Great game

APE ESCAPE provides some of the best gameplay ever, due to its great variety of levels and its outstanding control. Each level in APE ESCAPE requires you to capture a set number of apes using a variety of gadgets which are provided by the mad professor (who let all the monkeys loose in the first place). The control is definitely a plus of this game; the left stick on the pad controls the movement of the main character, the right stick operates the chosen weapon or tool and points it in whichever direction you choose. Extensive use of the two sticks is necessary throughout the game, for everything from swimming to rowing a boat. You'll also love the beautiful 3D environments--they are amazingly plush and well designed, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing experience. This game is definitely recommended for people of all ages it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
