Ape Escape 2 (Europe) ISO

Ape Escape 2 is a 3D adventure platformer similar to games like Super Mario 64 or Spyro the Dragon. Since the events of the first Ape Escape on the original PlayStation, Jimmy has accidentally shipped peak point helmets directly to Specter and his monkey minions and must undue the damage he's done. The game plays more or less like the original, but with more gadgets, monkeys, and levels than the first game. New gadgets include the Bananarang, Water Cannon, and Electro-Magnet. The lives and health system has also been changed. Cookies (health) can now be taken in halves and falling in pits only loses you one whole cookie instead of losing a whole life. However, lives are much more sparse in Ape Escape 2 compared to the original as the power chips have been replaced with coins that can be used to buy items at the Travel Station, the game's main hub. These include artwork, side stories, and mini-games. There are also more traditional boss fights this time around in the form of the Freaky Monkey Five, Specter's new group of elite simian underlings. Ape Escape 2 is a much bigger game than the first that improves on everything that was already great about it. If you love 3D platformers, Ape Escape 2 is well worth your time.
