Ape Escape Academy
Platform: PSP
Manufacturer: SCEA
Review Type: Touchy
Version: Preview Code
If a mini game isn't fun, then what the hell is it good for? Ape Escape Academy collects 40 mostly tedious twitch exercises, many of which take more time to load than to play. There's a story mode of sorts, which requires you to climb a ladder from Freshman to Senior year, by beating enough of the contests to win a line on a tic-tac-toe board. Part of Ape Escape Academy's problem is that the games are more difficult than fun. And unlike say, WarioWare, Inc., none of them are funny. That is, unless you get a kick out of bad voice acting and Engrish text. The one thing that Ape Escape Academy has going for it is in the looks department. The multi-colored apes and environments are rendered in a simple, but attractive 3D creating an appealing world that really lights up the PSP screen. But looks aren't everything. I'd rather put a bag over Wario Ware's head , than lie down with Ape Escape Academy again.
