I have never played an Ape Escape game until this one. Now I never want to play another.

The controls are such shit that most of the challenge was fighting the controls. From jumping to swinging your net, it was all bad. Pure frustration. I wouldn't have beaten this one if I didn't have the rewind function.

Then they had the audacity of making the controls even worse for vehicles. It was maybe one of the first games to use the dual sticks on the PS controller? Probably revolutionary. But it sucked. They already had bad controls and somehow managed to make it WORSE. Yuck.
