I have a huge library of games, Syphon Filter, FFVII, Spyro, Metal Gear Solid, Tomb raider, Parasite eve, Legend of Kain etc. This game is the only one that is just difficult enough to keep you want come back for more, yet not difficult enough to keep you stuck at one point for hours and hours like some games: Tomb Raider, Syphon filter, Parasite eve, FFVII, so on. I am not a very patient guy. If I am stuck at any point for more than three or four tries, I do not want bother it it any more.
Ape escape is extremely fun, a lot of variety of game play: row a boat, swing a net, swim, sling shot. Especially the sling shot felt so natural. Spyro is pretty easy but the play isn't as varied.
I love this game!

Well personaly I think "Ape Escape" is one of the best games to ever come out for the "Playstation". Unless I am mistaking it is the only game that full utilizes the analog control,and well over all it is a really fun game to play. There is so much for you to do on the game,you'll never want to stop playing it! Trust me I know. Now keep in mind this is one game that you'll want to buy not rent. Beacuse you might not have enough time to fully enjoy the game. (unless you catch on to games real quick)heres a little tip on the game DO NOT CHEAT OR USE THE STRAGITY GUIDE,unless u really need to,it could spoil the game. P.S the controls are [hard] to get use to. but,when you do...
Fantastical fun

Graphics: 9/10 - Nothing is ugly in Ape Escape, it all looks totally fabulous. The character movements and designs are extremely nice and the attacks and training scenes are all beautifully put together.
Sound: 8/10 - A groovy score and neat sound editing techniques make Ape Escape's sound thoroughly plausible.
Value: 9/10 - Endlessly fun to play. Ape Escape is a game you will start once and start again, start once and start again. You'll play it so many times; you may take over 10 whole memory cards!
Overall: 9/10 - This shouldn't be overlooked because of its frankly silly plot. It's stunningly enjoyable to play and really gives a good use to the analogue controller.
Possibly the Best Adventure Game for playstation

I had just glided through a bunch of good games, and was looking for something to provide a real challenge to great gamers, yet not exasperating. I stumbled upon Ape Escape, and it was just what I was looking for. The play control is unique, and will take a litte while to get used to, the camera is not too bad, and the game in general ROCKS! There are no apes in the game,(Just monkeys)but who cares! This is great, nonviolent fun for someone who wants a challenge similar to Zelda games for N64. Unless you don't have an analog control, BUY IT!
Ape Escape is Awsome

Ape Escape has pretty good graphics, especially for PlayStation. The game has lots of special activities and tools which make it very interesting. The controls are hard to use at first, but you get used to it quickly. The game has a creative plot, and it has no gore and very little violence. Several levels are frustrating, but it is a pretty good game overall.
Monkeys on the LOOSE!

Ape Escape is an awesome game with amazing graphics and great storyline. The game has over 200 different monkeys, each with hilarious attitudes. This was (no doubt) my favorite game of all time, cuz I just love playing adventure/platform games. This game is not easy to beat if you want to complete it 100%. There are time trials for almost every level and cool mini-games. It took me over a month to beat the game 100%, but I'm just an average gamer. I recommend this game, cuz it's fun, exciting, cool, and CHEAP $$$!
Ape chasin' fun!

I have only had my Playstation for a few months and this was one of the first games I bought based on lots of good reviews. This game completely addictive. Being a new gamer, I love the training room where you can practice your "moves" with the different gadgets. The apes are so cute and such fun to stalk, stun, and scoop up in your net. Fun for all ages - buy it!
great action game

this game was very interesting and brings about a challenge that you can enjoy. the graphics are great, and the inventions were cool. you can't beat the price of this game for how good it is. it will take a long while for kids to beat this game. and that is a good thing because you don't want to finish the game too fast.
