One of my favourites from my childhood, the unique control scheme was truly ground-breaking. I've been wanting to play this again for years, hopefully I'll finally get to play it on PC!
My late cousin gifted me this game when I was 12. I didn't think much of it because it didn't seem all that interesting to me. Nevertheless, I booted it up on my playstation 2, and I'll never forget it. I found myself playing the entire rest of that night. And the following week. I even 100% completed it by the end of the month. It was genuinely one of the best platforming games I ever played, and after that, I played Ape Escape 2 and then later Ape Escape 3. I'll never forget how she introduced me to this game and it's a key memory for me regarding her. Whenever I was down or bored, I would boot up the game and smile the whole time. I want to have that feeling again, with all three Ape Escape games. I want to remember my childhood. Remember how to escape and find joy in the little things. I want to spend hours catching apes and collecting coins and cookies. I want to use the fun little gadgets they gave you every world. I want to fight Specter again. I want to do so much again.
I'm dreaming about play this game again! Me and my brothers had great moments with this story... Spike is one of the best characters of all times!! Please, bring it back to us! :D
Please, for the love of all that is holy and banana. PLEASE. I just want to be able to play ape escape again!!
maybe if we give it enough love sony execs will notice and give us what we want with a new game
I used to play this often as a kid I memorized all the lines by heart, and I love this game so much. Its the game that got my brother into the series as well, and he loves it so much he speedruns it every year. I think this game would be great for others to experience that don't have a Playstation. A classic that is under loved!
I remember playing this with my brothers when I was just a little kid. We had received a demo for it in a game catalogue then bought the full game later. I remember it was hard for me to play since I was so young, but I would enjoy finally beating it after all these years!
Always wanted to play this game, but since this game requires analog movement, I wasn't able to play this on emulator. So here it is, I have never played this game, but I have heart about this game series, also I have watched sequel longplays, so I'm more or less familiar with this game series. If this game will be released here. I will finally be able to play this game here with normal controls. That will be awesome.
I remember watching someone play an Ape Escape game, I think on the PS2...? That was years ago when I was a kid... I forgot the name of the game but always wanted to play it. Searched for it for years but never got the chance. I finally found it again a couple years ago. I would love to finally be able to play it on the PC! ...and have it on GOG too. I would be surprised if it made it here but I would be overjoyed. It seemed like such a fun game and a unique idea. The way you could capture apes with a small net is funny. One of the most hilarious things was being able to chase a large pink ape/gorilla into a tiny little cage that it could clearly step over but it never did. I miss games like this & Fur fighters. For the sake of fun! Please bring this here, I would buy it immediately or any game in this series if there are mutiple.
Aside from being wildly fun with a whimsical atmosphere, fun puzzle platforming and exploration, and a banger of a soundtrack, this game basically pioneered motion control in a sense, with it's innovative use of the dualshock controller analog sticks used to actually swing your weapons, a mechanic that was imitated and echoed in the very first Monster Hunter game! Ape Escape is a blast all on it's own, but it's also a vital piece of modern gaming DNA!
