Ape Escape: Pumped and Primed, released as part of a well-known franchise, has an original approach to organizing parties. While maintaining the usual set of characters and gadgets, the title opens up new possibilities for gameplay, moving away from the classic scheme of catching monkeys. Instead, gamers engage in a variety of mini-games, using vehicles and weapons to outsmart their opponents.

The game takes place in two modes: story mode and “against everyone”. In the first, users find themselves in a futuristic tournament in virtual space, where they have to fight various enemies. The plot, divided into “Tournament of High Technologies” and “Viral Technologies”, unfolds as participants fight for the coveted prize – a mysterious disk. The first stage includes competitive battles with other characters – Helga, Jake and the notorious Specter. Final goal? Take possession of the trophy and solve the mystery of the hidden disk.

Moving on to the second part, gamers will face a formidable opponent in the form of Grid Core – a supercomputer virus that is hatching insidious plans to take over the setting, using a mysterious disk as a core. Ape Escape: Pumped and Primed seamlessly incorporates the whimsical charm of its predecessors into entirely new gameplay dynamics. The juxtaposition of familiar characters in an unconventional virtual tournament setting makes the gameplay exciting. Whether it's racing against legendary foes or countering the diabolical plans of a computer virus, the game offers a refreshing departure from the series' traditional monkey chases.
