Ape Escape: Million Monkeys

Overview

Saru! Get You! Million Monkeys is a 2006 platform video game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2 as part of the Ape Escape series. It was released throughout Asia a year after the series' previous title Ape Escape 3. The game was planned to be released in the United Kingdom in late 2006.

The gameplay uses the action based gameplay from the party title Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed, and mixes it with the platforming ape catching of the original title. Players use different weapons to destroy machines, and creatures lurking throughout the city. Players also use Gadgets to defeat monkeys, and use the "Monkey Net" to catch them. Each mission requires a different goal. Sometimes is needed to defeat a boss, other times to defeat a set of Targets, defend certain characters or weapons that will help throughout the game or sometimes need to capture a set of monkeys.

The game has two story plots to play. One is "Team Kakeru" referring to the main heroes of the series, the other "Team Specter" which refers to enemy Specter and the monkeys. Each "team" has their own plot, which involves the same gameplay, but the story has changed.

In "Team Kakeru" mode, the story starts with the main heroes gathering in Tokyo. The professor's computer program in the form of the character "Chall", alerts them of the disaster happening in the city. It is shown that Specter has joined forces with an alien race, to take over the world once more. However, it's later revealed that the "alien race" are mutant versions of the breed "Pipotron" which take the DNA of the Pipotron Monkeys, and uses it to create other creatures to help dominate the globe. The player is left to destroy any of the Specter's Robot's and Monkeys and restore order to the world.
