Nope. It seems the developers only used HD screens during the games development, but didn't think to check it on a normal TV

It did not occur to them that there would be a problem with standard televisions, which are what most people use to play console games.

Other 360 games, like Microsoft's Perfect Dark Zero, offer an option to select what type of TV is being used.

Funnily enough, i went to do a bit of xmas shopping today and noticed in gamestation they had Kong on an Xbox360 and a samsung HD pannel. It was extremly dark and virtually unplayable at times.

I played Kong on an HD TV and I found it incredibly dark and had no idea where I was going.

To tell you the truth, i thought i was playing a 2 year old PC game anyway. Graphically, at least what you could see, the graphics are very underwhelming.

I have only played the demo but the game doesn't really seem special. Maybe worth a purchase when its cheap
