My daughter is 13 with many game systems and loads upon loads of games. I put this in her stocking for Christmas and she spent an hour at it and then gave it to a neighbor. It was the most boring, primitive in graphics and action game I've seen in a long time. Pretty poor. It wasn't worth $20..not even $10. Bleh. I recommend SKATE for a great action-packed game for younger teenagers with no violence or anything bad to influence your child. Lots of fun. I'd skip this one ..no RUN right by it...

It was horrible! The controlls were hard to use. It wasn't that fun. Don't buy it!

Fun and Challenging

When I first got my PSP I got this game and two others. I noticed that this game is identical to the ape escape game for the PS1(except for the online play).The veiw is very hard. Since the PSP only has one analog nub you have to steer Spike (the main charecter) with the nub and you must change the veiw with the arrows, so when a monkey goes around a cornner you must stop, change your veiw and then keep on running which slows the time it takes to catch the monkey. Also the loading times are very LOOOOOOOOOONG. On the first level I waited two to three minutes for a one to two minute level. But the farther in to the game the longer the level. The graphics are very good for having a varaily small screen on the PSP. All of the controls are harder than other ape escape games but that makes the levels longer and more challenging. If you don't like hard, time consumming games this game is not or you. Overall its fun but very hard to master.

Fun but easy

I have another ape escape game but the analog stick made it too easy. I finished it in 3 days (the ps2 version) this one took a month but I still thought it was easy. Most of the month I spent getting the extra stuff.

It sucks!

Do not get me wrong. I am never more delighted than when I find a fun actionpacked, creative and intuitive platformer. Any mario game will do. Ape Escape could not be worse. Terrible graphics, terrible control, boring gameplay. Did the developers decide thay were going to be creative by developing a game that threw out all of the core mechanics of a great platformer?

Bottom Line: Skip this one. Is it fun? Not at all. Will I keep it? Nope. Is it for kids? Well, it has monkeys but that is about it.

Good Game, Crappy Port

This game was a good game for the Playstation and the controls relied on using two analog sticks. The PSP has only one analog stick. The makers of this game just slapped together a port and half-assed the controls. So it's really difficult to play the game and catch monkeys. Don't buy this game for the PSP, look for it for Playstation.

the monkeys are so hard to catch! the graphics are good though. i recommend not to buy this game unless you like to chase monkeys for a long time. some times its hard and you keep dying and it makes you frustrated. and another thing to play minigames you need a lot of coins which is hard to get. and everything takes a long time to load. i would recommend wipeout pure, twisted metal headon and coded arms.

easy, obsessive and fast paced

I have had this game for less than two days. already i am 45% through w/ story mode. The gameplay is the easiest its ever been. It is much easier too play on PS2 b/c of the grip analog stick but overall its still fun. At times there are glitched and that can frustrate you when it comes to cathching monkeys.

MINIGAMES
- the minigames are really fun but in order to play the mini games you need a certian amount of specter coins. 10 will get you snowboarding. 20 will get you boxing(my favorite) 30 gets you an obsticle course and 40 gets you ping pong. You cannot play these games multiplayer unless you play w/ another person who also owns a psp.

GRAPHICS
-the graphics are very good. remember its a psp 4 inch screen. the monkeys are very simple and jake(main character is designed well as well.

GAMEPLAY
- this is probaly the wasiest game ive ever played in my life. so if you're looking for a hard game that will take more than a week to beat, i suggest sumtin else. Thats why i bought ape escape used i knew id be done quickly. also when playing for a long time your fingers and palms become sweaty which makes you lose control of the joystick. OVERALL GREAT GAME

a good game

One of my favorite psp games at the launch. The graphics feel like a mix between ape escape 1 and 2, but i liked them. You weill have hours of fun with this game. Even though it is on the short side and is reletivly easy to beat, the mini games will keep it going, and with the multiplayer it will have a healthy life in your pocket. My advice is to take a look at this game, it is easy to learn to play. Even if you don't like this franchise, and you have a psp don't keep this game in the dark.
