Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of The Movie - Characters

Characters

• Jack Driscoll: The main protagonist whom the player controls from a first person perspective. He is a popular screenwriter from New York, and his main objective is to save Ann from the hands of Kong. He may use different weapons, such as shotguns, spears, sharpened bones, and pistols, to defend himself.
• Ann Darrow: A down-on-her-luck actress who Jack soon falls in love with. She can climb up walls to complete objectives for Jack and Kong. She can only use spears to defend herself and the others. She also has medical knowledge which she uses to heal other members of the group. She is kidnapped by Kong in Sacrifice and is rescued in To Save Ann. She is kidnapped again in Call Kong, but is rescued in Kong's Lair.
• Carl Denham: All Carl cares about is his film. While sometimes he can be useful for killing enemies, he usually stands back from the fighting to film the wonders of Skull Island. His camera is eventually destroyed in an encounter with Kong over a log bridge, only to catch the great ape himself. He leaves your group in The Log.
• Hayes: An infantry man from World War I. Hayes has the perfect knowledge of how to handle firearms. He sometimes gives Jack useful weapons and is the only comrade on the island who can kill enemies with firearms as well as Jack Driscoll, making him your most useful ally. He is killed when a V-Rex steps on him in Call Kong.
• Kong: The games main star and titular character, Kong is a 25-foot (7.6 m) gorilla who is the last of his kind. You can play as Kong in the game. He protects Ann and kills different creatures in her defense. He can climb walls, lift stone pillars, swing from branches and even unlock pathways. He is killed when he is shot down and falls from the Empire State Building, although he can be saved and returned to his lair on Skull Island in the alternate ending.
• Captain Englehorn: Captain of the Venture, Englehorn flies around the island in a seaplane, dropping crates of ammunition. He comes to retrieve Jimmy while Jack heads to Kong's lair in To the Plane.
• Jimmy: The youngest member of the Venture crew. He came ashore in another boat along with Preston and Lumpy. Like Carl and Ann, he can only use spears and is an easy target for most creatures. Jimmy has a knack for getting into trouble and frequently requests Jack's assistance. Jimmy is later rejoined with the group in the level 'Jimmy'.
• Preston: Carl's assistant who ventures ashore with Lumpy and Jimmy in another boat. He is the only one of his group (Jimmy, Baxter, Choy and Lumpy.) to make it across the ravine. When Jack, Carl, and Hayes find Jimmy, Jimmy says that Preston was killed. But that is unlikely since in the V-Rex level when Lumpy and Jimmy's team is on the bridge, he is the only one not to fall down into the crevasse.
• Lumpy: The cook on board the Venture, Lumpy went with Preston and Jimmy in another boat. He is eaten by a V-Rex after a failed attempt to defend Jimmy in the level V-Rex.
• Briggs: A sailor who tries to come ashore with the main cast, but is killed when a rock falls on the boat.
• Sailors: Several of the Venture crew go ashore and are killed by the island's vicious inhabitants. Choy and Bruce Baxter are among them. Baxter's body is seen in The Canyon, covered in cuts, presumably killed by the Terapusmordax. A similar body also appears later on in the level 'To Save Ann', with several spears protruding, the individual in question having clearly been killed by the natives.
