No, it's not revolutionary, but there's enough variety that it never feels monotonous or repetitive. [July 2003, p.54]
The game can be used a classic example of great game design, everything from the levels to the control set-up to the actual game structure is as near to perfection as we could have hoped for.

Ape Escape is a fantastic platformer. Plenty great time sink, gorgeous visuals, feel good soundtrack, what's not to like about it? The controls take a bit to get used to, but once you find your groove... Wave goodbye to many hours of your life. As you can see from the negative reviews, the only people that don't find this game enjoyable are very clearly special needs individuals. I truly hope they get the help they obviously desperately need, and find even a shred of taste along the way.

Let's play monkey soccer! It's the best minigame I've ever played, I wish the monkeys had better variety and the goalie is the worst but I had so much fun playing either with my brother or in the single player that it didn't matter, I still play to this day (2019) Also the main game of catching monkeys is fun too I guess

The learning curve of Ape Escape 2 is damn near perfect... If you’re looking for top-flight platform entertainment then you really cannot go wrong with Ape Escape 2, it’s brilliant.
Ape Escape 2 just hooked me by being just plain fun while being different and original from today’s generic platform games.
Oh and it has monkeys in it.
A fun and addictive game.
The game isn’t really innovative, and it won’t wow anyone. But at the end of the day, you’ll find yourself still laughing about how the health meter cookies have the Japanese word for “monkey” on them as well as the subtle joke behind Pierrot the clown monkey.
Colourful, charming, frequently funny and most importantly, fun to play. It’s not the biggest or hardest game, but the good controls, pleasing visuals and wonderful monkeys make it worth any platform fans time.
Ape escape 2 is the first and foremost reason why I am the person who I am today. I used to be like Arlo and get nervous whenever I saw a rabbit hopping across my room but as I inserted the DVD into my ps2 I felt a rush of testosterone gush through my veins. I couldn't imagine how in depth this game actually was until I hit the start button, there's more apes in this game than there are Xbox ones even sold, and the fluid controls made the experience all the most better. Buy this game or I'll buy it for you.
