    This is a sorry excuse for a video game. Everytime I see my screen I puke and get hives. the doctors thought it was an allergic reaction, but it was ape escape 3 for the playstation 2. Curse this game as I spit on it's grave. The only good thing this game has done for me is let me miss school because I was too busy puking 4 gallons of butter

    By far the most slickly produced and gorgeously rendered version of the series, the pacing this time around is even more fluid than its predecessors – less an open-ended matter of hide and seek, and more focused on the stylish, dramatic pursuit and capture that its TV and silver-screen themes would seem to require. [Oct 2005, p.89]
  2. The "GO-GO-TURBO Japanese cheerleaders on speed" mood and shallow, stupid puzzles are the sort of thing shut-in "Naruto" fans thrive on, but I found them irritating. Thankfully, it was short. [Feb 2006, p.108]

    The main game, even in it`s short life, will provide enough entertainment for those who love this quirky, unique series for what it is: unabashed fun. [JPN Import]
