I think that most of the hate for this game comes from people that played the other Ape Escape games in their childhoods and,,this is not the Ape Escape i wanted!” Or there are some people simply hating it because it is not a ,,proper” reboot or just because it uses the PlayStation Move which most Americans hate but now to the review and i’m gonna talk about the negatives and positives, first starting with the negatives. The story mode is too short, even for a 20$ dollar game it’s just too short, even though the game is quite tough and you might replay some levels that’s not a lot of content. The hidden monkey placements (there are 2 in each level) are practically impossible to find without a guide (which there is like…one) and the places are so random it’s just pretty dumb. The calibration in this game is very hit-or-miss or basically it works when it wants to which makes it frustrating when there’s a big waves of ape’s incoming. While i like the art style some of these graphics are just too damn simple. There are 3 mingames with 3 stages per each type of minigame. There is one where you steer a kart with an ape in it and not only it’s horrible to control it’s super boring, the other one is freezing the ape’s with your…freeze spray i guess to not fall on the upcoming obstacles also really boring since the ape’s mostly don’t run. While catching the fake Specter’s is a cool concept at the end of each level not only it is poorly executed, it’s piss easy and just straight up boring. Now let’s get to the good stuff: While i’m playing the PL (polish) dubbing of the game the voice acting is great! I absolutely love the stunning anime cutscenes while some scenes might look off or even the artstyle make them kind of ugly it’s super smooth and high-quality. The level design while for the first 1/4 of the game it is really boring then it gets really creative with all of the time eras and enemies, and monkeys everything! There is a lot type of monkeys and especially with how they behave no matter what monkey it is it will always act different than the last one! I very like using the gadgets from the standard slingshot and net to a banana laser and a…monkey vacuum. I think that the end level is absolutely great with the biggest madness but i won’t spoiler that in a non spoiler review ;) There’s the monkeypedia which counts every single monkey you caught there’s like 30 monkeys per page all with unique animations and quotes while there are 37 PAGES. You can record your own line when you catch a monkey through the PlayStation’s Eye cameta microphone…it’s great. I didn’t mention 1 out of the 3 minigames because i actually pretty like this one, it’s a fun time waster you are a sniper monkey and you have only one look at 3 ape’s that you have to shoot within a time frame and amount of bullets. The place is crowded with constantly moving ape’s all over the islands so yeah it’s pretty fun. Anyways that’s really it, everyone please just try it even the frickin’ demo that is on the PlayStation Store. I think it’s a great game it’s not very VERY good or some hidden gem but it’s another well crafted game from our fellow Sony’s Japan Studio.

i liked it it was very fun to play, Ape escape is so good of a series, why is this rated low?

What can one say about PlayStation move ape escape that no one, ape escape fan or not has already said about it before? Let's just say that there's a reason why this game killed the ape escape series.
