Peter Jackson's King Kong (also known as Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie) is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft, based on the 2005 film King Kong. The game was created in collaboration between the film's director Peter Jackson, and game designer Michel Ancel.
The game allows players to play as both Jack Driscoll and King Kong. Players use firearms and spears as Jack; and punch, grab and use objects/corpses as Kong, to defend against and fight creatures on Skull Island. The King Kong segments are played from a third-person perspective, while the Jack levels are played from a first-person perspective. The game de-emphasizes the role of a heads-up display (HUD), with the developers explaining that this conceivably would help players to get further immersed into the game (although the HUD can be turned on in the settings).
Peter Jackson’s King Kong is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
How to play on Windows
This version is the Gamer’s Edition. To avoid gamebreaking bugs (like Kong not being able to lift large things blocking pathways), I highly recommend downloading the widescreen fix since it includes the 60FPS lock requirement that this version lacks.

Place these files into the King Kong game directory. You might encounter minimal bugs like a few missing/stretched textures, being unable to climb some steps, and bats flying extremely fast. You CAN get past these with a bit of finesse.
Thanks for uploading this game! It was as great as I remembered.
When I push the joystick down, the camera pans left, up, right, left, up, and right down.
