Ape Escape: On the Loose - 03 - Water Net & Primordial Ooze

[Modificatioification]

My favorite game as a kid. My brother used to own this game as a kid and he spent weeks working on it. Now, the Playstation has been replaced with an XBox and Ape Escape has been replaced with Call Of Duty. This game truly was one of the best games for the Playstation and I am so buying this for my PSP.  I don't care how different the voices sound or how odd the Professor looks, I'm buying this,

With Ape Escape, I've found the old voices to be nostalgic, but I also realize that many didn't fit. Pete Burrows as Specter has only been beaten by Crispin Freeman in Pumped and Primed. Otherwise, the only really good voice that fit was the Professor's. We then have Natalie, who was too high pitched, and Spike and Jake sounded like they were in their late teens when they're supposed to be 10. Casi we didn't hear much of her, but P&P was good for her.

@OmegaWriter1 As for On the Loose, the Professor's voice fits, but I dislike the emphasis and delivery of some of his lines. It just feels awkward. Natalie's voice is a god send from the original, while Spike and Jake are hit and miss. Both fit, but Richard Steven Horvitz is no Spike. Actually, Dan Green fit Spike very well in AE2. Jake's voice is great in the original (despite age suggestion) and the new one, so I'd say both have my approval.

[OmegaWriter1]

@OmegaWriter1 The last voice is Specter's of course. Dee Bradley Baker is more tolerable than the AE3 voice actor, but not as win as Pete Burrows and the lines he delivered in the original. So it may just be the script that screws up Specter in On the Loose rather than the voice itself.

Was that an baby ape?

Who's the green haired girl?

Geeze, I almost forgot how bad nostalgia can get, every part people bitching about voices and minor differences in lines. If you're all just sooooooo heart broken (or butthurt, whichever) here's what you do, you can just play the old game on the original PS1, or go and get a PS1 emulator. There, all the "right" voices just as you remembered from your childhood.

[chaffXgrenade]

@Kth77 I mostly prefer the original, but this one's got its own style to it. Hopefully, if the final version of the PSP2 has two analog sticks, then maybe we can get a proper Ape Escape portable game... :)

[angelaudition0502]

There's an English version of the Saru Getchu P! for PsP?

[DANTEPLYX]

Difference?

Old Ape Escape

''You won't advanced to the next area'

New Ape Escape

''You wont be able to advance to the next level''

[VitaminDerp]

I kinda miss the old "GOTCHA!" when you get an ape.

[mistamontiel]

Ah, and how's the new snowboarding minigame..? And the other two..? Would love to see the animation/graphical improvements. The Ski game back on PS1 was downright hilarity. rofl

[SonicFreak4]

If a good number of games are going to jump on the Retro Remake Bandwagon, they should remake this game as Ape Escape HD while keeping it as close to the PS1 title while enhancing the graphics.

[chaffXgrenade]

@SonicFreak4 I'd sell my soul for an "Ape Escape HD." They might as well remake it. Or at least release Million Monkeys in the US... :P

[TyKun04]

I miss the old voices, especially Spike's ... :(

[Xeranad]

Agreed. Spike's voice was much better in the original. Why didn't they just update the graphics and kept the old audio is beyond me...

[Nanofable123]

brings back memories to bad i lost it im gonna buy it again for the psp a pain but fun it sucks downloading the game enstead buy it the games so fun for the psp

[specter0805]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE cans you tell me what is the name of this emulator and where did you donload the game PLEASE PLEASE

[chaffXgrenade]

I didn't use an emulator. I recorded this directly from my PSP using RemoteJoy Lite and Fraps.

[fareedbakhit]

oh boy this is one of my best level in the original glad they remake this ^-^

[shadow776]

isnt this level called rainy lake on the ps1 version? i swear to god it was, and the music is different too....

[chaffXgrenade]

nope. it's always been Primordial Ooze. and the music is the same, it's just a little bit "remixed."

[Monkeychild41]

Do you not just fucking love this soundtrack?

And I don't really like the dialogue change. A new gadget is ALMOST ready? If so why are you being given it?

And it'd make more sense if the Professor said without training, it'd be too dangerous to move on, like in the original.

Putting these aside, this game was perfect, even for a remake.

[chaffXgrenade]

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that this IS the most kickass soundtrack EVER! :D

Maybe the Professor is letting Spike test prototype gadgets so he can eventually mass-produce them and sell them to the military...

[DeathsRetribution]

the song that got me into drum n bass =)

[chaffXgrenade]

I know what you mean. pretty much the ENTIRE soundtrack to this game got me into dnb. :D

[micheal4678]

Whats your favorite game?

[micheal4678]

What was your favorite cartoon show?

[chaffXgrenade]

too many favorites to name just one.

but I probably liked "Megas XLR" the most.

[micheal4678]

Do they still show toonami on cartoonetwork?

[chaffXgrenade]

no, it's been gone for a while now.

one more reason why I don't watch CN anymore... :(

[micheal4678]

Brings back memories.

[chaffXgrenade]

Same here.

I remember first hearing about the original in a Toonami promo xD
