This game is so cool.Although the graphics aren't the best out there they aren't the worst.The gameplay fun runs out after the you beat it the first time.Spector (the villian who is actually a monkey) is very challenging and is very fun to beat over and over.(My brothers act like a freak of nature over this game).I would definitley buy this game.

Just one more ape...

Ape Escape consists of more than 20 3D levels based on a variety of time zones. To clear a level, Spike (played by you) must capture a set number of monkeys. After filling that quota, you must access the next level. Reaching the monkeys will require you to jump, sneak, swim, climb and fly through a variety of situations. To help you on your way, you are given a net and a lightsaber type stun club. Throughout the course of the game, Spike will collect six additional gadgets. In addition to providing the means of completing future levels, returning to previous levels with new gadgets will allow Spike to capture any monkeys he left behind. In addition to monkeys, each level has tokens to collect. Collecting enough tokens will open minigames. This game gets addicting pretty fast.

MONKEYS !!!!!!!!

What can be more fun than running around chasing monkeys? the are plenty of levels and gadgets to play with. The only downside is that the paddle boat is impossible to control in my opinion. Each monkey has its own charateristics and weapons. just trying to run up and snag the monkey doesn't always work. special gadgets must be used first. Pretty much run around the world getting rid of monkeys using gadgets. The game is pretty explanatory but is loads of platform fun. also includes minigames that can kill some time with friends.

It was good in the late 90's, its still good now.

The source of the Ape Escape series, the game that started it all. And pretty much the best of the lot.

We know the story, a Professor builds helmets for the monkey's at a park to increase their IQ's but the first monkey to try a helmet on not only grows smater, the evil in his heart surfaces and so the maddness begins.
The monkey, Specter, then uses the helmets to control all the other monkeys and begins his first step on world domination. They break into the Professor's lab and use his latest invention to travel through time and space and rewrite history so monkeys rule. Though on the same day the young 10 year old friends of the Professor, Spike and Jake come over to see the invention but are sent into the past along with Specter's followers. Jake's lost for the time being and so its up to Spike through the help of the Proffesor and his helper Natalie to catch all the apes and save the earth.
Armed with gadgets from the Prof., Spike will travel through time catching the monkeys and exploring many historic views along the way from the dawn of time, to the ice age, midevil times, it goes on!

The game came out in 1999 so of course the graphics are a little dated and the voice acting wasn't the best, but the game was just to much fun to nock off points for that. The game's difficulty ranges from normal to hard from time to time, and you have plenty of replay value with catching those little guys and getting 100%
One thing I also thought was cool was the control set up they chose, it actually makes for some pretty cool game play control.
For 10 bucks or less, I recomend this.

This game is great.If you want a game that is fun, challenging, but not so challenging that you cant play it, Ape Escape is the best.

Toward the end you try to save Spike's best friend Jake who has been captured and turned evil by the evil mastermind Spector. He has plotted to change history so he can take over the world.

Collect specter coins to unlock cool minigames to play, one time I played the first minigane for a whole hour.Some monkeys including Spector hide and are hard to find, while others are out in the open. You dont see Spector until you are closer to the end.

The Profeser gives you gadgets to help you play. Natily helps the Profeser, but is kind of snoty to you.Make sure you buy a memery card for this one. Now it is time to save man kind as we know it!!!!!

The years worst platformer!

This game is-TERRIBLE! The puzzles are easy, the gameplay is too slow, the graphics are not as good as I expected them to be, considering the amount of excitement surrounding the game's release. The game expects you to be to precise in your movements, for example, in a part where you have to paddle a raft down the river, if you don't move the analog sticks at the EXACT SAME TIME you just go around in circles. So, do yourself a favor and buy Tomb Raider or Spyro instead! If I could give Ape Escape 0 stars I would!

Pretty Good

This game is alright. The way you can get new gadgets and need to go back through the levels is okay, but after you finish that there's zip to do. You can olny resort to the bad arcade games, which have unbelivably bad graphics. This game is compltely 2-D in some parts, which can get annoying. It's better to rent this game than buy it.

Very Original!

There are no games like this so far, and it's enjoyable for anyone (and especially for those who like these little creatures and anyone with spiked hair.) Many items are yours after completing levels, such as the monkey radar, which gives you stats about your next capture and where to find it and the RC car, which is way cool because you can drive it around and have it destroy annoying enemies for you and it can drive into places Spike would never be able to go. This is very useful to chase out the monkeys so you can capture them. In the game, there are rowboats and tanks. The rowboat paddles are controlled by the left and right analog sticks and the tank is mainly the same thing except it's on land and it can destroy nessicary walls Spike could never destroy. This is a great game and I reccomend it to everybody!

This Game Rocks

Bored with those old games? This game gives you the best stuff in the universe. You don't just sit there staring at the screen with your mouth wide open and your eyes like goldfish's, this is plain fun. Some levels are challenging and some of the monkeys are tough, but it's an extremely good game. I'm pretty far, myself. Don't worry, you'll get those monkeys like eatin' pie.
