Gameplay

While playing as Jack Driscoll, the game uses a first person perspective, with sections of Skull Island divided into separate levels (displayed as scenes on a role of film in the main menu). The player must survive against the creatures of the island using various methods such as guns and ammunition dropped in crates by Captain Englehorn's sea plane, spears crafted by the island's natives, and fire. The environment can also be used to the player's advantage, such as setting the tips of spears on fire to burn a patch of tall grass to kill creatures lurking within (or simply impale the creature with the burning spear), smaller animals being used as bait for larger predators as a means of a distraction or to lure into a trap, or simply use stone structures as cover to hide from/evade/sneak past the creatures.


When playing as Kong, the game takes a third person perspective, and becomes more focused on combat. The player can now confront larger predators head on, and use the environment such as tree trunks, a wall of vines that allow the player to climb, and ledges to swing, as a means of gaining the upper hand in combat, or simply progression through the level. In most levels as Kong, the player has the responsibility to keep Ann Darrow safe. Either by keeping her in hand, or placing her in a safe location when the situation calls for use of both Kong's hands, such as battling a Vastatosaurus rex or pushing a larger pillar out of the way to continue the level.

Plot

After crashing on the shores of Skull Island, Jack Driscoll is awoken by Ann Darrow. She, Jack, Carl Denham and Ben Hayes then leave the wreck of their boat to find higher ground, where Captain Englehorn, dropped them some supplies from the ship's plane while searching for a place to land. They encounter a group of Cunaepraedators, which Jack and Hayes fight off before heading deeper into the island. They arrive in a system of catacombs, where they are attacked by Scorpio-pedes. They narrowly escape, and are separated after a narrow bridge collapses, leaving Jack and Ann to continue alone in their search for a safe stretch of water for Englehorn to land on.
