Product Description
From the Manufacturer
There’s been a terrible accident at Monkey Park! Jimmy, the main character, has accidentally provided the monkeys with a superior intelligence and means of escape from the park!
Three hundred monkeys. One little mix-up. One gorilla of a problem.
Everyone knows the Professor is an awfully bright man. After all, he’s invented all sorts of cool devices, like the Monkey Helmet, a brilliant contraption designed to boost the intelligence of the average primate. But he forgot to take a few things into account. First, that his well-meaning assistant Jimmy might not be the most responsible person to leave in charge. And second, that the marvelous Monkey Helmets might fall into the hands of a not-so-average primate—the conniving Specter, a devilish monkey with schemes to take over the world. So when Jimmy accidentally boxes up some Monkey Helmets with the Monkey Pants he’s supposed to warp over to Monkey Park, total mayhem breaks loose as Specter leads 300 riotous monkeys in a madcap monkey revolution.
Go bananas with wacky gadgets, funky vehicles, and zillions of unlockable items as you help Jimmy and his friend Pipotchi chase down 300 spunky monkeys and squash their plans for world domination. Be careful—these little anarchists strut some serious attitude, and they’re not monkeying around!
Features:
- Up the fun with three side-splitting mini games, including Monkey Soccer, Dance Monkey Dance, and Monkey Climber
- Go ape-wild with 12 crafty new gadgets and videos, like the Banana Boomerang, and the Radio-Controlled Car
- Take on the Freaky Monkey Five and 300 spunky monkeys, each with his own unruly antics and outrageous personality
- Explore all sorts of large and lavish environments, such as Castle Frightmare, Panic Pyramid, and Moon Base
- Play your way through 20 exciting levels and 8 challenging bosses as you capture monkeys around the world

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very creative - great fun for kids!,
By SandmanVI (Glen Allen, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ape Escape 2 (Video Game)
The reviews here really surprise me a lot. It's hard to believe that such a fun (and funny) game could get so many gripes. However I notice that most of those come from people comparing it to the original which preceded this title by 5 years. I think UBI Soft intentionally abandoned those players and aimed this game squarely at today's young children (5-12) rather than the teens that the original's players are by now. Given the target audience, I think the difficulty level is appropriate and even challenging at times. This comes from the fact that the controls are very different from ordinary games, though they are perfect for this one. The buttons are used merely to switch between your many devices rapidly while all game controls actually are executed with the 2 joysticks. It works quite well once you get used to it. It also requires a bit of puzzle-solving and critical thinking for young children to determine which device is best for a specific job. The main point is that the game is just plain fun to play. The action is fact-paced but not stress-inducing. The presentation is refreshing. The graphics are good but nothing stellar. A key is that the big bosses are very funny and novel. Who but the Japanese could present as a major enemy a petite, karaoke-singing monkey girl who grows enraged after you disrupt her chance at stardom? Others are equally zany. Honestly my kids (5&9) love this game and revisit it often. My son often plays the Monkey Soccer mini-game even when he doesn't want to play the normal game; and it's knid of cool that the only monkeys that you can add to your roster are monkeys that you have already captured in the real game. My daughter loves the Dance Monkey Dance mini-game. Rare to find a game that girls and boys enjoy equally like this one. Highly recommended for kids... not good for teens or more edgy audiences.

Greatness gone bad.,

This review is from: Ape Escape 2 (Video Game)
There was a hint of brillence in the first ape escape that you could really admire. The game tested you in many catagories, and in the end, you were a better gamer than before. But that was five years ago, and it seems that gamming standards have fallen greatly.I think the biggest creative mistake the developers made was waiting so long to create a true sequal to the debute title. I mean think about it. The first game was made almost 5 years ago now, meaning the audience it was aimed for at the time is older now. If they had raised the E rating to T, it would have given the game a lot more potential for a more exciting and creative plot. It's safe to say that the 'original' fans of ape escape were pretty shocked when they played this game. You can really tell which of the reviewers on the cite played the first game and which ones didn't. This game pretty much alienates it's former fans with childlish dialog and way too easy gameplay. As for the characters, you can't really be satified with any of them. With stereotypes of your everday after-school anime shows, this game really disapoints you. And no matter what some reviewers say, this "jimmy" is Ash from pokemon. Whoever said it wasn't, is beeing mistaken by the replacement voice over that the pokemon series used in later seasons. But that aside, it's really annoying, and I liked the original characters more. Even with all the flaws that this game so readily displays, there is one fact that you cannot ignore. The graphics have without a doubt gotten much better. But obviously that wasn't enough to cancel out the rest of this games problems. Even tho stories don't really matter in games like this, this story pretty much annoys you to the core. Sure it was sorta cute at first to see specter in the opening scene, but if it werent for that, the story would be flat out lame. Well as you can tell, from my point of view, this game wash incredibly dissapointing. I don't think I'll ever think about ape escape the same again. It went from the coolest game ever, to the coolest game ever with the stupidest sequal. It's just amazing how many flaws this game had, campared to how awesome the first game was. After you beat the first game, you truly feel like you've accomplished something by beating such a difficult game. But when you beat the sequal, you feel as if you've finally completed some tedious never-ending chore. Yes, many things went terribly wrong in the creation of this sequal, but you can never destroy the classics and that is a relief! But if you won't take my word, and the word of all the other 'original' fans, play this game and wittness the horror yourself.

Just to straighten things out.,

This review is from: Ape Escape 2 (Video Game)
I would like to say this: 1. You don't have to beat the game twice to get Spike back.[yes ,the game just doesn't revolve around Jimmy].You have to return to different levels to get the monkeys you haven't caught yet. 2. Jimmy's voice is not Ash Ketchum. Veronica Taylor [yes,Ash is a girl] had nothing to do with the game. 3. The camera can be reseted by pressing L1. I enjoy this game especially because of the music. There are 51 songs including the Pink Monkey music video, Escape the Ape. Control systems are very original compaired to what is available today. You can walk along with your RC card beside you. I hope this review helps to clear what the game is like.
