The apes escape on North American PS2s for a third time, and it will take more than a heroic kid with a simple net to trap them all before their mischief infects the minds of innocent folks around the world. Once again under the influence of the villainous Specter, siren-helmeted simians have invaded the local television station and begun to broadcast a signal designed to cloud the minds of viewers. Young Yumi and Kei must explore the station and round up all the rogue primates, before the damage is done. In addition to the regular compliment of ape-nabbing gadgets, the heroes can morph into special forms -- such as a ninja, a cowboy, or a chivalrous knight -- in order to take on whatever challenges those malicious monkeys throw at them this time around.

Ape Escape 3 continues to expand upon the core theme of the Ape Escape series: capturing monkeys. While remaining faithful to the originality of this hit franchise, Ape Escape 3 promises to bring further improvements to the Ape Escape series. Packed with more content than any previous Ape Escape titles, Ape Escape 3 has a full 28 stages (136 total areas, compared with 84 for the previous installment) and tons of mini games.

Features:
* Play as either Kei or Yumi, each with their own unique abilities and morphs
* Trap the evasive simians by using your trusty net or a number of new gadgets including a hulahoop and radar sensor
* As a new feature for this installment, the monkeys get angry and counter-attack! These apes aren't immune to frustration, and they aren't afraid to show it! They'll snatch your gadgets, they'll provoke you into battle and they'll attack! They may even capture you for a change!
* Includes two bonus mini-games: "Super Monkey Throw Stadium" and "Ultim-ape Fighting"
