Ape Escape

Adventure Game from Sony Computer Entertainment, by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan (SCEI)

Well-received 3D platform-style game. You play a character named Spike who must travel back in time to capture a group of monkeys. The monkeys have changed history in order to reek revenge on the humans who once held them captive. You must retrieve them and defeat their boss, an ape called Specter. You are aided by two other characters, a girl named Natalie and a Professor.

A great feature of the game is the large range of moves and gadgets, including weapons, at your disposal. A training section at the beginning of the game helps you to become familiar with the basic inventory but further items and skills will be picked up later in the game. Among Spike's moves are range of jumps and the ability to swim, weapons include different types of net for capturing the monkeys and light-saber type weapon. There is even a monkey radar!
