Ape Escape

 Home > Browse Our Collection > Software > Sony PlayStation Games > Ape Escape
 

Ape Escape is a third-person platform game created by an in-house Sony studio. It was developed alongside the Sony PlayStation DualShock Controller which players needed to own in order to play. This makes Ape Escape an important title in the development of twin analogue stick controllers which became a standard for many subsequent consoles.

The plot involves the player character tracking down and capturing escaped monkeys through various settings and time periods.

The gameplay includes the usual running and jumping mechanics of platform games augmented with unlockable gadgets and controllable vehicles.
