Ape escape in my opinion is a great game.There are over 200 monkeys to catch so I advise you not to rent it. It has great music and backgrounds,and a wide variety of levels.There are many gadgets that you can use such as:a remote control car, net,stun club,and many more!Don't think it is a easy game on some levels you really have to use your head.Also the monkeys fight back some have: laser guns,machine guns,bats or just use their bare fist.These monkeys are really smart so watch out.It also great mini games,so Ape escape is really worth it.

Great Game

Great game with many levels and additional arcade-like games. Each level has many present surprises. You really have to explore every corner to locate them. I like it that you have to go back to complete the previous levels after you get additional gadgets. The only thing I don't like is the choppy and occationally buggy graphics. But the fun of the game is more than enough to make up for it. You should try to begin a level and then keep your hands off the controls for a while, you will see spike doing some funny things! I highly recommend this game for all ages. You will have hours of fun!

A really fun game!

A great game for kids. Although I'm 13 I really enjoyed this game a lot. It has cool gagets and exiting new stages. Beating up mindless mokeys is the best part.

This game is very challenging, you have to dodge foes, travel through time to stop an evil monkey genuis from sending monkeys to the past and destroy our future. Swim through swamps in the time of dinosaurs, explore a forest filled with enemies, and much more. use stun clubs,time net,slingshot and other gadgets at the right time. It's a really fun game.

A surprisingly good action game.

Ape Escape is on one of the sleekest action games on Playstation, which is, in theory, a pretty low-power console. The graphics, despite being rather choppy, are colorful and well-textured. Most of all, the game has a high frame rate with no noticeable slowdown to speak of, which allows things to move quickly and smoothly. The control scheme is intuitive despite being complex at the outset. Fortunately, no action you can take requires pressing more than one button. Right shoulder buttons are jumping, left shoulder buttons center camera and bring you into a first-person lookaround mode, digital d-pad moves the camera, left and right sticks move the character and the selected tool respectively, which the X, triangle, circle, and square buttons select your tool. Also, the controls are quite tight, which will save you much frustration from falling over cliffs and such. The camera is one of the best I've ever seen. It rarely swings around the character, although at times I did experience a few odd, glitchy perspectives, such as from behind walls and from under floors. Fortunately, the camera is spring-loaded to auto-center on the character.

The level selection is the usual cliche pretty meadows/volcanoes/robotic factory fare, but in order to fulfill your quota of monkeys (capturing anachronistic, and very agile monkeys is the point of the game) you will have to navigate your surroundings in all of the three dimensions and utilize all of your equipment (monkeys are caught with a net, enemies are disposed of with a "force club", you can glide with a hand copter to reach higher ground, or swim via help of a motorized sub), which is part of the appeal. The levels are large and complex.

The game is relatively easy, but the frantic excitement it creates will make you play it over and over again.

Super Simian Game!

This game is great!

The storyline is excellent, graphics amazing-- one heck of a cool game!

I do feel that if you are six through eight you may need a little help mastering the control but you will learn with ease. Smooth controls, voice-overs really fit the characters, it's good fun for the whole family. Also, the little minnie games are fun. Four games in one! Ape Escape it's self, a sking game, a boxing game (with kid-friendly graphics) and a spaceship game. This game is great... I higly recomend it! See ya gamers!

very fun

I found this game fun, but at times it's a bit difficult and it's very slow going. It takes forever just to clear one level, and you lose many lives doing it. Not reccommended for kids or those (like me)who are not expert gamers.

A Great Game

Ape Escape is one the best games I've ever played for Playstation. It's fun working your way up the levels and getting new gadgets. It's even got a two player mode.

Lot's of Fun
