My favorite part is how the MGS3 (an M-rated game) instruction manual states "this mode contains no graphic violence or gore, it is suitable for all ages to play."
Realising that someone out there had their first introduction to the series through Mesal Gear Solid, and probably thought it was a fever dream years later.
Hideo Kojima stated in an interview that he included the ape escape mode in MGS3 so that the game would be more "family friendly." His idea was that parents and older siblings could play the actual game and let their younger siblings or children play the ape escape game since it didn't have the same mature themes. I'm guessing Sony continued with the metal gear mode in ape escape because the ape escape mode in metal gear received positive reviews.
it was truly a beautiful introduction to the metal gear franchise. I'm pretty sure I played this before even MGS2, which is my only other fully completed one besides phantom pain. Whatcha think of the soccer minigame?
Snake Vs. Monkey is, to this day, some of the best side-content i've ever played. shame i missed out on Ape Escape 3 cos that MGS-style game mode looks really good!!
That's hilarious man. Never knew MGS had a crossover like this. I recently bought the MGS Lecacy Collection cus I want to try MGS and more stealth games. Gonna add Ape Escape 3's extra mode to the list. Also have always been interested with ape escape series. Can I just start from the third one? (Also found your channel from your reddit stealth games post!)
The third one is a great place to start for sure. 1 is also fantastic, and more easily emulated. So I'd probably recommend that. Thanks for watching cowboy.
