 A refreshing adventure August 21, 2007

I played the first 2 and loved them and this is no exception, the gadgets are as cool as ever, the monkeys are as funny as ever and the levels are as bright and clolurful as ever. in addition you have many new features such as the costumes and the huge wealth of extras. I played the whole game with a big grin on my face.
Amazing ammounts of fun...Unfortunately the game ends. August 2, 2007

I loved this game. I bought it cause I loved the original ape escape and thought i'd give this a try as I found the first one very funny and great gameplay. I was not dissapointed, Its an improvement on the first one...Unfortunately the cutscenes were too...I don't know how to describe it, Vaguely reminiscent of a rubbish childrens show, Although some of it is hilarious and the comedy never faulters, the voice acting of the two main characters is absolutely awful.
That however does ruin the flawless and amazing gameplay, There are transformations to keep it original, many ways to capture the hilarious costumed monkeys and towards the end of the game. You can make them star in very small but very funny little movies which you can make sound effects, Camera angles and choose the monkeys you want to act and exactly what they say/do. Its great. There also a variety of bosses...It is not too hard to get 100% But there are plenty of mini-games and such to keep you occupied and you can even retry levels for the hell of it. The greatest recent platformer in existance.

I'm not a great one for writing reviews but this game was so amusing I felt I had to.
The style can be a little cutesy in places but overall a twisted Japanese sense of humour shines through. The plot line (if you can call it that) focuses on monkeys taking over the world through TV broadcasts. This gives a large range of genres to enjoy / mock, all of which are done with aplomb.
However the main event is still catching the escaped monkeys which come in many varieties and levels of evasion and aggression. Catching them can sometimes be fairly tricky and they do fight back. You'll encounter Mer-monkeys, Space-monkeys, Medieval-monkeys, Ninja-monkeys, Cowboy-monkeys...
Luckily you're give the tools to do the job. Starting with a stun stick and a net you'll soon upgrade to a catapult, a hand-held helicopter and various different disguises allowing transformation and special skills. These include a Knight, a Cowboy, a Kung-Fu Master and a Ninja. All of these are required to finish the game.
You also get a Metal Gear Solid tribute with monkeys and bizarre horoscopes. All in all, highly recommended for any age

I love this game! Its's yet another great title in the best-selling Ape Escape series from Sony. You can morph into different personas this time, such as WildWest Kid or Gotcha Man.
There are over 400 different monkeys to catch and many levels that all parodyfamous movies-particularly impressive is the Tip-Top Gun level,a parody of Top Gun,in which you jump over the wings of planes, trying to catch those pesky monkeys!
The game does smack of ploitical correctness in places-having a girl character and a female scientist is my point-and some of ther levels parody the first two games a bit much-even some of the music used in the game is from the first game, seven years ago!
Overall though, with Simian Cinema,Market Street and the excellent mini-game Mesal Gear Solid, this is one title that proves one thing-Ape Escape is a tried and trusted great game, that, quite literally,can so no wrong!Specter even has the same birthday as me, too-the 28th January!
PERFECT GAME!!!! June 21, 2006
