Stock up on those pet fur roller things: Ape Escape is loose again. Sony today ships Ape Escape 3 for the PlayStation 2 (along with Ape Escape Academy for PSP -- but that's another channel), giving gamers a whole new simian mess to clean up. Ape Escape 3 marks the return of the troublesome pipo monkeys that are on the loose and intent on world domination. The title features a fresh plot, enhanced monkey AI, a new transformation feature, mini-games, and plenty of pop culture parodies. "The latest installments to the Ape Escape franchise are sure to deliver to fans exactly what they want -- fresh storylines, enhanced features, and unique gameplay," said John Koller at Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Retaining all of the humor and fun of the previous games, Ape Escape 3 and Ape Escape Academy give players the sheer creativity and endless gameplay variety certain to make these madcap monkeys a favorite for gamers of all ages."
