Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World
Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World is an action/adventure video game developed by Ubisoft for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. In Europe, it is known as King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie. Due to the limited technology the Game Boy Advance has, King Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World is very different from the home console versions of the game. In this game, players switch between various roles - one being the movie exhibition visiting Skull Island to do filming which comprises actress Ann Darrow, director Carl Denham and scriptwriter Jack Driscoll, and the 25 ft gorilla and king of Skull Island, King Kong. While the overhead human section focuses on puzzle-solving and adventuring elements, Kong sections are combat-oriented side-scrollers.

Довольна простая игра с типичными логическими задачками, которые не ломают мозг. А что конкретно ломает мозг, так это запутанность локаций и невозможность понять куда тебе конкретно надо идти. Спасибо что хоть игра играбельна.
Is it a good game? Probably also no.
But it’s a better game than it really deserves to be; a movie tie-in on a platform that had been superceded. There are some solid elements here. The multi character system is fun, the crafting system, while basic, is an interesting wrinkle. There are some solid puzzles, while it manages to have an element of survival horror to its dinosaur fights (and the pause menu sting too). And the graphics are pretty nice.
But it has big flaws. The sections where you play as Kong are tedious. The mini flashes of stealth gameplay that can have Ann be recaptured if you fail, forcing you to trek back across the map to get her, are a pain. And navigation generally is not great. The game is bad at telling you where to go in both a micro sense (with hard to navigate levels) and a macro sense, (with its world map that is not particularly helpful). The creatures that infinitely spawn behind bits of scenery can do one too.
