Such a fun game. The premise is really silly - a bunch of apes mind-controlled by a super-intelligent ape are sent to different time periods and you've gotta travel back in time to capture the escaped apes. I love it. This game is so colorful, lively and fun in every aspect, the apes are very entertaining little fellows and capturing them is infinitely satisfying.

One thing that's really interesting about this game is the control scheme. It's one of the first, if not THE first, games to require the DualShock and the devs were really excited about that. It's really weird to think that the dual analog sticks that we are so used to by now used to be a revolutionary, exciting feature. They are used to the fullest extent here, not for controlling the camera, but instead for controlling the various gadgets and vehicles you come across. Some real original stuff here.

The game really didn't age too bad. The camera is not even half as bad as I would expect from a 90's 3D platformer, I never really found it to get in the way of my enjoyment and the control scheme, while unusual, is easy to get used to.

I'd recommend giving this one a try.
