I was dreading this review coming up but alas, even bad games get their own independent review. Ape Escape Academy is vastly different than those of the other Ape Escape games of the past. This one involves a lot of mini games to progress in the game. If you played Pokemon Stadium, think of it as if you had only the mini games and nothing else that is involved in said game. That's what this is. What does this game do well, what does it not do well? All that and more below.
Positives:
1. Amount of Mini-Games- The one thing this game did well was have a lot of mini-games for this game of mini-games. If they were going to make this game, it had to have a lot of variety. And they do that in spades.
2. Graphics- I guess this is a plus, and yes I am grasping at straws. The graphics are actually good, but this shouldn't be looked at as an overt positive. It's a mini-game game, so graphics had to be good to begin with.
Negatives:
1. Boring- None of the mini-games are really all that exciting. In fact a lot of them are just dull and monotonous and it just becomes a drag. They just become boring after about two times of playing them.
2. No story- Yeah this is like if Pokemon Stadium had just the mini games because it doesn't add a story or anything to it which is a let down. It would be cool if the mini games served some purpose, but it doesn't. It just is a mini-game type game.
3. No replay value- Yeah this doesn't have to go much into the explanation too much here.
Overall Rating:
This is a bad game with no replay value and no major ability to do well. It's just a lackluster game that doesn't hold well today to any standard. I can't rate this game higher than a 5 out of 10.
