Very fun game. My only gripe is that controls feel very dated, but that is what to expect from ps1 game. Plat is also easy and fun - it doesn't overstay its welcome.

A PS1 Classic that is still a blast to go through after all those years. Oh, and we owe this game for introducing the DualShock to the world, with it's analog sticks.

Ape Escape is a 3D Platformer, created by Sony Computer Entertainment, and released in 1999.

It is a game about catching apes, and somehow it manages to be very fun despite janky controls (which I don't mind, I have mastered jank).

The game is short yet sweet, and the Platinum is not difficult in the slightest. It's a pretty good time even if you don't use the rewind feature.

The only flaw this game has is that it does feel dated in a lot of sections, but it doesn't mean it becomes playable. It feels good to play and control despite all that.

I like this game, but it's not my favorite Ape Escape game, that goes to the sequel.
