Liam Pritchard of Brash Games writes "A lot of gamers (myself included) have fond memories of the Ape Escape series. Originally conceived as a tech demo to show off the then new Dualshock controller, Ape Escape was developed into a fully fledged platformer that, after receiving a host of rave reviews and some very impressive sales figures, spawned a host of equally successful sequels - thus turning the Ape’s into one of the crown jewels in Sony’s first party portfolio".
PlayStation Move Ape Escape is the type of game that you’ll either burn out on quickly or become hooked on like a monkey fiending for bananas, and since a demo version is available it is recommended that you download it first to see how it suits your taste. If you’re hungry for more monkey mayhem afterwards, you will get your $20s worth from the full game.
GameSpot: Move Ape Escape keeps the charm but loses the fun from its goofy predecessors.
This could've been PlayStation Move's killer app, but was ruined by making it a rail shooter.

"July is notorious for being a slow month in the gaming industry and this year was no different. There weren’t the big AAA titles that we saw last month but that doesn’t mean there weren’t any good games to play this month. Let’s take a look at which games were the best and the worst for the month of July 2011."
sad about the ratings of Ape Escape and Call Of Juarez..definitely a great month for downloads though!
I was a big fan of Ape Escape back in the day, it's a shame to see its current incarnations doomed to be watered-down on-rails Move shooters. There's so much interesting stuff that could have been doing with the Move controller and an Ape Escape game - get back to the platforming of the original!!!
I think this month's lists are even more interesting than they were last month. I hadn't realized how badly Call of Juarez had done, for example.
One day, reviews might be based on Facts and not peoples opinions.
this is the move game,i think there is another true sequel planned for Ape escape that was announced
(correct me if im wrong)
