  • This game has no flaws!!!

  • these days i thought the graphics were good :D

  • i want it on my phone :(

  • 2 was better. 3 was just as good.

    psp version is crap.

  • Good times.. good times

  • Oh no, nostalgia is getting the better of me! Honestly one of the best games I've played =)

  • My childhood game:)<3

  • lol at the gex series you horny little gecko

  • Ape Escape 1 > Ape Escape 2 > Ape Escape 3

  • Can't believe so many people still watch this old video... yet nobody looks up time attack world records (that I hold most of). >:O

  • Gee,sorry how ps1 control standards arent up to todays control standards...

    This guy is ruining my fucking childhood

  • @JordMcDrummer no theres a difference he's just a hater who grew up with crud games, we realize that ps1 games controls arnt amazing but they were intuitive for the time(depending on the game that is)

  • Listen, man, FUCK you and your geometric buttons! This game was the SHIT! Honestly, probably the best video game I've ever played- to this day!

    Nah, sorry for the outburst, but I gotta defend my own, ya hear me?

    No hard feelings, aiight?

  • bet he would say ape escape 3 is better than the original

  • ive still got it :D

    

  • I miss this game :(

  • i was playing this when i was 4 years 9old now i am 14 and i cry

  • Aha, I've just been replaying this on a PSX emulator. Top game!

  • I don't understand how the narrator could harp on the controls - the whole point of this game existing was to promote usage of the analog sticks. While some actions were tough to pull off, they were intentional - this isn't supposed to be a cakewalk.

  • omg the voice acting in this game is horrible

  • @tigawv it is, but it's the kind that's so-bad-it's-good. in a game that's as nonsensical and wacky as this, the terrible voices actually add to the atmosphere.

  • WOW I miss playing this game REMAKE :D

  • This game is unique in everyway.My favorite game of all time cant compare new games to it.

  • I MISS THIS GAME D:

  • I used to play this with my sister on PSP 5 years ago. Tbh it was a very good game back then.

  • cool just like on tv but on PS3

  • i play this game i haven´t 6 years and i lover this games when i have my ps1..

  • I still play this game...It's that good

  • 10*

  • ffs.. this was like 1 years ago? stfu.. this was an amazing game back in the day and now

  • i think the controls were flawless. The analogs work perfectly, and it was so helpful being able switch through the gadget at anytime (during a jump for example). This is my favourite 3d-platformer ever!, yes, even better than Mario Galaxy. The soundtrack was also a huge inspiration for my musical taste, and made me discover music like jungle and techno.

  • This is gaming in the good old days

  • What's better then catching monkeys with a butterfly net

  • zelda doesnt use geometric bouttons and is not on ps1!

  • i just found this game buried deep within my closet. i havent played it since i was 6 years old back in 1999.

    now im going to go re live some memories

  • I have this game d-bag!

  • Me and my brother used to love this game when we were kids.... :) oh the nostalgia

  • navgtr....Don't...ever let me....catch you saying....Ape Escape is flawed...or I will beat you so damn hard.... that you would shit bricks....ok, i'm done with slow talk now.

  • o my god i loved this game 

  • remember when i bought this game from a mall we went to when we were comin home from a vacation my cousin thought he was sonic the hedgehog

  • this game ruled so much

  • Focusing too much on userfriendly controls, the controls in this game what makes it challenging yo

  • this game is my childhood!

  • If i Had a bullet for every bad review this man does, i would be fucking loaded.

  • 1st of all the controls and camera arent bad (you probably just suck) 2nd what the hell does spyro have to do with ape escape

  • thumps up if you wanna Remak on PS3

  • @AYYAII1422 Forget the remake, I want a proper sequel !

  • I loved this game so much when I was a kid!

  • bad controls? whoever says that? i became an expert at this game growing up with these controls :)

  • COUGH SNAKE VERSUS MONKEY COUGH.

  • i loved the controls

  • Comment removed

  • Also this video has made me realize why some games are for kids only. Adults spend more time picking games apart rather than actually playing them.

  • This game brings out the kid in me :)

  • they should put this game on psn

  • @SSBBaddict

    well if you had a ps3, hey are gonna make a game of it but not part 1

    and if you have a psp, you can just get the game called "Ape Escape: On the Loose" its a remake of the first part but slightly diffrent

  • @jomsky123 isnt On the Loose just the one with a bunch of minigames? and any idea when the ps3 one is suposed to come out? if it's like the ape escape games then it's definately going on my "to get" list

  • @SSBBaddict

    Well "on the loose" is a REMAKE of part one!

    the one your talking about is "Ape Escape Academy" and "Ape Academy 2" (which the game that contains minigames)

    well there is a PS3 version released its called "Ape Escape on the Move" which you need a PS3 move controller and there is a "Ape Escape 4" but not yet announced.

  • that monkey breeder betrayed everyone...hence Ape Escape 2 and 3...

  • WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE GAME IN 0:06?!

  • @cosmicaler Battle Toads

  • I'M GOING FOR IT!

  • the only thing that sucks about this game is the voice acting :/

  • Ape Escape was an amazing game ;D

  • The guy talking needs to shut the fuck up.

  • The controls MADE this game so amazingly epic. That and, yknow, it's fucking monkeys.

  • what is the title of the game in 0:05?

  • @cosmicaler battletoads in battlemaniacs for super nintendo entertainment system

  • WOW SPOILER MUCH?

  • Shit this looks like a total rip off of a game i liked when younger. I remember there was some white ape that mistakely put on a device to his brain so it became like smart....and evil. Damn cant remember the name of it, but u catched monkeys in that game too, and had different gadgets to complete the task.

  • @Galimah You sir, are a retard.

  • @Galimah

    dude it's the same game you must of played 2,3 or the remake of this on the psp if it's not this one exct

  • @Galimah It's probably Ape Escape you are talking about.

  • Wow. We all know this guy had a wrong point except for the camera. The controls were great, like the fact you could have four gadgets equipped instead of just one in say, Ratchet & Clank, but then again that's not relevant.

    The thing is, the game is supposed to be unique.

  • i was fucking 6 or 7 and got to the end of this game.

    and at the time i didnt even know what saving a game was and i was better then you ya shit head

  • Does this guy like any games?

  • :D:D i remember this, used to play it with other good games

  • this guy allways complains about the controls, he just cant play and blames the controls.

  • aww man i loved this game!

  • Dude what he complains about doesnt make sense.

    Ape escapes controls were amazing, hes being a horrible critic.

    For a game that was released at that time , it was one of the best.

  • I hate commercials!!!

  • Best troll ever.

  • omg this makes me so nostalgic

  • fuck you navgtr, nobody is gonna go on your damn cruise. this is my favourite game of all time, and obviously wisdom doesnt come with age because your too much of a dumbass to deal with something different from button mashing games. go eat a sack of baby dicks

  • @pandaboi56 you speak of wisdome comes with age, yet you come up with such a childish remark. People will always have a different opinion, so get over it

  • I don't know what to even make of this horrible review

  • Pray... for... mojo

  • oh i remember playin this game good time good times

  • lol I remember when this game was considered to have great graphics. But honestly its one of those games where the gameplay is so good that it doesn't matter that the graphics are shit

  • I'm glad I grew up with great games, instead of great graphics.

    It's just not the same anymore...

  • @XXRavethedrummerXX

    Thank you

  • @XXRavethedrummerXX someday, videogame graphics will be so advanced they won't get any better. Then game developers will realize that they need to make good games again and a hybrid of great graphics and great game play with excellent stories and everything will become a reality... just kidding, they'll just make holographic games in which you do the same stupid missions over and over again and every game will be the same thing basically.

  • I so remember this game, a childhood friend had it and this gotta be like 10-11 years ago. (We don't keep in contact anymore though).

    Anyway, im glad I grew up with playstation so many fun and great games like tekken, metal gear solid, final fantasy, dino crisis and of course resident evil. *sheds a tear*

  • I used to love this game... I was really little, and sucked at it, though.

    Anyone else remember The Legend of Dragoon?

  • controls in this game were awesome. ive never played a game with this layout so it felt unique.

    and this was my favorite game ever when i was little :)

  • Idk why this dude is complaining about the controls.

    Yes, i did find the camera angles to be a bit challenging from time to time. But the controls where absolutely perfect, heck even a 5 year old can pick up this game and play it. And really the only PSX game that used pretty much ALL the controls buttons and functions.

  • Specter is BADASS

  • is it me or does that professor's assistant just sound like a man?

  • The camera sucks? it's a ps1 game. what do you expect.

  • Hardly anybody had an analog controller lol

  • Awesome game I have it on psp i need help on the castel and you suck

  • whoa nostalgia attack! I remember watching my friend play this back when I was in preschool!

  • you are a retard . yes you are a retard , this game is the best game ever

  • @TheDarkcloud2020 You're insane.

  • great game im downloading it now for ps1 emu

  • wen i was a young child growing up, i didnt have a problem with awkward camera angles and controls, i just played the damn game and enjoyed every moment, catching damn monkeys. it was fun, didnt care for graphics n shit, yes it was only a bootleg but round that time all i had was bootlegs my first real ps1 game was spyro, long llive the ps1

  • WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY APE ESCAPE WAS THE BEST GAME FOR PS!!!!

  • boo

  • esse video e muito legal

  • grrr, i never finished that damn game!!!!. i played for hours and more hours... but never ended it :(

  • BEST-GAME-EVER... The camera sucks tho...

  • How can you critisize Ape Escape... It's the best fucking game on the Playstation, next to Final Fantasy 8 ofcourse.

  • lol, dude your reviews are always got no valid points. i mean come on, this game had revolutionary controls for the time....

  • Bad controls my ass, I was 4 or 5 when I got this game and I could play it without being bothered by controls and camera angles.

  • this game is so fun but i've never beaten it because the disk i have has scratches about half way through the game so i've never been able to play past the last lever before you get to go to the current world. :(

  • Is it just me or does that chick look like misty from pokemon?

  • Ape escape= best game ever made

  • this game revolutionized the interactivity with dual anolog control

  • Wow, I love it how I have completed about 80% of the games you have mentioned in your videos :D

  • Spoiler alert much! you just showed the end of the game!

  • this guy is dumb the controls were great

  • @marty13612 He cleary doesn't anything about this game or it's control

  • @marty13612 precursor to the move+nav controller. same basic feel anyway.

  • for 00:53-00:57 I'm hearin the character select SFX from MVC2. anyone else hearing it???

  • Controls are fine. Its an amazing game. And it brings back childhood memories :)

  • Legendary Game !!! XD Awesome graphics too

  • Crash Bandicoot ~ Spyro the Dragon ~ Ape Escape <3

  • @DeclanRays I'm with ya mate.

  • 4 words resume this game:

    great game for psx

  • I don't know the series kinda lost its replayability after the second one. And what does he mean? First of all part of the challange is learning to use the gadgets with the right stick. Second of all why would I want to fly around by spamming the X button? Third if it only used buttons then many things would suck A. RC Car, You could call it out and take control of it, but then how are you gonna dodge? B. HighFlyer, I'm not going to get CarpalTunel just cause I wanna climb a cliff!

  • ah... I loved this game... sooooo damn much!

  • brings back memories..

  • one question what the heck happen to navgtr after the clinton years,why navgtr wasn´t in the bush years???

  • This makes nostalgia hit hard

    I loved this game it was so epicly long and I wished it never ended, the minigames wer hilarious fun as well.

    I remembered this game perfect in every way, fuck this guy

  • I remember that I borrowed this game from a friend, that was like 10 years ago. Shit, time changes.

  • if i were reviewer i wud give this game C on difficulty, A on controls, and C on design

  • @CharlesGuy9001 but dude... u gotta remember tht this game is aged.. probably they didnt have any good computers to edit.. or have it more highly detailed

  • greatest game ever

  • Personaly, i think the only thing that i agree on is camera problem.

    the controls where perfect in my eyes. never had any problems with it.

  • why the hell does he call himself clinton game?

  • good times

  • that would be awesome if they put ape escape on XBLA. i know it will never happen :(

  • Man, it's been forever since I played this game. I wish my playstation still worked. :(

  • omg this was the best one of them all :OOOO

  • Great game, been YEARS since I played it though.

  • this is such an awsome game i remember i rented it and didnt get to finish it

    right away i bought it and its still one of my favorite PS games

    now they will make an Ape escape for PS3

    i have to get PS3!!

  • Yup. This game can be REALLY frustrating because of the camera. Other than that, it's a fantastic game.

  • My cousin had that! :D

  • I had a great summer with this game back in the days. Easily in my top 5 on platform games.

  • Navgtr you are an epic fail

  • The camera is the only valid point that this guy had. The point was that you had MORE control with the right thumbstick instead of just spamming the x, triangle, circle, square buttons. With weapons like the flyer and the hula hoop, its just not the same feel, and you'd only be able to use weapons in front of you. If a monkey ran to your side or something, you could just move the stick to the side.

    My favorite game for the PS, it was so much fun and had a great soundtrack. :)

  • @TragicMime Agreed. Especailly with the soundtack point. This game has music thaat rivals the Spyro and Crash PS1 series.

  • @TragicMime legal

  • This game used to make me ROFL when I was little. xD

    It's a funny game.

  • i loved that game

  • I love Ape escap ..

    and I wish I can play it now... (L)

  • You can :p

    with an emulator (ePSXe) and the Ape Escape Disc or .iso :p

    Hehe, that's what I'm doing !

    It's a wonderful game !

  • @SolidshakeProduction how can i find those two(emulator and .iso of the game)?

  • This was the first game I EVER got. We used to get PSX demos to play that came in the mail, and this game happened to be one of them along with FF8 and a few other games.

    I remember watching my dad play when I was 5 or so and he totally sucked at it.. XD Even I was better than him at it lol.

    At an electronic store,(Frys was the name of the store I think) I recall begging my parents to get it for me when I saw it on display. Ape Escape will always have a special place in my heart!

  • awesome memories! this is the best gaim that i know c´´,

  • By that bad review you gave, I'll take your first comment as an insult as a Spyro fan. That game's graphics are terrible, that game's control was worse and FYI, Spyro's camera didn't suck nearly as much as that game's did, the camera seemed to think I had the power to see through walls with how much it liked to look at them.

  • to me i didnt see any bad controls in a spyro game :p

  • That's what I just said. There was NOTHING wrong with Spyro's controls, but that game right there? The camera likes to mess with you, It's an insult to Spyro to compare it to this crap.

  • as much as i LOVE THIS GAME....like i saw the intro on youtube by coincidence...a tear went down my face....i have to agree with you....the camera does kinda suck abit...but you cant getaway with calling ape escape "crap"....its the best game released ...id still play ape escape than pick up ninja gaiden .........go watch some spyro videos

  • I do, I watch videos of all games and this guy happened to review a Spyro vid, of course, he mentioned the DATE OF RELEASE as some big important thing, despite the fact the game's aged much better than other games. *coughmario64cough* and gave the game a bad mark because of it, which is bullshit if you ask me. If a game has problems or not should matter more than if a game is innovative for the time it's made in.

  • this is definitely the best game of all time! it has such a good feel. and it brings back memories

  • just by watching this brings me back. got this game 1999 or 1998 on chrismas day, ill never forget this game SO AWSOME!

  • This game is awesome. I agree.

  • Great times! thx :D

  • I first got this game as a Christmas present. I 've been playing this game ever since when i was little and i still play it today, it never gets old!

  • I bought the PSP port of it today, quality is nicer... ALOT nicer, but a little harder to play.. although I honestly can't decide which ones better.. they both have their own flaws, but the story is still the same.

  • @Blessedratdragon That's the exact same story for me! In fact, it was my first game ever.

  • 60000views!

  • graphics looks like n64 :O

  • well its a ps1 title

  • i really want this game. my cousin had the demo & i played it over & over again. it would be awesome to play the rest of the game.

  • pumped and prime for the ps2 was amazing

  • The Clinton years were a great time to be a gamer (or a teen or young adult in general) despite the former Emperors Clinton and their cohort's best efforts to ruin it for us with their totalitarian laws. And Lieberwuss to0. To be fair, Jack Thompson is also a wuss. He's a "conservative" in name on
