The Ape Escape series has been great from the start. This game is even better than the first two and I would highly recommend it to adults and children alike.

It's good to see a game out on the market that has a sense of humor to it and isn't so violent. Parents can buy this game for their child of any age and not have to worry about them seeing content not suited for their age.

I'm 25 and I love this game. It's very easy for anyone to pick up as the gameplay is not all that complicated - though you do use every button on the PS2 controller.

And who doesn't love monkeys?

Graphics: A (Nice clean animation)
Sound: B (It's cheeky music)
Difficulty: Easy (Don't worry, there are tons of levels and monkeys to capture)
Enjoyment: A

Overall: A+

Fun And Funny as All Hell

Look Im 20 years old and i never would have thought chasing monkeys wit nets, have them be inside costumes, and doing crazy antics would make for such a fun game.....Ive been a fan of the series since the beginnning, The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because the game has not created something new and original to compliment the fact you have to catch monkeys.....I think wat keeps the game alive is the control scheme that was implemented, the funny things the monkeys do, and the ways we use the gadgets within the game.... Hope fully if they come out with an Ape Escape 4 that reinvents a few things to make the game more hilariously fun.....
Nonetheless it is an excellent game to play by urself and wit kids to have a nice time.....Damn munkies are funny!

Great Fun for All Ages

Apes have taken over the world ... again. A group of young kids are the only hope for saving the world from turning into mindless couch potatoes.

This is about the ultimate game in harmless fun that gives you things to do without violence. You've got a big butterfly net and are chasing down monkeys in a variety of scenarios. The levels have fun names like "My 36th Wedding" and each has its own look and feel. It reminds me a lot of Gex. The graphics are appropriately cartooney but there's a lot of attention to detail.

There are a variety of monkey types, from the shy to the energetic, from the oblivious to the super-aware. You need to use different approaches on each one. Instead of health, you have Cookies. C is for cookie, and cookie is for me!! Where Sesame Street toned down their cookie monster, apparently cookie consumption is alive and well in Ape land.

The sound is cute and harmless, with lots of high pitched energy. Just about what you'd expect from a game of this genre.

Metal Gear fans will find a few sly references in here to that game - just as when you play Metal Gear, you get occasional references to this series.

Well recommended!

Ape Escape 3

Ape Escape 3 is overall a really fun game. I haven't played the last one (Ape Escape 2) in a while, but I think this one is a little better. One thing is that I thought the new "morph gear" thing was a little off. Transforming wasn't something I'd expect in an Ape Escape game, and it didn't seem to fit in (although it is kinda fun and helpful).The mini game Mesal Gear Solid is awesome! I command you to play it! (I haven't beat it yet)

Pretty fun

The reason I like the game is because its challenging and its fun to try out!! Its kind of for beginners but well you'll evntually start getting into it by the 2nd boss!! It takes a lot of skill to beat the monkeys because some keep hitting you until your lifes are out!! Its really cool but start with the first game.The reason I did not like this game as much as I thought I would is because the controllers that you use in the game are not natural. Such as using the R1 button to jump or the right analog stick to capture the monkeys and use the gadgets. In the end you'll get use to it but you'll have to spend lots of time in the training room to get used to types of buttons you use. Another reason is, is that once you finish the game the game it gets boring. You capture the monkeys over and over again but yet it gets more boring as you go along the game. In overall I give this game a 5 star rating!! But I had to take one off because of the bad part of the game. So the average rating is 4 stars!!!

This is really a fun game! I personally have been a RPG gamer for as long as I can remember ever since I started playing video games. Therefore I am used to plots and story lines and over 60 hours of continuous game play. This game offered me a whole new experience of gaming, and it is absolutely great! It is cute, creative, and so much fun to play. You get to run after many different kinds of monkeys in many different environments. There're surprises in lots of scenes. The scenery changes at every level so you don't ever feel like you're doing the same thing! This game is definitely one for all ages. Highly recommended for video gamers out there who are looking for a fun gaming experience!

Fun but maybe not for true gamers...

One of the things I like best about this game is that you use the controls different then most other games of this type and that alone can pose a new and interesting challenge. The only negative thing I can say about this game is the cut scenes are a little too long, the boss battles are very easy once you find out the secrets to destroy them and sometimes constant changing of gadgets can slightly put a drag on play time. Overall this is a good game that will hold your interest. It is a GREAT game for kids (9 and up), maybe not really young first timers, as they may have trouble figuring out which item to use at which time. It can pose enough challenge to be fun for anyone, the mini games are fun as well. I recommend getting cheats to find the hidden rooms for the last morph.
