So, are you ready for some monkey business?
Then swing your PlayStation Move and start chasing because Ape Escape is coming to town this June!
A breed of cheeky space chimps are invading planet Earth and it’s down to you to catch them all and save the day.
Wield your motion controller while it transforms into a crazy banana zapper, a giant net, a powerful smasher and other awesome gadgets. Capture those monkeys while they attack you through different locations in a series of crazy fun levels.
And if you want to take a break from the main story, try one of the three mini-games. Here, you can become a monkey yourself and play alone or with your family and friends.
Curious to see how you’ve performed so far?
Then, head over to the Goodies section to check out some stats, practise with the tutorial or just find all the info on the apes you captured in the Monkeypedia section!
If you want to know more, take a look at the game page at eu.playstation.com.
We will be back soon with some more information on those crazy monkeys!
Now get your PlayStation Move ready because the invasion is about to begin…

Sorry for Hijacking this thread, but any chance gettin’ a DC Universe: Online Demo. I am considering buying, but without a trial, it’s a no go for an Online Only game.
Again sorry – (but an European Product Manager seems a great person to answer this, eh?)

Hi Zoibie,
it’s currently planned for a Blu-ray disc release.

I wouldn’t mind ‘Ape Escape 4′ for the PS3[using the DS3 pad]?
Loved the PS1 + PS2 games

Please make a proper platforming Ape Escape. It’s been too long since Ape Escape 3.

MONKEYS.
I second the comments for a proper Ape Escape. This looks like it’ll be a fun way to pass the time until AE4 though

Wait, this is a retail game in the EU? In the US it’s a PSN game. Don’t go bumping up the price over here in order to put it on a disc.

think I played the Japanese demo of this – had no idea what was going on but oddly reminded me of the fly swatting game that was on Mario Paint on the SNES – hectic minigame
never played any of the games from this franchise – were they platformers?

Played the Japanese Demo, played prety much like it looks in that video.
Still waiting for decent Move games. So far only LBP2′s Prehistoric Moves has shown me how good Move games can be.

Looks nice, but a proper Ape Escape would’ve been the right thing to do. Minigame collections just tend to get boring very fast.

@CodeMonkey Buy Killzone 3 then.
This looks pretty good…Never actually played an Ape Escape game before so i don’t know what a “proper” one is :p

Too bad this is planned as a retail release for Europe. US gets it via the PlayStation Store instead.
Why is that by the way?

Nice move America!, you will get my money!, as I prefer Digital Download before Blueray for the ease to start the game, hate swapping disc

Posted on 10 March, 2011 at 10:05 pm by kivi95
please say it will be released both on retail and PSN. Because both the Japanese and America have gotten them on the psn store.
