* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: ''Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie'' is generally thought to be one of the better licensed games out there. It helped that it was designed by famed French video game creator Creator/MichelAncel.

* PortingDisaster: The Windows version was based on the sixth-generation console releases instead of the Xbox 360 version, not to mention that it also used the infamous [=StarForce=] copy protection system. There was however an enhanced release of the game subtitled ''Gamers Edition'' which came bundled with certain graphics cards. The Gamers Edition release would later be made available for a time as the ''High-Res Edition'' on Amazon and other digital storefronts.

Moved from King Kong 2005.
Added DiffLines:
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The game has rather intense and epic music, particularly for the ''V. rex'' battles.
* CatharsisFactor: For most of the game, you'll be very aware of how fragile you are and the need to survive. So when you have the chance to turn the tables in any way, it's immensely satisfying.
** [[KillItWithFire Killing anything with fire]].
** Getting the Thompson machine gun for the first time, and turning the tables on the ''Venatosauruses''.

* DemonicSpiders: The actual arthropods in this game aren't too bad (due to their weakness to spears and low health), but the ''Venatosaurus saevidicus'' are straight examples without guns; they're fast, they can jump, and they can take quite a few spears before dying.
* GoddamnedBats: ''Terapusmordax'' are almost a literal example. Even the largest non-Queens go down fairly easily, but there are a ''lot'' of them throughout the game. The ''Venatosaurus impavidus'' also count; they go down pretty easily, but attack in groups.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment: The alternate ending where Kong is saved and returned back to his island.
* HilariousInHindsight: The first boss of the game is a GiantEnemyCrab which you must shoot in its weak point to deal massive damage, one year before ''VideoGame/GenjiDaysOfTheBlade'' popularized the meme.
* {{Narm}}: Hayes' death in the game is not by the log scene, but instead trying to save Ann from Kong - only to get trampled by a ''V. Rex'', in a moment that's got no actual sound to the stomp as he just limply flips forwards and ragdolls across the ground.

* ThatOneBoss: The ''V. rexes'' when playing as Jack. You can only kill the juveniles, and the adults are terrifyingly fast when they want to be if you don't attack them to slow them down. They're no slouches when playing as Kong either.
* ThatOneLevel: The ''Brontosaurus'' level has you following the aforementioned creatures to get fire to burn the thorn bushes blocking your means of progressing through all while being chased and attacked by Venatosauruses along with very limited ammo you are given which makes this level quite hard and scary to most. You can also be ''squashed'' by the feet of the Brontosaurus.
