I could barely play this game as a kid, scared the hell out of me constantly
This game is responsible for my fear of centipedes that I have to this day
Same bro😂 did end up finishing it twice though with many pause breaks to change my shit filled pants
iamnotafeline I’ve never related so much to a comment
I tell people this is one of the most genuinely terrifying experiences of my life and they look at me like I missed a dose
@@kenbee1957 I was only 11 years old when I got the game I wasn't mentally ready enough to handle 1st pov fighting giant centipedes and t-rexs with a sharpened piece of wood
This game is criminally underrated, even criminally under reviewed, theres barely any videos on it despite it being a unicorn of a movie game being both ambitious and actually good
change.org/KingKongGameRemaster Let's give this masterpiece the remaster it deserves
@Josh derp I played it and liked it. It was certainly nothing incredible, but I got the collectors edition for about $5 and actually had fun. The Kong sections may be bad, but the shooting was really nice.
@Josh derp It just depends on the person. I loved this game
imo witcher 3 is the most criminally underrated, even criminally under reviewed game. le hidden gem fer sure

Everything about this game made it one of my favorite childhood games of all time
this game was magical and terrifying when i was younger. great memories.
The perfect words I felt the same way
Dude the fucking giant hissing centipedes used to terrify me, especially when they'd just appear out of nowhere lol
@@bathumb45 I could never get passed that, had to have my older cousin to play past that damm thing. Good times
I would wait for my cousin to come over before I would play it, never had the guts to play alone😂 but such a great game.
This is a perfect example of a game that needs a remake
If this game got remade that would be AMAZING
Yea it does need one
@@deepprakash1996 yea cause your 12
Couldnt have said it better
@@deepprakash1996 I'm pretty sure you're 12 just based on your reply lmao.
Whos still remember how real that shit looked when 360 first launched
I didn't even know it came out the 360 for awhile I had in on ps2
Remember seeing it displayed in Best Buy and being mind blown 🤣
i remember seeing it at the mall inside of a macy's and that shit didn't even look possible, like everything was so fluid
This game scared the crap out of me when I was little😂
I remember that I was blown away by it!
When I was a kid the levels in this game were so fucking intense. Never knew fighting dinosaurs could be so scary
The level To Save Anne used to demolish me. It was so tense and I love/hated every second of it.
I'm gonna be honest with you, I've always thought that fighting a goddamn t-rex would be kinda frightening.
I bought this last weekend at a retro game store and it still is even when you first meet the V Rex I didn't even expect the roar to make my vision blurry or even for the V Rex to break some cover.
@@dasspanienabwehr4906 are u enjoying it? i never got past the mission with the bats, never got to play kong. was too scared as a kid, and my mums boyfriend got mad and snapped the game in half, looking into wither its worth buying again or not.
this was the first xbox 360 game i ever played. I remember thinking the graphics were so realistic it felt immersive like i was actually in the game getting chased by the t rex
It was on the 360 really damn I played it on the original Xbox damn good memories
I played this on ps2 lol
@@nickbischoff5859 same.
@@nickbischoff5859 Same. Scared the living crap out of me at the time. The T-Rexs were so crazy.
The graphics are still pretty good
Its so wierd realizing other people liked this game as much as young me did!
Same I loved this
I loved but i still hate Every bugs i see
Agreed. I've beaten this game so many times
it was far ahead of its time ; ) never played a game after that, that gave me the same feeling
YES. It made me terrified of centipedes tho
I remember playing this when I was a kid scared the living shit out of me such an immersive fps. Every level I absolutely dreaded and that first run in with the V-Rex when playing as Jack is the most intense, heart racing moment of my gaming career.
i had bad dreams of this when i was younger;-;
Same for me.. Im scared of centipedes and the dino
FRRRR I REMEMBER BEING SO SCARED PLAYING THIS AND JUST HIDING WHEN THE MONSTERS CAME
You perfectly discribed the feeling of this game. The most scary non survival horror game I ever played
the part near the beginning where you first run in the jungle and there’s a bunch of raptors in the abandoned village 😖
Playing as Kong was such a sick experience.
Ikr I wanted to play as him the whole time
Cracking jaws and taking names
@@CodayaTheSlaya dude I remember King kong cracking the TRex jaws when I was a kid, was one of the greattest moments I remember of this game lol
@@Naruto534ful top gaming moments in childhood for me also

This is the game that we need a remake on next gen console
please make a remake of this
YES YES YES
This is pretty much what Jurassic Park: Trespasser wanted to be
lol.
Just be thankful that you don't need to aim your arm and spear with an analog stick.
It's also strangely what games like Resident Evil 7 and Alien Isolation feel most similar to control wise.

6:28 You brought up a really good point here, looking back this might be the only game where as a kid I completely preferred having the AI with me. These days any time a game sticks an AI with my, I'm just like "Oh great, now it's time to babysit."
"This gaem makes you FEEL like monke" IGN 2005
The nostalgia my guy, I remember replaying Kong's missions over & over again in this, whilst not being able to complete some of Jack's missions, especially trying to open that gate while a V-Rex is trying to chomp you down.
Why the hell did you drag me out of school to pick up ingredients for you in diagon alley while you sat in the pub drinking???!! You made me pay with my own money too!! Do you have any idea what a pain in the arse gringotts is? It was my first year of school! I just wanted to learn! You bastard!
Yeah I dunno what minimme is saying those Kong sections rocked. Like, I'm sorry, did he miss the part where you get to break T-rex jaws with your bare hands?!
@@Antiformed I know right! I played the game so many times that the Kong sections were like a short treat!
Shii dude I remember that section where the gate needed time to open and you had to try and evade the big T-rex. That shit scared the hell out of me as a kid.
Strange I always felt the opposite the kong sections while cool the jack game play felt more engaging and interesting
I remember my dad got this for me on the ps2 because we saw the movie together and both loved it this was definitely a nostalgia trip I needed since my dad died last month thanks for the good memory trip
Sorry man :( hope you doing well.
Sorry for your loss. May your dad r.i.p.
I'm glad you have incredible memories like that. Your dad lives on in those moments c:
Thank you everyone and yes he found peace he had cancer in 3 organs but beat his given death date by several
months he was a warrior and never quit up until the very end but he’s no longer in pain which I need to remember and focus on but again thank you everyone for your kind words.
Sorry dude, may your dad rest in peace
I played the ever living fuck out of this game when I was young. I've beat it countless times. About 3 years ago I rebuilt an old PS2 I got at a yardsale. I had probably over 40 games I've held onto over the years, and this was the first I played. Beat it that same night with my 2 best friends who also share my love for this game. We were like kids again. Idk how to explain, but this game holds a special place in my heart that no other game has since. The second the first crab came out of the ocean while you're trying to get that gate open still gave me goosebumps. This game terrified me as a kid! The countless hours I spent searching for fire to burn the bushes down, because I was too scared to walk through them. No matter how many times I beat this game my adrenaline would start pumping in every single firefight. The unpredictable AI kept you on your toes. I can still hear the creepy music that played every single time someone was screaming for your help when they got downed. I remember bashing the hell out of my triangle button pounding Kong's chest, and beating the shit out of anything that moved. Great fucking game. I'm sure a ton of it is just nostalgia, (I mean, look at the way I'm talking about it 🤣) but it's still a great game regardless. No online connection. No multilayer. It didn't need it IMO. It was just a shit load of fun. Great! Now I gotta find a way to play this game again 😂
where u from?
@@badsiknius4862 georgia
@@badsiknius4862 why are you gay
Amen, BERSERK. I've played a lot of video games too in my 26 years, but this was my favorite childhood video games. Even more than the first Sly Cooper. Probably spent more hours on this than any other game. It's such a straightforward game, but the action is so intense you just can't help but want to play it multiple times. The worst part about this game (by that, I mean the most terrifying) were the solo missions. Also, out of all the creatures in this game, the scorpion-looking things scared the living shit outta me. 15 years later and I STILL actually have nightmares about them. X,D
@@Razsor97 I still remember reaching my first solo mission and looking for my team mates
I remember when I was a kid, and a friend of the family helped install our first PC, and it came with a CD of this game. The dude just installed and started up the game for fun, and called me over, to sit in the chair. It was not only our first home computer, but also my first ever videogame experience, so I had nooo idea what to expect. I recall sitting in that boat in the intro sequence, looking around with the mouse, mouth wide open. I asked with confusion: "Wait, is this a game or a movie?" Dude just replys "Both." with a chuckle.
So eventually I got to the crabs, and I was scared shitless. Somehow I made my way through, heart racing like I was in real danger. Then came the giant crab, and my heart just sank. I had spent all of my ammo on the little guys, not knowing I could run out, and I didn't get that I could use the bones as spears, so I was helpless. As the big fucker comes at me, roaring and limbs outstretched, I just screamed and bolted away from the screen, locking myself in the bathroom. I didn't even know that esc pauses the game.
So yeah, it was absolutely magical.
I had a similar first experience with this game. One of my dads friends brought over the original Xbox version the week it released. I ran out of ammo at the small crabs and just handed the controller to my dad when the big one showed up. I spent the rest of the night playing Blinx lol.
I'd love to see a remake of this game, with all that we can achieve this day and age. Imagine lush jungles, path traced lighting, and almost every vine and rope physically swinging in the wind. This game would probably blow us away like it did in 2006. And Maybe they'll cut out all of the King Kong parts and replace them.
The graphics on the original xbox version was diadolical, but the Xbox 360 version was amazing for its time.
@@garypart393 yeah I remember the ps2 version looking terrible even at the time
And idk if it was cause I was more easily scared as a kid, but there was this level that took place in a big valley and you had to watch out for velociraptors. One came at me from behind and i've never been so shook in my life lol
Lol I remember as a kid I would always be letting the bats kill Kong.
Centipedes in HD...
He's becoming better with photoshop. It's indistinguishable from reality.
Which makes it more uncanny.

what are you talking about?
I thought it was emma Watson for fuck sake
I cant believe this masterpiece was made by ubisoft lmaoo
Wait...it was??????
🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️
Snappy Boi right hahaha
Ubisoft hasn't always been a bad word. They used to pump out gems like there was no tomorrow. Once developers realize people buy shit games and ignore cash grab dlc and other micro transactions , look at GTA V for example, Rockstar has milked that game for nearly a decade now with still no clear end in sight. RDR2 storymode is something of an exception to the rule of multiplayer games these days but RDO fits right in. Another argument is that multiplayer at the scale it's at now ruined the future for games like these as well.
look up beyond good & evil. The old days of gaming are dead it seems, where people valued story, immersion, and games that didn't have to rely on lazy multiplayer replayability.
@@fablefan69 Every single AAA game (hate that term) coming out these days are controlled by business men who have never played a video game in their life. All they see is money to be made. They don't care about the product, they just see what's trending at the moment and try to copy it instead of creating something new.
I despise the direction gaming is taking. Why is a AAA game with hundreds of millions of dollars in budget filled with bugs, glitches and server issues at release? Because despite having that big of a budget, the huge video game companies are trying to spend as little money as possible on servers and game testing, but for some reason there are never any problems with buying microtransactions. They don't care about what they're creating or the satisfaction of the players, as long as the initial sales are high enough to make back then money and then some. Some developers even threaten gaming sites to not release a review of a game before or on the release date, not until a week later. I'm sure this is a trend that will grow.
Some of the most memorable deaths in gaming include Ghost, Aerith, Eli Vance, and of course Hayes from this game. His death was *almost* as bad as Ghost's was, since there was so much character development. Whenever you get split up with Hayes, it makes the game that much more lonely. R.I.P Hayes, fly high brother :(
damn dude, the sounds of the raptors still makes my heart pump 15 years later, I remember staying up late to play this game for the hundreth time or so and hearing that noise and not knowing where its coming from, I still love this game although its been a while since I've seen it
The centipedes still haunt me to this day.
The raptors just come from nowhere too, and the mini ones charging out of the tall grass jumped me a few times as a kid
I'm glad someone else had that reaction, the raptors always scared me.
I used to get jumped so bad by them during the level where you run under the stampede. I would throw my controller after turning around right as it attacked me lol
Saving Kong in the Alternative ending by flying a plane and killing multiple other people in their planes is pretty hype.
Played the PS2 version years ago and loved it to death. May have to break it out and try it again sometime.
Oh yeah and "TWO MAGAZINE ON BACK UP!"
Wait what? There was an alternative ending?!
Wescudi right wtf? also "With mE jAck!!"
I could never beat the alternative ending! 😭 Also there was a bonus "extra" only accessible if you went online but the website's since shut down and I never unlocked it :(
This game was so good. One of the few movie based games that was actually spectacular
I remember playing this game back in 2005, back in the day a friend of mine from elementary school had the Nintendo DS version, he lent it to me for a weekend just so I could check it out and it was truly amazing, sadly my friend died from a car accident, that game will always have a special place in my heart.
Aww I'm sorry :(
how
Thats tragic
Pretty incredible that Peter Jackson even knew about Beyond Good and Evil, let alone had played and enjoyed it, considering how poorly that game sold. Like of all the people who got to play an obscure 6th-gen adventure game, one of them was... the most recognizable Hollywood directors in history lmao
Maybe that was the problem, the market they shot for was too small.
sad that Mortal Engines was a flop, if it was successful then we would had another great game from Peter Jackson
I remember full page spreads about the game in gaming mags. It didnt sell that well but i think people knew about it if you kept up to date with games

I remember playing this game over and over. Somehow made the "cinematic game" thing work.
King Kong movie is also great. Every detail is fantastic and the action is unbelievable. It's also incredibly scored and visually poetic. Just pure fun cinema like in the old times.
I still have PTSD flashbacks of Jack Black screaming "JACK!" So many times in a level
I only watched my friend play this and I have those night terrors
The way ann screamed "KONG" was chilling! The music for this game was epic.
I’ve played loads of horror games and this obscure little gem is still the scariest game I’ve ever played
I think it's only second to Eternal Darkness, and that's only because that game legit made you think you were insane sometimes (ah the old DELETING SAVE DATA.... DON'T TURN OFF THE CONSOLE low sanity gig still gets me to this day).
I know i’m a year late but yes I agree it was scary especially the first t rex encounter!!!
Man its so nice to see that i wasn't the only one playing this masterpiece, so many people disagreed with me on this game. Playing as Jack was my favorite, especially when you run into the first V-Rex........most stressful moment ive ever played in any videogame
Luis Gutiérrez Hernández that too honestly lol
6:42 this level scared the shit out of me as a kid... I could never get past it..
Dude me too😂
Dude I stopped playing this game for months cause I was so scared to even run down the canyon 😂
I can remember the scene where you finally leave Skull island and the plane is slowly flying away from it. I don't know why but it was one of the strangest feelings I've had from a game where I was so happy to finally leave the depths of hell from the horrifying encounters I faced , but also a feeling of sadness that the long and never ending journey had finally come to an end.
Takes me back to the days of ps2 movie games like 007, Scarface The World Is Yours and The Warriors
Scarface was awesome
My cousin is so obsessed with scarface, he bought a sealed copy of the ps2 scarface game for $150 on offerup lol.
Scarface was a hidden gem, anyone played the godfather games?
Spider-Man 2 being the best of them.
@@mikeoxlong567 yessss, the godfather was sick
As a younger brother, I'd often find myself staying up late into the night and exploring Skull Island while my brother manned the controller. This game had an amazing atmosphere to it and it enthralled us completely
I love the art direction of this game. The atmosphere was like all of the best parts of the movie - exciting and terrifying. Brings back the best memories from childhood
This game used to scare the SHIT outta me when I was a kid, I recently purchased it again on xbox to relive some nostalgia, and it's safe to say that it still does terrify me to this day. It's honestly so scary when you're walking around this island and you turn the camera to see a huge dinosaur bounding towards you or pretty much in your face, much like a jump scare. Not many games have made me physically jump out my skin, but this one still holds up! 😅
This game can’t out in 2005 and still looks better than fallout 76
Even Halo combat evolved is better than Fallout 76.
hey a lot of people like it now, it's not AS bad as it was.
tho it still isn't great
As a game yes but graphics wise no (its less appealing not just worse technology) if there is one thing 76 does right it graphics
I agree
It’s more advanced graphics but still looks mutch worst than games from 2005
Dang, this was so much fun way back in the day. Spamming "x bullets on backup" "ONLY 1 BULLET ON BACKUP!" non-stop for hours. Good times.
I loved this game!!!
6:50 Scariest mission in the whole game getting chased by those dudes o.o
I fucking hated this mission as a kid.
I barely could finish that on as I often had to just pause and stop playing out of fear as an 7-8 year old hahaha
Yup you really felt the fear of them behind you
That mission was the second scariest, the scariest mission for me is when you meet the T-rex for the second time and you have to distract it to allow Ann to escape :(

this is one of my first video games i’ve ever played, and genuinely this is top 5 favorites. it’s affected me so much
I actually played this "back in the day" and i really enjoyed it. It was fun.
I definitely remember being prepared to laugh at a shitty movie-game conversion, and actually being blown away and going home to buy my own copy immediately and try and beat it before he did.
5:57 one of my nightmares as a child right there. That THING attacking while in high waters and you have nothing but a broken wooden spear. My first/best screams
That scared the shit outta me 2
yes i remember that as a kid
Whose here after seeing the atrocity of skull isind rise of kong? 😂
I’ve played plenty of games that are supposed to be scary but this game tops all over them, absolutely terrifying running away from a Dino with that adrenaline pumping music playing
This game was truly incredible for the time, in terms of immersion and attention to detail. It blew my mind playing it back on the PS2, which is still my favorite way of playing it.
Everytime I heard, "Oh my god, it completely tore Lumpy apart." I'd look down and try to find his body, it was never there... What was Hayes looking at?
Nothing, he saw Lumpy get eaten and was shocked and speechless at the brutality. Then he turns to Denham and asks if he's had enough of the island yet.
I’m glad i wasn’t the only one looking down there
@@dryocampa I don't know if that was better or worse than his fate in the movie
Looking at all those spent magazines
What i want to know is what happened to Preston after that scene. Jimmy said he died but how could he have known? He fell down into the cavern and was seperated from Preston.
Wow, I remember playing this game when it first came out. I was blown away by the graphics/realism. It was one of my favorite games for that period. Forgot it existed. The graphics did not hold up to my memory lol.
This game was so ahead of its time, I remember playing it when I was in 1st grade after my dad rented it, I was so sad that I had to return it and none of the other stores had it in stock. Now that it’s backwards compatible with the Xbox one I’m gonna buy it and relive my childhood :)
Unfortunately it's not available to buy digitally, you have to pop in a disc to install it onto the drive (a bummer for series s users).
Remember playing this when I was really young. Was that perfect balance of creepy and exciting. So many memorable lines and moments too. Definitely a lot more atmospheric when playing on an old school television or with sub par video quality. When this game is in HD it loses its charm a little.
"its okay, I've got enough magazines" followed by "TWO MAGAZINES ON BACKUP!"
I remember getting this game for my 12 year birthday when it came out. Absolutely amazing game! I still play it time to time
change.org/KingKongGameRemaster Please sign the petition. THIS GAME NEEDS A REMASTER
I also got this game on my 12th birthday lol like a week after it came out, I was so excited for it. Loved this game and the movie so much. I want like a spiritual successor to this game where your on skull island back in the day or something
Throw back to the time where I’d go to my friends house every Friday with my king kong disc and we would play for hours
i remember playing this game as a kid and it scaring the absolute life outta me. Just remember hiding in a little cave room, throwing many bones for spears getting ready to charge for a bigger spear.
I remember when I was young and being scared shitless when you had to sneak through some species of dinosaur
Fr man but the centipede man that is the stuff of nightmares
It was cool watching those creepy things fighting each other.
For me it was the centipedes and the crabs. Especially in those water sections you could barely defend yourself.
There were three terrifying levels for me: 'Scorpions', 'The Canyon' and 'Millipedes'
lucas morandini dude
Don’t forget The water lizards... those things are both scary and annoying
You know a game that no one talks about that you should review? Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure. It was developed by Neversoft and it's basically Tony Hawk but with Disney characters. It has also the worst product placements I've seen in a videogame.
Loved that game, they even made a second one.
I'd recommend checking out radrats' video on that if you haven't. The bit where you have to deliver mcnuggets to people is fucking hilarious
I played that on the Ps2
Another game he should really talk about that's in an EXTREMELY popular series? Call of Duty: Big Red One or Call of Duty: Finest Hour. Probably 99% of COD fans have never played those games. Mostly everyone started with World at War or Modern Warfare.
G i l l y
Played this game on GameCube as a young kid. Loved it. I remember replaying it with the unlimited spears unlock and only using spears 😂
I absolutely loved this game back in the day, so thrilling, adventures and scary, but I totally disagree with what you said... I had loads of fun playing as King Kong, it was awesome. Childhood memories man.
He made a great review of this game, prob the best actually! But i agree with you, playing as kong was the coolest sh!t.
Oh man, I can tell you the PC version has so many problems. FPS issues, random artifacting, crashing if you try to alt tab, game not allowing you to progress unless you limit your fps to 40, etc etc. It's a shame for how surprisingly good this game ended up being.
Which version?
I had the crappy ps2/xbox port and had absolutely no problems with it. I played the hell out of that game. probably 8 full playthroughs during a 10 year period.
not a single crash stutter or glitch.
Win Vista 32...it was the only reason I kept that partition for so long just for that and a couple of other games...
Hey mate At least it's a Xbox 360 lunch title same as NFS Most Wanted 2005. There will some Bad FPS or Deasent FPS
Wtf one of my favorite youtubers commenting on one of my favorite youtubers
JarekTheGamingDragon
I don't know if you know this but there are 2 version of the game. The original that you should avoid all cost, it uses starforge drm and can break your windows and has many problems and then there is the the gamer edition which is "fine". You do need to go on the "widescreen fixes pack" site to download there fix and after that king kong runs pretty darng good.
@@BendApparatus what crappy ps2 or xbox version? Kongs model was way better in those and i think human models too where on 360 they looks retarted and also better loading screen and not just static loading image... Also lot less bugs and glitches
I had this on PSP when I was a kid and I thought playing as King Kong was amazing and felt invincible, however playing a human was traumatising, when you're walking through a dark cave and giant prehistoric centipede jumps out and eats ya face and all you've got is a bone spear to protect yourself... well scary
Ay, glad I wasnt the only one who had a PSP and got this game 👌
Had it for gamecube. Fuckin terrifying
I had it for gamecube and gba years later i found the psp version at a garage sale for 3 bucks and let me tell u the controls suck ass on psp lol
Probably the best "movie game" I've ever played, I completed it countless times as a kid.
Man ill never forget being 14 and having an entire rainy weekend off school to play this game. I remember i rented it with really low expectations then proceeded to be blown away with how scary and good this game was. One of my best childhood memories will be this.
My friends used to call me weird for playing this game back in the day. After over a decade....I finally have my validation :’)

A remake of remaster of this game would be more perfect than I already find it.
Add 2+ hrs of more gameplay
A few more island creatures
Update graphics and dialogue
Update cutscenes
Keep the same immersive environment but add even more elements and randomness to the creatures.
Even better fighting mechanics, make the a.i even more intelligent and clever
The creatures of the island fighting, hunting and killing each other were the highlights for me. It made them feel like animals just trying to survive. The Brontosaurus level was legit nightmare inducing, the millepedes have you heart attacks, the Venatosaurs were the apex hunters. If they could make the same game and dial it up to 3.0 while MAINTAINING the integrity and vision of the original game, it's a absolute dream of a movie game
The reason ill allways remember this game is that this was the first "shooting" game my mother would allow me to play. Took alot of talking from my side but I still got to play it on ps2. Glory days.
Loved the alternate ending where the captain saves King Kong by shooting down all the planes. Indulgent video game extra at its best.
The 2005 King Kong was a good movie, personally speaking I would say the movie and game are just as good.
Same here, I actually think it did the original justice. It's not perfect but still a great tribute to the movie Jackson admired so much when growing up
God i love the movie , its one long giant amazing ride
Game is better than the movie (and movie is not bad)
It's easily one of my favorite remakes of all time, and as a life long fan of the genre I'd also say it has the best daikaiju score of any film.
It frustrates me to no end we got two really respectful Godzilla films as part of the MonsterVerse and also Skull Island, which is anything but respectful to either franchise.
I absolutely loved it as a 15-year old, however in time I grew to see it as quite flawed if still greatly enjoyable-it's definitely very self-indulgent and the New York intro goes on forever.
this game + godzilla destroy all monsters and save the earth were my childhood. the king kong game though will be my favorite game forever, it’ll hold a special place in my heart. i remember the first time i beat it, getting stuck, spending hours on the same level, and my first time getting the special ending. it’s truly a great game and i wish more people would play it
THIS NEEDS A REMAKE IT WOULD BRING BACK SO MANY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Your deep dives into the deep cuts inspired me to create a UA-cam channel dedicated to the 1995 cult classic Waterworld!
Awsome! Subscribed and will binge later! Looks like you got a lot of lore stuff.
So what I'm hearing is that Brody's character is more well developed here than in the movie?
Blasphemy
i remember playing this on PS2, and from the beginning where you wash up on the beach to fight the crab i was terrified. vulnerable is a perfect word for it, as everything will kill ypu quickly and you cant outrun anything. the graphics+sound truly makes you feel uneasy as you really feel stuck on a dangerous island
That long neck dinosaur level truly terrified me when I was a kid. Never felt so alone and hunted
The Gamer's Edition release was actually bundled with certain graphics cards particularly those from ASUS who made a 7800GTX with a King Kong sticker on it.
Oh and the Captain was none other than Fegelein.
FEGELEIN, FEGELEIN FEGELEIN!
HE IS GOING TO PRANK KING KONG AND IF HE DOES THAT
IM FUCKED
@Zoomer Waffen *removes glasses slowly*
He also caused the Raccoon City Outbreak in Resident Evil: Apocalypse...and he later went on to create Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver for HYDRA.
@@AJadedLizard Fegelein is behind everything.
That stupid antic master
So gonna play this tonight..
This game was one of my favorites as a child.. I remember i was scared at first and then later i wasnt so much anymore. But one of the things i still remember clearly was the part where u had to open the gate why the t-rex was chasing u and you had to keep it distracted so it wouldnt eat your friends.. i have been stuck for weeks on that mission and would constantly restart the entire game since i loved it so much.. the day i finally beat that mission was the best and seeing more of the game was just unreal to me
Lol
Gamepass?
Thank for bringing this back and reminding me of some great times and a very fun game! Great overview!
I miss the movie game era they had a game for almost all movies
I had a lucid dream about this game as a 6 year old after playing it all day. It was like a VR version of the game, and I controlled my player by pressing the buttons and movements in my head. It was a beautiful dream. Scary as hell though.
Did you say "LAST MAGAZINE ON BACKUP"
"Hey man I got yo usome games"
"Cool! , what's it called?"
"Oh you know. That popular game called PJKKTOGOTM"
"Sweet"
This game used to terrify me as a little kid, it was so immersive to me when I was 8 and 9 on PS2. I used to have tons of dreams and nightmares of the setting of this game for years every now and then, honestly even happens still sometimes. That’s how much this game left an imprint on little me lol
This game was part of my childhood growing up, firing it up on the ps2, getting scared shitless and accidentally hitting the power off button with my foot, good times. It was one of the few disks I always made sure to be careful with lol
I now know the perfect game for minimme to review: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.
Has he already reviewed 50 Cent Bulletproof? This one must come first.
The GC version was one of my random favorites and I can't remember even how I got it. The music, the atmosphere, the the pacing, the action.. it was just nuts for me as a kid when it first came out
I can still hear Adrian Brody saying "I've got to reload" a million times because I wanted to reload when I WANTED to and not when the game felt I should
Peter Jackson should really get into directing more video games. This game was amazing
I remember so many times I got scared from the insects and other enemies, I actually got into horror because of it
This game was my childhood, really, on PS2. I remember owning an issue of local gaming magazine (which is a local edition of the UK gaming magazine GamesMaster) having previews of the game before it came out.
I used to absolutely love this game as a kid, my dad used to play Jack's levels for me cause I was too scared and would hand me the controller when Kong came on screen
this game in a nutshell:
"JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!"
Still a great game tho
“With me Jack” -Hayes lol
Playing as kong was one of the best part
The two gameplays complement each other
"5 mags on back up" "Oh god I'm dry!" *spamming ammo button*
15:49 love that Raycevick is on your patreon! if you've never watched any of his videos, it's well worth your time! he does fantastic video essays on games.
I literally use to play this game on a ps2 without a memory card and have to restart everyday, eventually finished it
I've never used a memory card on the ps2,never bought it,I use to restart the game every time,feel stupid now but at the time was fine.
the SNES literally the same bro, every day after school turn it on and restart the game. Good memories
@@jacobstaton99 Yeah, good old memories of no responsability and free from debt times😅
Omg I remember playing this game everyday when I first got my GameCube, it was so cool back then a lot of games like these were available on GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation, awesome video on such a classic game
