The lack of a mid-game save aside, PoA is great fun to play - not only does it have the necessary hook to keep you interested in what happens next, but it manages to perfectly reproduce the atmosphere of the Apes films.
In spite of decent fight graphics and a solid audio track, this PC release manages only minimal intrigue, and game play that stagnates in the dark corridors that play out as the game’s map board.
Hardcore types probably won't care for it, but the more mainstreamers might be interested in a little monkey business.
This is a pretty bad game that has endless sprawling caves as gameplay areas and equally dull gameplay within them.
Whatever redeeming aspects it may have had are marred by a plethora of inconveniences and annoyances that round out boring, repetitive play.
It’s exactly the kind of cookie-cutter movie spin-off we could easily survive without. [Holiday 2001, p.88]
As a game, Planet of the Apes fails utterly. As a skeet target, it succeeds in spades. Someone shout, "Pull!" [May 2002, p.84]
