol. I saw some YouTube videos of PS1 games in 4k and they look surprisingly good as well.

I don't achievement whore but I do like to get achievements in games that I know I can probably get

And yeah, only 9 achievements and I think they're all from just playing the game, that's pretty good

The original does. I don't know that Peter Jackson's version was necessary.
