    Ape Escape is quite funny, but the gameplay is too repetitive and boring to keep you motivated.

    A disappointing game, that although succeeds in being a game for all types of public, is too repetitive and has a very limited cooperative gameplay.

    Short, boring and not very inspired. This is exactly what we feared about Move: a rerun of Wii's worst mistakes.

    Not even nicely suited apes are able to save this repetitive, visually obsolete and boring game. You better get drunk before trying this ape hunt. [Issue#207]

    The original Ape Escape was charming and innovative, but this entry is as basic as motion gaming gets. What really hurts is that there's no reason why Ape Escape couldn't have been the game to take the waggle genre to the next level, if only it had a bit more passion behind it.

    I am really surprised why you have rated this game so low.

Of course it is not a must-have production, but just an entertainment to fulfill short time. Yes, the goals are almost the same, but I could really enjoy 20-30 minute`s sessions with Ace Escape. If you don`t predict a lot from that game, you can be surprised how much fun it it gonna give you. I paid for that about 3000JPY, which means about 28 USD and I do not regret. I am sure I will be back to Ace Escape after tiring day at work or during relaxing days at home for make me a good mood.… Expand

    La saga de Ape Escape siempre ha innovado, sido divertida y dando libertad al jugador para cazar a los monos. Este juego de PlayStation MoveLa saga de Ape Escape siempre ha innovado, sido divertida y dando libertad al jugador para cazar a los monos. Este juego de PlayStation Move es aburrido. Lo unico que haces alrededor de unos cuantos niveles es mover la red con el mando move para cazar a los monos, tambien puedes usar un tirachinas y un aspirador reuniendo baterias para atrapar a todos los monos de una vez, los graficos son buenos, pero que no os engañe; la jugabilidad es simple, la camara se mueve de forma automatica y tu solo mueves el mando move de forma casi aleatoria por que el juego es muy facil, y, en general, se hace repetitivo y aburrido, ademas de practicamente nada rejugable.… Expand

    PlayStation move ape escape is a perfect example of a franchise killer. the cast is forgettable, the gameplay is repetitive, the side contentPlayStation move ape escape is a perfect example of a franchise killer. the cast is forgettable, the gameplay is repetitive, the side content is a joke, and the story even for ape escape is pathetic. There has yet to be a brand new ape escape game as of now and this game is why. It fails as a on rails shooter, it fails as it's own thing, it fails HARD as an ape escape game, it just fails. What really boils my blood is that this game doesn't get talked about all that much, you hear about nuts and bolts, you hear about metal gear survive, you hear about Tony hawk ride/shred/pro skater 5. But you don't hear about this game for some reason. Ape escape 4 is something I've waited for so long. But it looks like I'll have to keep waiting.… Expand
