Today, we're going to have a look at one of my favorite games from my childhood: Ape Escape, released for the original PlayStation in 1999 and re-released for the PlayStation Portable in 2005 (or 2006 in Europe). It could be viewed as Sony's very own response to Super Mario 64 in terms of 3D platforming, while also taking some inspiration from the legendary Ocarina of Time in certain respects. Ape Escape is very much its own thing, though. The premise is that a bunch of evil monkeys with a high degree of intelligence (under the influence of experimental scientific helmets, that is) escaped from an amusement park, out to dominate the world, and you have to catch them all. The original version is often mentioned for its simultaneous dual analog stick gameplay on the then new DualShock controller, so how does the PSP version stack up with only one analog stick? Also, many early 3D games have fallen victim to the flaw of time, so is Ape Escape overall still even as good as I remember it to be?
