Ape Escape 2

"Escape the Ape in you!!"

Back when the Playstation was in its prime Ubi Soft came out with a game called Ape Escape. That game was one of many great games in its genre along with another great game Spyro. People thought that this game was one of a kind especially being the only game at the time that used both analog controllers. Even after I finished the first game I was hoping for a come back. Then Ubi finally came out with its sequal which even topped the original.

When Ubi made this game they carried over alot of stuff from the original along with tons of new feautres. The game its self will have people playing it for hours on end. I remember when I first rented this game the day it came out I was totally hooked. Not only will gamers be trying to find the over 200+ monkeys that are in the game, players will also be playing the incredible three new mini games that are also tucked in. The game doesnt have a limit to playing it so once players finish the game they will still be playing it just to find all the hidden stuff.

The graphics are tremendously done and each of the 20 levels feel as though you are actually in the level. Everything, from the monkeys to the bosses actually look real. The enjoyment you will get alone from this game will mainly come from the graphics.

The controls in this game are very much like the first game where you make use of both analog controls. Since I havent played the first Ape Escape in a while I had to get used to using both analog controls, but once players get used to the controls they will feel very comfortable after an hour or so.

Playing this game can be very addicting trust me I know. I spent hours on end trying to collect all the art, soundtracks, and everything just to get a hundred percent. Players even after finishing this game will want to go back and get everything this game has to offer. You truly wont be finished with this game even after you have beat it.

This game is a very fun, and semi-challenging experience and those who are old and new to the Ape Escape games will love this game. This game is definately a buy. But for those who are unsure about the game should go ahead and rent it and I guarantee you will not be disappointed
