Ape Escape 3: Making Games Fun Again

User Rating: 8.8 | Ape Escape 3 PS2
FINALLY! A fun game for my PS2. A game that doesn't get insanely difficult after 30 minutes. A game without blood splattering on the walls. A game that, well, makes you glad to be into gaming. That about sums up Ape Escape 3 for me.

This game is perfect for people with real lives, because you can sit down and play most levels in 10 or 15 minutes. The difficulty ramps up at just the right level, and new elements are introduced one by one, so you can learn new skills at a good pace.

The graphics and sounds are excellent, and the themes for each level are really imaginative.

To be fair, I have a couple complaints. The camera control is really, really bad. Luckily, it's more of an annoyance than anything else. Also, it's really hard to figure out how to capture different kind of monkeys. With all the great turorials in the game, I wish they would devote a bit more to that.

But those are small things. Ape Escape 3 is just a great game!
