Trivia
This was the first PlayStation game that actually required the Dual Shock Analog Controller because players needed the analog sticks for movement and action of the player character. The left analog stick is for movements while the right analog stick performs an action with a Gadget.

800 stars out of 5

From the minute I popped this game into my ol' grey PlayStation, i fell in love. It's disturbingly bright and cheery colors, mixed with it's chipper and lovable cast of characters entices me and others who appreciate some originality and depth in a video game.

The graphics are great for it's time, with few signs of cutting corners on behalf of the programmers. The characters are uniquely designed, but the voice acting is deplorable and leaves much to be desired. The controls are amazing, and I'm surprised not as many people liked them. Sony had a great idea in implementing the Dual Shock-only feature that this game supports. The monkeys themselves are lovable, and downright impossible to resist.

All-in-all, this is my favorite game of all time. Sony has a beautiful masterpiece with this game, and I can't wait until Ape Escape 2! I give this game 800 stars out of 5, receiving my highest rating ever.
