100This is one of those games that just screams out fun whenever you play, even though technically apes aren't the same as monkeys. An absolutely essential part of any platform fan's collection.

This awesome platformer makes use of the Dual Shock in creative ways. [Mar 02, p.34]

95The best 3D platform game on the PlayStation. Hands down. It's not only innovative, it digs deep into the analog control's inherent movements and brings out a breadth of fantastic gameplay elements that are unique to the game.

Employs the most effective and rewarding controls ever developed for a platform-action game... An instant classic.

90Quite basically, this game rocks... Plus it lives up to the peak level of story, animation, and performance that is expected from an adventure game these days, so it isn't just sitting back on its new control's gimmick value.

90A refreshing twist on one of the oldest genres.

The right stick control feels truly intuitive and you'll wonder why you haven't used it more often.

83If there was some more powerful hardware behind it, some more tweaking done to the control, and a little more variety in the gameplay (capturing monkeys for over 30 something levels can get tedious) it would have made this a definite A game.

80If you're starved for a platformer you'll find plenty to do here, but personally, I'm content to let the apes run free. For now.

75Ape Escape borrows too heavily from games on other systems and doesn't deliver enough to help it stand out beyond the Mario clones flooding the market.
