One word: Why?

I am a HUGE fan of the Ape Escape series and I was excited about this new game. It was really secret and I can see why! This game was horrible and I really wish it didn't happen.

It's not so much that the graphics and music are back. I kind of like the new anime design but they did a terrible job at presenting it. The storyline was ridiculous: a competition with stupid apes! Spike's voice was HORRIBLE! Fans wanted him to make a comeback and I can see this wasn't the comeback we had in mind. In fact, all of the voices were bad!

The controlling was the worst part of the game. The camera angles have always sucked but that is added to all the other bad points of this game. The controlling for the weapons are consfusing to me and just plain bad.

The music was the only decent part of the game because it was Ape Escape music, a strong point of all 3 of the games. We can only hope Ape Esacpe 3 is a lot better than this because this was garbage!
