About this product

Product Information

It all started when a curious monkey named Specter placed the Peak Point Helmet upon his furry head. With newly acquired intelligence, Specter freed his ape pals and activated the Time Station, an invention designed to transport people (or animals) through the far reaches of space and time. <br><br>The power-hungry Specter has plans for world domination, and he's going to change history to ensure his species remains in power. The fate of the world now rests in the hands of two of the Professor's most trusted assistants, Spike and Jake. Journey back through time to round up the missing apes using the Professor's gadgets, but be careful -- these primates are not going down without a fight.<br><br>Ape Escape is the first PlayStation game that requires the Dual Shock Analog Controller in order to play. This is because control of the main character is performed using both analog sticks; the left stick moves the character, while the right stick controls one of the gadgets. Players begin with a Stun Club and Time Net, but more inventions will be available for later levels, including Monkey Radar, a Water Net, Slingback Shooter (a slingshot) and even a remote-controlled car. Your character can also crouch, crawl, jump, climb and swing from rails.<br><br>The Stun Club is a glowing baton that can temporarily freeze apes or other enemies. Since the right stick handles its movement, you'll be able to swing it in any direction you desire. The Time Net resembles a butterfly net in appearance, and it is the only device that can remove an ape from the playing field. Once the Professor has given you more gadgets, you can freely assign them to any of the four buttons on the face of the controller. Your goal in each level is to capture the minimum number of apes; once you've reached your quota, you'll automatically warp back into the Time Station.<br><br>From the friendly confines of the Time Station, you can select the next stage, play bonus games or monitor your current progress. Players can also practice their moves and gadgets within the Training Room, check out the apes they've captured by reading the Monkey Book, or save their game to a memory card (each save requires one block of space). Completed stages can also be revisited in order to capture additional monkeys, coins or reveal hidden secrets.<br><br>Besides capturing apes, players can also find the following collectibles: Health Cookies (each cookie replenishes one of your five health points); Energy Chips (collect 100 for an extra life); Specter Coins (grant you access to the three bonus games); and a few other items to help you combat the resourceful simians. Curious about the bonus games? Collect ten coins to play "Ski Kidz Racing," twenty coins to play "Specter Boxing," and 40 coins to play "Galaxy Monkey." Each bonus game makes use of both analog sticks and can be played at any time once activated.

The packaging was a little flimsy but was sufficient. The item was of very poor manufacture quality and was not readily apparent in the photo, but, as I told the dealer, Import Games Japan, in my email to them, I did not blame them for that. And though inferior and overpriced, the item is rare and fetches a high price on the market. Since he promptly got back to me and offered me a refund for a return, I kept it anyway and did not want to ding him with a neutral feedback.

    Catch them monkey's!!

    This game is a blast stupid fun chasing around monkey's nwith bad attitudes that don't wanna get caught. They throw banana peels rocks and other things I can't remember. You will need a dual shock controller to play but man is this game fun frustrating and fun again. Get them monkey's. I got a great deal on it but sells pretty high at the moment if you find it get it.

  • Ape Escape Review

    Overview -------- This is an extremely awesome game that deserves an Excellent. It has all the fun of catching monkeys! You use the first analogue stick to control Spike (the character you play as) and the second to use your gadgets that the Proffessor gives to you to help capture the monkeys. Highly Addicting. Story ----- In this game, an ultra-intelligent monkey named Specter puts on a monkey helmet and turns to evil. He now becomes the leader of all the monkeys in an amusement park and has his eyes set on world domination. He and his monkey minions use the Proffesor's Time Machine to travel back in time to change the coarse of history. Spike and Jake get caught in time-travel as well and that's where the game begins. Graphics -------- The stages are very nicely designed. The graphics ...

  • Gone Ape for APE ESCAPE!!

    Who doesn't love monkeys? That's what first drew me to this game. MONKEYS. Monkeys are cute and funny and highly entertaining, right? Wrong - these monkeys are very naughty! They have escaped from an amusement park and in the ensuing chaos discover helmets invented by the Professor to enhance intelligence. But they get to thinking about things a little too much, and decide that they need to go back in time and re-write history from a monkey's point of view. Your mission is to capture every escaped monkey. This is no walk in the zoo - these monkeys DO NOT want to be caught. In later levels some are downright difficult to catch. Spike, the human boy whom you control, must travel through different time periods to capture the monkeys. The Professor has quite an imagination and invents some ...
