I cannot say enough good things about this game. It provides tons of entertainment unlike games that are easily conquered. It has sooo many levels. The further you progress it includes exciting new features, but also combines some familiar things from along the way, too. It definitely makes full use of the controller, using every button available for game play. I would not recommend it for children under 8 or 9 because it takes alot of coordination to control, but the coordination is not difficult once you get used to it. Some levels are quite hard, but not so much so that you get annoyed and feel like smashing it, but it is definitely challenging in a good way. It does say "this bites" when you get killed, so if you care about your kids hearing it you will not like that. there are also three mini games that you can access after you have attained certain goals within the actual game. this is such a great game! i have had so much fun playing it, and i still haven't beaten it. it is really intense and fun. highest recommendation!

Really Cute!

I bought this for my four-year old and he liked it. I guess the idea of catching monkeys really appealed to him. I tried it and I liked it. The game is fun and challenging. Only, it is a bit fast paced when catching the little fur-balls. Fun for all!!

Too much fun

I was bored one day, and was watching my mother-in-law play Ape Escape 2. Looked like it was fun, and less stressful than some of my other games that I like tend to be, and borrowed her copy of the first Ape Escape.

It starts out simple enough. You catch a few slow monkeys and learn your gadgets thru tutorials. But then it gets difficult. My 3 year old daughter loves to sit on the bed with spare control in hand and help catch monkeys. The graphics are nice and the storyline is fun. The gadgets are cool too.

Only one complaint, and that is that the camera angle loves to change when you are at the most challenging parts. Anytime you need to use your flying thingy and it's for going somewhere difficult, the camera changes and you can't see where your destination is. It gets a bit annoying after you die a few times, but I did eventually get past the frustration and finished the game. This game is great for young kids and adults alike.

Only ok

This game to me, wasnt that much fun. Pretty much all you do is try to catch monkeys, and after a while it isnt fun. I would highly suggest you try out this game before you actully buy it.This game just starts to get a little bit tired. Thanx for looking at this review. Hope it was helpful.

I love this game, it's so cool!

At first it's a little trickey, but soon you can't put it down! It gets easyer, and quicker, you learn new tecniques, and get different gajets to help you get the bad guys! I recomend this game to any one with a playstation game console, the whole family wants to play!

when i first looked at this game i said it was stupid, I mean catching monkeys but once I played it I quickly changed my mind. I guarantee you will love this game no matter how old you are, hardcore gamer or causul.You must have a DUAL SHOCK controller to play this game and that is the best part of the game the control is unmatched and after playing this game you will wish all the games were controlled like this

When I first got it I didn't think it was going to be fun. My friends told me it was fun but I didn't belive them. Then I play for once and it was very fun. I get stuck in some parts and I give it a few trys and then I leave it alone if it didn't work. It does Make your mind think on some parts. Also it you don't pass a leave in a "SNAP" you got to take your time in this game. You have to have Anaolog on your control to have Dual Shock. I think it's time to buy the game now.

Filled with excitement at every moment

We've got over 50 Playstation games here but this has to be the best of them all. As much excitement and adrenalin as a "Tekken" style game. As much creativity as anything I've ever seen. VERY cool. Highly recommended. No it's not just for kids.
