Unpopular but I find this to be a top-to-bottom improvement over Ape Escape - albeit one that retains as many flaws as it fixes. It looks better, it plays better, and the voice acting doesn't sound like a vintage porno anymore (even a winging-it Richard Horvitz immediately ups the charm factor of any given product imo)! One major downside - and granted, this is a biggie - is losing out on a crucial gadget slot due to the PSP's lack of sufficient buttons, leading to a heap of bothersome menu-ing to constantly switch out whatever item you might need on a moment's notice. The jump still sucks badly, too. Deserves a hefty amount of credit for rebuilding the literal first DualShock analog game ever made onto a system with ONE awful stick and still making it better. The absolute madlads. Remains a fantastic, idiosyncratic collectathon in desperate need of a series revival.
