Animorphs: Shattered Reality

Ape Escape 2001

3D game that combines action and platform game elements. It is the follow-up to a successful PlayStation original. Once again, you take the role of Spike but rather than capturing monkeys you must instead vacuum off their pants! The game consists of a series timed rounds in which you must clear levels of multiple apes. You must chase them, but after getting their pants they will chase you. Level settings are varied and the apes take indifferent forms to fit the theme, such as cacti in the desert. Bosses also feature. Power-ups are scattered around the levels. The game's design and graphics are generally good, although the gameplay is not all that varied. Unlike the original this sequel does not employs dual analogue controls.
