Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., Ape Escape 2 promises the same fun gameplay as the original version including advanced game features, amazing 3D graphics, and plenty of monkey pandemonium!

Game Storyline
There's been a terrible accident at Monkey Park! Jimmy, the main character, has accidentally provided the monkeys with a superior intelligence and means of escape from the park. Specter, the lead monkey from the original game, hatches an evil plan for world domination, setting off the other monkeys on a rampage. With his main weapons only a club and net, Jimmy is faced with the enormous job of chasing delinquent monkeys through a large, lavish world in order to defeat the monkey rebellion.
