Helga , the previous champion, is on an important mission to find a disk based on her father 's research hidden in the prize trophy. Pipo Monkeys also join the duel to win the tournament under Specter 's command. Mysterious Pipotrons join the tournament as well, looking for the same disk.
The contestants find Jake , who promised to join the tournament with Spike but went under Specter's control. Jake then battles against the other characters three times in different styles on his motorbike, the last battle being against Dark Jake. Specter fights the heroes in his Goliath -robot, also three times.
On the third battle against Dark Specter , the Goliath is fused to a battleship. At the end of the tournament, the Pipotrons either steal the trophy or win it fairly and discover the disk. The Pipotrons then give it to a super computer virus called Grid Core who plans to conquer the world.
Once he has the disk, the villain decided that the regular three Pipotrons were useless and left them on their own.
Grid Core introduces the new Virus-Tech Tournament, where the characters are fighting for their very lives while getting closer to Grid Core.
Along the way they go against Super Pipotrons who are times more powerful than the original ones as well as metallic copies of themselves and the Pipotrons.
When the heroes reach Grid Core, they defeat him, and the virtual world turns back to normal. The games include arena battling with either melee- or ranged weapons, foot racing while using Sky Fliers and collecting coins, underwater battles using submersibles, tank fights, racing R. Every character has their own equivalent to the usual gadgets.
You cannot play against bosses or in the Virus-tech World in Versus mode, and you can only use up to four gadgets in mini-games that allow them.
Doing exceptionally well in mini-games wins prizes from fans, which are monkeys from previous Ape Escape games. These can be equipped in the Customization Mode for every character excluding Jake, but are separated per character. Gaining the prizes for one character does not unlock them for every character.
The Summons are used to help you win battle mini-games and use up some of the special bar when activated. The developers set out to devise a game tailor-made for Dual Shock, and they've succeeded brilliantly. Control is spot-on for all of AE's massive variety of gameplay styles, gadgets and mini-games. AE deserves high marks for showing new ways to use the Dual Shock. I'm hoping other developers will pay attention.
As you may or may not know, I love primates. But this didn't affect my score in any way. It is filled with insanely fun gameplay, similar to the kind found in titles from the olden days of 8- and Bit gaming. It does have a few problems: Slowdown in some areas, an imperfect camera and some crappy dialogue in cinemas.
Still, the game is a blast. It's great to see a game that really takes advantage of the Dual Shock. Once you've got the hang of doing several things at once rowing the boat is weirdly difficult you'll wonder how you ever managed with other control systems.
The level design in Ape Escape is superb If you can tolerate the crap music and cutesy look, Ape Escape is definitely worth a look. Innovations in Bit games are tough to come by nowadays, but Sony's new Ape Escape squeezes some freshness out of 3D platformers with a unique interface. Unfortunately, some twists are better left, er, untwust? Ape Escape hurtles you through time on a quest to trap the super-intelligent monkey henchmen of Specter, who plans to use the simian smart-asses to take over the world.
Apes large levels feature portals with minimal loading time, yet, despite impressive lighting effects and realistic textures, this monkey's visuals are spanked by frequent clipping and frustrating camera movement.
Apes shrieking monkeys are the highlight of the stereo sound; they also help you locate danger and prey. Otherwise, Apes minimal dialogue, been-there, heard-that sound effects, and mildly energetic score are all adequate.
Apes coolest feature--an interface that fully utilizes both analog sticks on the Dual Shock controller--is also its Achilles' heel.
When used in concert, the dual sticks allow you to attack in any direction, spin or swipe your weapons, and realistically maneuver rowboats, tanks, or skis.
Unfortunately, the game control is cumbersome and frustrating thanks to diabolical synchronization chores and the aforementioned camera problems. Ape has some features--particularly the unlockable mini-games, like skiing and boxing--that put it above the average bit platformers, but its unique interface is more frustrating than refreshing.
Unless you're ambidextrous. Ape Escape will be a monkey on your back. Ape Escape looks like total monkey madness. A once harmless simian accidentally dons an intelligence-enhancing helmet. Now he's evil and is sending his monkey minions back in time to turn Earth into the planet of the apes. As Spike, the boy hero, you'll hunt banana burners through 21 levels across seven time periods.
Mastering these gadgets will be the key to the game. The main tool is a monkey net, but Spike also swings a lightsaber, fires a slingshot with sniper targeting , operates a handheld Monkey Radar, and more.
You'll need all this stuff and a Hula-Hoop for real to snare the fleet-footed, sneaky apes and to fight the vicious animals that range from stinging insects to ferocious dinosaurs. So far, Ape appears imaginative and zany. Zapping monkeys back down the evolutionary scale just might be a great ape-scape. Browse games Game Portals. Ape Escape. Install Game.
