    I tried to get into this game, but I just couldn't. It's got a unique way of playing the mini games, but a lot of the mini games aren't that fun. Some are, but from what I played, most aren't and they kept repeating as you progress so you see a lot of the same ones over and over. Not that that's always a bad thing, but like I said, most aren't that good.

    Ape Academy tries to ape Nintendo's brilliant "Wario Ware" –series, but fails almost completely. There are 47 different mini games, and most of them are not that good. That combined with frustratingly long loading times make this a game easily forgotten. [Sept 2005, p. 67]

    The gameplay is painfully repetitive and uninspired, and a vast majority of the mini-games just aren't fun; they say that your schooldays are the happiest of your life - but whoever said that couldn’t have been taught at the Ape Academy.

    Apart from the slow loading times, this is one of the best games on PSP. [PSM2]
