This game is above and beyond one of my truest loves in both of my worlds of music-adoration, and playing games. Just an allure that cannot be described with simple words - An ape with a birthday for each day of the year, charm out the wazoo and incredible pieces that just make you wanna sit on the beach and soak it all in!
Ape escape 3 is the perfect example of a perfect game to me.
The gameplay is perfect
The writing is perfect
The levels are perfect
The minigames (or at least the Metal gear crossover minigame) are perfect.
I hope Ape escape 3 and the rest of the series can come to modern platfroms one day.
One of the best, yet underappreciated (at the time) collectathon platformers that's stuck on a console from 25 years ago. At the time, I only knew about Ape Escape 1, 2 and EyeToy Monkey Mania, and didn't realise that there was a 3rd one until Astro Bot PS5 properly reintroduced me to the series.
The music is fantastic, Satoru (Kei) and Sayaka (Yumi)'s transformations are fun to use and the level designs are great. My only complaint is, when running on the PS2, the frame rate is all over the place often running lower than even 30 fps which can affect the music at its worst.
If this game ever gets a rerelease, letting us choose between the European/ UK and US versions would be nice (Like the Ape Escape 1 rerelease on PS4/5) as there are a ton of differences, mainly with the Dubbing, character names and the secret Ratchet and Clank-themed monkey that only appears on the European and Japanese versions.
Please, for the love of all that is holy and banana. PLEASE. I just want to be able to play ape escape again!!
maybe if we give it enough love sony execs will notice and give us what we want with a new game

Banjo-TooieColossal, immense, and gigantic; beautiful, gorgeous, and grandiose -- these are the words one thinks of when describing Rare's follow-up adventure to Banjo-Kazooie. Keeping consistent with the attitude found in this title, Rare has wittily named it Banjo-Tooie. Banjo-Tooie, simply put, is incredibly unimaginable. The worlds are ludicrous in size, the gameplay is polished and deep, and the soundtrack proves to be an immaculate compliment. When it comes to defining platform-based entertainment, Banjo-Tooie is filled with chapter after chapter of standards. Explore eight giant worlds, solve puzzles and help game characters to unearth jiggys, play as Mumbo, a T-Rex, Submarine, Money-Van, Washing Machine, and more, and learn more than 40 new moves on the way.Action Fantasy Comedy
Banjo-KazooieA bear named Banjo needs the help of his loyal friend Kazooie, a red feathered bird, to rescue his sister Tooty from a witch named Gruntilda.
Gruntilda has created a machine that transfers one person's level of beauty to another, and plans to use it on Tooty, so she can steal her youthful good looks.
Tooty is hidden within Gruntilda's lair, a strange collection of rooms that contain portals to mysterious environments, where new landscapes, new friends, and new foes are encountered.
The layer contains magical doors that seal off certain rooms, stopping Banjo and Kazooie from finding Tooty.
In order to open these doors, Banjo and Kazooie need to collect mysterious objects called notes, which exist within the mysterious environments.
Collecting enough of these notes will give them the power to open the magical doors.
In order to open a portal to a new environment, a jigsaw containing a picture of the environment has to be finished.
Golden Jigsaw pieces are located within previously visited worlds, and can fit any unfinished jigsaw.
The game is often described as being similar to Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong Country, as well as sharing a few similarities with The Legend of Zelda series.Action Fantasy Comedy
