Editorial Review
What's more fun than a barrel of opposable-thumbed simians? How about the silly--but challenging--Ape Escape? While not the first game to offer enhanced control with Sony's dual-stick analog controller, Ape Escape is the first game to require either an analog or dual shock controller to play. That requirement ensures that players will have full control of their hero, Spike. One stick moves Spike in any direction, while the other swings his monkey-catching devices. In Ape Escape, a circus monkey named Specter stumbles upon a scientist's prototype intelligence-enhancing helmet, turning him into an evil monkey genius. As Spike, the professor's young friend, you must travel through time to clean up all of the monkeys Specter has sent back in his attempt to repopulate the world. If that's not enough to make you laugh, then chasing his goofy monkey minions as they scurry from your clutches will certainly tickle your funny bone. You'll discover a variety of gadgets to help you in your quest, including monkey radar, a slingshot, and a propeller for flying. Spanning 25 huge levels, Ape Escape is approachable for novices, and offers added challenges for veteran gamers. One such challenge is to lure a dinosaur near a rocky cliff, and then jar the monkey off his back and into your net. Note: no monkeys were harmed in the creation of this game. --Jeff Young Pros: - Unique control scheme brings new challenge to the PlayStation
- Massive game has plenty of replay value
Cons: - Unique control scheme requires some ramp-up time

 Monkey Catching Greatness September 15, 2008
Ape Escape is a very VERY fun game. I mean, how many games can you think of that let you hit monkeys WITH A LIGHTSABER? The real fun of Ape Escape comes with just how easy it is. A seasoned platform gamer can blow through the story of this game with just catching the bear minimum of monkeys in about a weekend. Going back and using all the gadgets that you get to capture tougher monkeys is where the game gets its longevity.
If I had to be picky about some things in this game it would have to be the controls. While they were innovative for there time and still are innovative, it will take you a while to get used to using that second analog stick to use your gadgets and R1 to jump.
I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun game that isn't full of blood and gore, swearing or decapitations, etc. Ape Escape would get a 9 out of 10. And now there is no excuse not to buy it since you can get it for less than [...]bucks.
 Video fun May 31, 2007
This game was fun for my kids for a little while, but they quickly grew bored with it.
Awsome game, for a game about monkeys February 10, 2007
This game was so cool it nearly gave me a heart attack... literaly! The mad man none as Specter who puts on blinking red, yellow, and blue helmets with sirens. The blue sirens mean they don't hear or see anything. The yellow sirens is when they hears something. And the red sirens is when they see you or if your chasing them. So Specter put the helmets on them and formed a monkey army to destroy Spike and Jake. And you can get thounsands of Gatcha Gagets and I'm not telling you what they are. And Gatcha coins and Specter Coins. YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME!!! Also play these games Ape escape 2 & Ape escape 3.

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!!!!!
