There's a bunch of super-intelligent apes, and they've escaped! (Again!) One of the classics of 3D platforming from the early aughts, Ape Escape 2 sees the young boy Hikaru tasked with tracking down and capturing a bunch of runaway simians from a bevy of colourful themed platformer worlds. You get a large variety of gadgets with which to acheive this goal, most of which come down to a variation of "hit ape to stun". Unfortunately the game has a few hang-ups, mainly the utterly dreadful voice acting and the wonky controls that make actually playing the game an occasional chore.
