    The apes are charismatic and the storyline is passable, but this interactive drama tie-in forgets to find a role to cast the player in.

Since it can be played with multiple people making choices it adds a bit to the "game" part. The story was enjoyable and having multiple people invested in deciding choices really helped pull you in.
