Ape Escape 2 takes everything I enjoyed about the original and improves upon it, thanks to it's memorable stages, various monkeys that are even more charming than the originals, and it's slight improvement to the controls. Additionally the game also has far more bosses than the original, all of which offer a good challenge. Ape Escape 2 even let's players skip tutorials for gadgets, which was something I didn't even know I wanted. My only complaint towards this game is that the soundtrack wasn't as memorable to me as the first games was.
