Summary: Very cute game
Comment: Ape escape 3 pits you against Specter, a devious monkey plotting to take over the world. You must capture his tiny minions using a net, defeat several bosses, and then defeat the evil Specter.

Overall the game is very nice for young kids (mine, age 5, loves it). The game play is straightforward and the mechanics are simple. There are many different costumes that give the player special abilities, and these are also fun. There are some monkeys, and most of the bosses, that are too difficult or scary for beginners to face alone. This gives parents an opportunity to share gaming with their kids, though I wish there was a way to skip the bosses or turn down the monkey aggression.

I also liked it because there is a strong female lead character, so rare in games.

There is some violence directed at the monkeys and their attack robots, but no blood, killing, etc. Some of the costumes for Yumi, the female lead, are shockingly sexist. Little kids won't notice, but it doesn't help, either. If I have to put up with the sexism to get my daughter to like gaming, I shall (for now). She's inspired by Yumi and loves to imagine that she is going to defeat me, the evil Specter.

Summary: Fun but maybe not for true gamers...
Comment: One of the things I like best about this game is that you use the controls different then most other games of this type and that alone can pose a new and interesting challenge. The only negative thing I can say about this game is the cut scenes are a little too long, the boss battles are very easy once you find out the secrets to destroy them and sometimes constant changing of gadgets can slightly put a drag on play time. Overall this is a good game that will hold your interest. It is a GREAT game for kids (9 and up), maybe not really young first timers, as they may have trouble figuring out which item to use at which time. It can pose enough challenge to be fun for anyone, the mini games are fun as well. I recommend getting cheats to find the hidden rooms for the last morph.

Summary: Cute game with lots of actions!
Comment: This is really a fun game! I personally have been a RPG gamer for as long as I can remember ever since I started playing video games. Therefore I am used to plots and story lines and over 60 hours of continuous game play. This game offered me a whole new experience of gaming, and it is absolutely great! It is cute, creative, and so much fun to play. You get to run after many different kinds of monkeys in many different environments. There're surprises in lots of scenes. The scenery changes at every level so you don't ever feel like you're doing the same thing! This game is definitely one for all ages. Highly recommended for video gamers out there who are looking for a fun gaming experience!

Summary: Pretty fun
Comment: The reason I like the game is because its challenging and its fun to try out!! Its kind of for beginners but well you'll evntually start getting into it by the 2nd boss!! It takes a lot of skill to beat the monkeys because some keep hitting you until your lifes are out!! Its really cool but start with the first game.The reason I did not like this game as much as I thought I would is because the controllers that you use in the game are not natural. Such as using the R1 button to jump or the right analog stick to capture the monkeys and use the gadgets. In the end you'll get use to it but you'll have to spend lots of time in the training room to get used to types of buttons you use. Another reason is, is that once you finish the game the game it gets boring. You capture the monkeys over and over again but yet it gets more boring as you go along the game. In overall I give this game a 5 star rating!! But I had to take one off because of the bad part of the game. So the average rating is 4 stars!!!

Summary: Ape Escape 3
Comment: 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)
