Ape Escape 3

While I was living in Japan I watched a children's TV program every morning to help improve my Japanese. While this seems like a good idea, the fact that the program featured Ape Escape Cartoons as one of many different 5 minute vignettes lead my Japanese to be...odd. At least I now know what to yell if I ever need to capture escaped monkeys with yellow construction hats with revolving lights on them.

This game is a light, fun, easy platformer. You have to recapture a group of escaped monkeys, they don’t want to be recaptured, hilarity ensues!

A pretty standard game, collect things, unlock new items to help you collect things, jump over things, fight bosses etc.

There is a large and twisted streak of humor twisting through this game, with monkeys dressed up in various strange ways and doing various strange things.

Worth playing for a weekend or so, but not a long-term play.
