I actually played ape escape on the psp and still do xD it’s one of my fav consoles! I came in hopes for a good review cuz I loved it growing up and still do!
The PSP version is cool in that it is portable, but otherwise I much prefer the PS1 version because of the way it uses the analog control sticks. You're so right about catching monkeys in the water not being fun in the PSP version - but it's actually really fun on the PS1. Still, for the control limitations that they had on the PSP that were unavoidable, I think they did a fairly good job.
Nice review. I was on the fence about getting this version of the game. Initially I tried the PS1 version on a demo disc I didn't know I had and really liked the way it played with the dual analog sticks. But since I didn't have nostalgia goggles either I also went on and bought it for my vita. Glad I did. I actually prefer this version 😉. And I figured out that if you hold the gadget button and rotate the left joystick it works similar to the PS1 version.
Thank you, I have yet to play the original but this version surprised me as well, and I don’t have any nostalgia for it having never played it back in the day, it must be really good on the vita
sackboy anyways! i played this as a little kid like 5-6 years old and i some how got a psp that had ape escape on it but my parents clearly saw i had no clue how to play so they traded it for a wii now just today on my anniversary(4/20) my gf got me a psp with ape escape because she remembered how much i loved talking about it when we played games so she hunted down a beautiful red psp3k with ape escape i’m so excited to play and just wanted to watch a review before i played again currently having trouble connecting devices to wifi tho
Yea I imagine two analog sticks would be much better, it’s one of the downfalls of the psp, but it’s actually playable and didn’t mess with me too much
6:16 easiest way i found to beat this back when I played it is double jumping the car! Way easier than trying to avoid it imo. After that you can just hit the button with the sword
I have only played the one on the psp, people seemed to have loved the original on the PlayStation 1 I think maybe because you could control the camera with the right joystick I would recommend the psp port for sure tho it was super fun

Right analog stick was used to control gadgets not the camera.
It's the thing that made it revolutionary.
Another great review! Sackboy!

Thanks for the sub 🎉🤘🏻🎉 let me know when u beat the game 🤘🏻
@@JonnytheGamer725 I've just beaten it. Now have to go back and catch all the monkeys and catch spectre once and for all
Nice! Beating that game is so satisfying especially after that last platforming nightmare
If you have a modded vita you can map the camera controls from the d pad to the right joystick.

Sackboy is my favorite playstation mascot
This game looks amazing! Also.. Sackboy! ;)
Always wondered how this was played on the psp. I grew up playing this on the PS1 and couldn't imagine playing it without two analog sticks.

I'm here because I've never played an Ape Escape game and want to know what the best to play is.
I have only played the one on the psp, people seemed to have loved the original on the PlayStation 1 I think maybe because you could control the camera with the right joystick I would recommend the psp port for sure tho it was super fun
Great review and voice! Convinced me to buy, downloading it now onto PSVita :)
Thank you! Glad I could help with your decision, it will probably be really fun on the vita too!
Sackboy
I came here since I saw it on PlayStation store for PS5
Sad that Sony would never bring this back
I beat this game like 25 times and speant way too much time on the snowboarding bonus game.
Lmao it's 1am and i couldn't sleep without knowing what happened to it
Trying to play this touch screen on my phone is allmost impossible 😭😭
What are some fun psp games to play I just got a psp for the first time
Death junior is a fantastic game to start with!
