Ape Escape 2 – a vibrant platformer replete with gadgets and mini-games, invites gamers to take part in the misadventures of Jimmy, a young hero who inadvertently unleashed a troop of mischievous monkeys around the world. Jimmy's challenge? Use various gadgets to stop the Specter, who is behind the chaos. Here, users can freely move through a variety of levels, each of which has a unique theme and setting. Players have a club, a net, a slingshot, a propeller and a banana boomerang in their arsenal. In addition to these devices, gamers can change to various vehicles – from a snowboard to a tank and even a UFO.

Along with catching monkeys, the project includes many exciting mini-games, accessible through collecting coins or conquering bosses. Boxing, skiing, football, dancing – these are just part of the eclectic set that allows you to escape from the main narrative. A multiplayer mode allows friends to take part in mini-games, which increases the social appeal of Ape Escape 2. To add personality to the story, the title has a photo mode, allowing users to take photos of the mischievous monkeys and save the photos on a memory card. This quirky feature not only allows you to take a break from chasing monkeys, but also adds a creative element to your gameplay.
