San Francisco - French video game publisher Ubisoft announced on Tuesday that its video game based on director Peter Jackson's "King Kong" features an unlockable alternate ending, in which players can "save the giant ape from his cinematic death, pilot an airplane and discover Kong back home on his native Skull Island." "I wanted the game to be able to take the audience a bit further than what the film could," said Jackson. "And the final climax of the game gave us an opportunity to do something that the film could not do, which was to have an alternate ending." "Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie" was released for PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Xbox, GameCube, PSP, Nintendo DS and the PC.
