Ape Escape 2 Review - Quickies Don't Cut It 

Just pointing out in Monkey Soccer you can actually pick any of the monkeys in the entire game you've captured. Just scroll down a little in the selection! Monkey Claus is overpowered af

It's a crime for such a good reviewer to have so few subscribers! +1'd~

Around 20 minute or more reviews!? This is my CRACK! I'm on board! Can't wait to see you do Ape Escape 3!

It seems more cartoony because they smoothened the character models, they're much rounder. And they used a lot more pastel colors and brighter scenes.

Ash Ketchum and Misty are the VAs for the protagonist and the female lead. That is all I needed to hear to give this an 11/10

YES, IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A REVIEWER LIKE YOU! Someone who makes long videos and pretty much every game they review.

Awesome review, I really aprecciate the format ! Ape Escape 3 is the best in the series in my opinion with an extremely well flowing gameplay loop and fun additions, I hope you come around to it sometime

I recently found out that you can use the Water Cannon to repair damaged vehicles like the tank and snow mobile when they start to catch on fire.

Great video as always! Really love yours really in-depth reviews. Can't wait for part 3! See you in 2017, hehe.

You will do Ape Escape 3 right?

the instant you started talking I subscribed. I can tell I will enjoy your content right off the bat

just found this channel from exo's SA2 commentary video you were on, i gotta say this review was incredible. there did seem to be a few features you didn't pick up on such as jimmy's dive ability that can be performed by pressing both R1 and R2 at the same time or the ground pound ability performed by pressing L3 in midair. regardless this was a really deep video for such a simple game and i absolutely can't wait to see your video on ape escape 3. subbed, keep up the great work man

13:40 "Having 2 jump buttons is pretty redundant". While this is true, if you press them together, you do a rocket dive. While not special, it's good for crossing vertical distances. And about the item switching: If you know Ape Escape 3, there is the thing where if you mash the square button for instance, you go through an item wheel without going to a pause menu of sorts. This is only present in the japanese version. Other fun stuff from a speedrunner's perspective: The slingshot is mainly used for a flying glitch, the water-gun is NOT needed to beat the game, with the other 2 new gadgets only used when it is NEEDED, like the monkeys in the huts. I'm one of the unlucky 5 who did a 100% run, and getting all collectibles and farming coins for it, got me 6 or 8 runs, which lasted for about 1h20m. All in all a really good review. Enjoyed watching it, seeing a non-japanese version, seeing some hallways I haven't seen in forever since we don't go for them normally.

always great reviews my dude!

I'm not an Ape Escape fan myself, but I will say that I found this video pretty interesting. Good job on it! One of my favourite PS2 platformers, known as Kya: Dark Lineage does use enemies as main collectables as well, but unlike Ape Escape that game utilizes a combat system that is separate from the main exploration and platforming. It's pretty in-depth and fun and even though there are only three different kinds of main enemies, they have little sub-types as well and learn from your attacks, which means that you have to think fast and constantly switch up your strategy. The highest type of enemy is the rarest variant but also the smartest and most dangerous, being immune to attacks involving their tail (as they cut off their own tails) as well as quickly teleporting before you can jump onto their backs. They learn very fast and their attacks are quick and strong, and honestly facing one such enemy one-on-one is one of my favourite things to do in that game. In fact, the combat all-around is one of my favourite things about it. If you ever get your hands on that game, i wish you a lot of fun with it! :)

Oh damn! I want that Ape Escape 3 Review so much

*patiently awaits Ape Escape 3 Review...* (Great video ^.^ )

13:51 just to clarify in the japanese version you can tap the button again and it will automatically switch. Just like in ape escape 3

I hope you will eventually review Ape Escape 3. I don't know many people who have played it due to it being released at the end of the PS2 era. Which is a shame because I think AE3 is criminally underrated.

Oh! Seems like yesterday when i saw the first Ape Escape review by you! i ended up running an emulator and had a blast! Great content as always you really deserve more subs!

One cool thing about the Magnet, it can be used to remove the Black pants monkey's guns.

10:00 - This rant is very true. I love Ape Escape but using the left stick + a button press would probably work even better. Then the right stick would be freed up for camera control, and the dpad could be used to switch gadgets.

I must say I definately love the ape escape, and I hope it comes back someday as it is quite innovative on how it's set up to be. I must say when spike showed up on on Playstation All Stars Battle Royale it brought a tear to my eye. owo

*fully automatic a semi automatic fires a single cartridge per pull of the trigger

24:49 While I agree with that statement Super mario 64 kicks you out 10 more times or perhaps more often than the ape Escape games when collecting a Star, except for the 100 coin stars. When Completing a World

The Spike on AE2 looks weird because I am used to him being short

I've never really seen any of these games before, but I like me a good collectathon, so I'm definitely interested. Guess I'll have to pick 'em up at some point.

Jimmy is why I only play in Spike mode. I just don't like Ash's voice even as a kid I only watched Pokémon for the cool Pokémon and the laughs from Team Rocket. But I still loved Ape Escape 2 it was plenty hours of fun.

Still waiting for ape escape 3.

The "Fire Armor" suggestion sounds a lot like chasing Shadow Mario

Ape Escape 3 is my favorite in the trilogy. Those transformations are so much fun to play around with.

Brilliant review

I wanna point out how good the percussion is in this soundtrack, its not as ever present as the D&B from Ape Escape 1, but when it hits, IT HITS!!!! Several songs have drum solos and every single one of them is fantastic and makes this soundtrack for me!!

When you get tons more subscribers, I can say I was here since 400.

I like this game because the main characters sound like Ash and Misty

Your voice almost sounds like Arlo's.

Another childhood classic

What happened to this channel? I would love to hear this mans review of AE3. My favorite playstation franchise

This review is very good. When is 3 coming out?

I love this game also I like how in monkey soccer you get to use the monkeys that you catch in the levels. So you could play a game of monkey soccer and then go do some more levels then come back and take those moneys you just caught and use them in the monkey soccer mini game which is pretty cool imo.

Great review man, I own all three of the main games and personally the sequels went all cutsie and full on child friendly which bothered me quite a bit as well as the fact you never play as Spike again!

BTW the PS2 Classics release on US PS4 is unfortunately the Euro version, which doesn't have the voice acting referenced here.

NTSC version's voice actors used Japanese names for the characters which I also appreciated as a kid. Hearing Hikaru called Jimmy when I tried the Pal version lol

11:49 Hey. That's me :D

There's a bit of a problem with the ape escape series I always used to have, and that was the stress on your thumbs because of using dualshock or dualanalog. It always never resonated with me well, and always gave me thumb pains every now and then, leading me to use games that have dpad support for movement rather than exclusively Joystick movement. Games like Jet Set Radio HD are perfect on the joystick and dpad movement ape escape tried to make look good. Other than that, it's a solid franchise, and I love the Ape Escape 3 logo over all of them, even the european ones. I wish they kept that logo everywhere, but hey, I'm not gonna judge a really good franchise.

Personally I half disagree with your complaint about the game kicking you out of the level after collecting an amount of monkeys. While playing as jimmy you wouldn't have all the gadgets necessary to get the rest of the monkeys anyways, especially without the no-see all scope and magic punch. You're making a mandatory second run through the stages regardless. However when playing as spike, yes I can see how it can be annoying. Frankly everything should be unlocked when playing as spike. The no-see all scope, the rest of the levels, and the 3 hidden monkeys that can only be found in-game after beating Spector the first time.

Not a gimmick. It's the soul ✨

when the ape escape 3 video comin???

Do you plan on making the Ape Escape 3 review?

I remember mini games in this. Did I missed them when you were talking about them?

This was one of my favorite games as a kid but I replayed it recently and was disappointed with its core gameplay. However, I do think the sheer charm and polish of the game in all other areas makes it a worthwhile investment for fans of the franchise.

did anybody else know that if you pressed the R1 button and R2 button at the same time you’ll dive rather than jump? it wasn’t explained anywhere in the game last i remember so it wouldn’t be surprising if no one found out; i found it out once when i accidentally hit them both when i was young

I think ape escape 3 was my favorite. If that’s the one with the cyber power and the cowboy etc

Can you please do reviews on the 3D Super Mario games? Starting at Super Mario 64 and ending at Super Mario 3D World? It'd be appreciated since you're a good reviewer and I would like to see your opinions on each game. Please and thank you. :)

Overall, I can't wait for the review of the third game. I think everything about it is better than the sequel. the morphs, stages, the miniGAME xD, and overall I think the story is better, but more stupid. Can't wait to see your thoughts on Ape Escape 3!

This was my fav out of the series for sure.

is ape escape 3 review coming soon???

Marvellous game! Total Nostalgic feelings!

common man where‘s that sweet ape escape 3 review :D?

You need to claw the camera then you can control it easily while moving.

Played this game when i was 6 in like 09 damn was it fun

The raft is so easy to use, I don't get all the complaints.

Also I wish people would review Ash and Misty actors for this game ; -; cuz no one brings it up

i love this game so much

It's a crime that none of these games were ever put on the PSN store.

At 24:16 for the lowpoints

I think you're being too harsh on this game. I find it very difficult to find anything bad to say about the game, and I am not wearing nostalgia glasses since I played this game for the first time a month ago. Also, you suggest that this is an easy game? This is a difficult game; If I hadn't farmed lives in Ninja Hideout, I would've Game Overed multiple times. This is not a 10/10 game, but there's very little they could've done better. Also, you can use the watergun to activate certain mechanisms and use it against fire breathing apes. Maybe one complaint could be the lack of innovation since most of the gadgets are copy+pasted from AE1.

no way you call them lemons😂

Couldn't beat a single match in money soccer.... Wow.

o how i fucking love ape escape i rented 2 a couple years back loved it rented three LOVED IT EVEN MORE a lot later bought 2 forgetting which of the two had the morphing and being slightly disappointed i got the wrong one but in the end i still enjoyed playing it also the magnet gadget hindered the game so much especially the final stage

25:30 lol
