The Ape Escape series has been great from the start. This game is even better than the first two and I would highly recommend it to adults and children alike.

It's good to see a game out on the market that has a sense of humor to it and isn't so violent. Parents can buy this game for their child of any age and not have to worry about them seeing content not suited for their age.

I'm 25 and I love this game. It's very easy for anyone to pick up as the gameplay is not all that complicated - though you do use every button on the PS2 controller.

And who doesn't love monkeys?

Graphics: A (Nice clean animation)
Sound: B (It's cheeky music)
Difficulty: Easy (Don't worry, there are tons of levels and monkeys to capture)
Enjoyment: A

Overall: A+

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Ape Escape 3 (Video Game)

Ape Escape 3 is overall a really fun game. I haven't played the last one (Ape Escape 2) in a while, but I think this one is a little better. One thing is that I thought the new "morph gear" thing was a little off. Transforming wasn't something I'd expect in an Ape Escape game, and it didn't seem to fit in (although it is kinda fun and helpful).The mini game Mesal Gear Solid is awesome! I command you to play it! (I haven't beat it yet)

Look Im 20 years old and i never would have thought chasing monkeys wit nets, have them be inside costumes, and doing crazy antics would make for such a fun game.....Ive been a fan of the series since the beginnning, The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because the game has not created something new and original to compliment the fact you have to catch monkeys.....I think wat keeps the game alive is the control scheme that was implemented, the funny things the monkeys do, and the ways we use the gadgets within the game.... Hope fully if they come out with an Ape Escape 4 that reinvents a few things to make the game more hilariously fun.....
Nonetheless it is an excellent game to play by urself and wit kids to have a nice time.....Damn munkies are funny!
