  • Summary: Specter and the monkeys are back and determined to rule the world Under Specter's command, the mischievous monkeys are taking control of your television and airing programming that will cloud the mind of anyone who watches. Heroes Kei and Yumi dash through the TV studios capturing monkeys just as their outrageous shows hit the airwaves. Help us stop this primetime primate invasion! Morph into unique characters to progress through game levels and discover hidden areas. Transform into a ninja, a ghun slinging cowboy, kung fu fighter, a dragon slayer knight and more. Enjoy a hilarious storyline as the monkeys hijack the broadcast world from familiar drama and sports broadcasting to variety shows and even infomercials. Monkey AI is smarter, more varied and tougher! Monkeys can dodge player attacks and retreat as well as counterattack by disarming players and then using the captured weapons on them. Utilize innovative gadgets and weapons - including radar sweep and hoop attacks. Hunt down those pesky monkeys with drivable vehicles, including a crafty tank, powerboat and sports car.

    This is the best and most spirited of the Ape Escapes, which is faint praise if you're only familiar with the recent half-assed PSP version. [Apr 2006, p.91]

    When you realize that a mini-game is better than the actual game, it kinda sends off signals that something is a little bit wrong.

    The monkeys are running free again and they're making stupid tv show (though you don't need monkeys for that!) You are the only one who can stop them ! Take your net and catch those funny and colorfull monkeys! Swing your net , drive cars ,make movies and read your horoscope.Everything about this game is good , except the gadgets , you have TOO much of them. Still a funny and pleasant game.… Expand
