![]() ![]() ![]() Their appearance is woven perfectly throughout the game. Those who don't like analog controls will get into the swing of things because the tutorials are brief and right to the point. The new gadgets, such as the Sky Flyer, enable Spike to acquire monkeys he couldn't get and bonuses that were once simply out of his reach. For instance, the levels were created so that as players pick up later-level gadgets, frequent returns to previously visited levels are necessary. In the control room, players can try every single little tutorial, and throughout the game, new ones will pop up to explain new gadgets, puzzles, and the ways in which the game works. What makes Ape Escape so playable and so honest in the beginning are the tutorials, of which there are many. In the adventure, the Professor will assist you with numerous gadgets, helpful TV-like transmissions, and warp your body back and forth in time to complete the necessary tasks. ![]() You star as Spike, and with the help of your friend Natalie and the Professor, you travel back in time to capture each and every one of the precocious little monkeys. In a theme reminiscent of Planet of the Apes, these little creeps plan on changing history so that apes rule the world and humankind becomes the special attraction at amusement parks! They find the inventions called the Peak Point Helmets and instantly become intelligent, with a particularly ingenious simian named Specter running the others. Gameplay Ape Escape is the story of a band of rogue monkeys that escape from the amusement park and mistakenly break into a genius professor's laboratory. It is not only a more interesting game because of its analog control, it's a genuinely mesmerizing and inventive platformer that uses the analog in ways no one has ever seen before. Ape Escape is a big step in the evolution of the modern platformer. For an industry that likes to push the technological barriers in theory, but only occasionally in practice, Ape Escape not only used the used the analog controller, but the game requires it. I hope the sequel (out in Japan) comes to North America.Apparently, Sony Japan felt the same way, and in a first for PlayStation, the company created a completely analog-controlled platform game, Ape Escape. Bottom line: a good game and cheap in price, too. The monkeys steal the show, they can be so cute and so cruel at times. Every monkey has a name and a quirk that is saved for your reading. You can even collect coins that will allow you to play mini-games. You'll use various gadgets that you'll acquire over time. You'll travel to prehistoric lands, glacial areas, Feudal Japan, and others. The graphics are a bit primitive, but the control is good, although a bit cumbersome. Spike must go out in time and capture all the monkeys (and save his friend Jake, who has been brainwashed by Specter). Then he goes out and uses the Professor's time machine to send his monkeys out with the goal to alter history so that primate and not man rule the world. One monkey, named Specter, got his hands on the helmet, and uses his new powers to create more helmets and give them to his friends. Seems that your professor friend has created a helmet that will allow monkeys to act like humans. You are Spike, a early-teen who needs to capture monkeys. Released in 1999, it was the first game in which you needed Dual Shock Controllers to play. Ape Escape is a great game for the PSOne. ![]()
