El juego base me gusto mucho, pero sacar el 100% no es tan divertido como pensé. Aun así vale la pena jugarlo por la interesante premisa de que los coleccionables tengan vida propia.
Totally blew me away. Just pure fun.
Voice acting that sometimes felt "off", a few annoying camera angles, and the sometimes frustrating analog stick spinning to jump high were the only things holding me back from giving this a five star rating.
One of the few games I enjoyed so much that I put the time and effort into a 100% clear.
This is a must play PS1 game.

Great music, awesome levels, creative gameplay with the use of the analog sticks makes this such an iconic PS1 title for me!
Playing the game for the first time in 2024 is an interesting experience. The biggest barrier to entry is the control scheme, it's experimental and does not quite feel natural with the way that things have evolved. However, you can adjust to it quickly and the skill barrier is low enough at the start that it's not really a problem in the early game. I hesitate to call it good, but it's so different that it's unfair to criticize it just because 3D gaming has gone in a wildly different direction.
Some of the tools are a bit difficult to use, but the game has generous amounts of apes in each level and does not make you catch all of them to progress, so you can tailor your experience pretty well. I think it is fun to hunt down these apes, and I really wish there were more games with this kind of objective. It's wild that a game that is so immediately fun and interesting doesn't really have imitators.
I am not the type to want to collect everything, but the joy of seeing the apes doing funny, unique things really pushed me along to want to see "just one more level". After about 90 minutes I definitely got my fill on this game and am happy to put it down for a bit. Now that I have a feel for it, I'm sure I'll be able to jump back in any time.
