"Ape Escape 2" is a bright and jovial experience. The colors are playful and primary, putting you in a nice "Mario" or "Banjo-Kazooie" mode. The monkies, themselves, are a riot. Some hide by covering their faces with leaves, the bolder ones zoom at you in their hovering space suits. The monkies are lovable and definitely add to the gaming experience.
The controls in this game deserve kudos. Movement occurs with the L-Analog Stick. Normal. However, the gadgets are controlled by selecting them with one of your four main buttons, them maneuvering them with the R-Analog Stick. This gives you a lot of maneuverability with your Stun Club (or monkey whacker) and the net you use to catch the little rascals. Good times.
This is a wonderful game for kids and adults. Some of the monkies do weild guns, but, they're funny guns, and no blood is lost if you're hit. Adults will enjoy the puzzle solving and a few of the funnier monkey moments. Buy it for your favorite PS2 loving kid, and, maybe, they'll let you play, too.
