Ape Escape 2 Now Available As PS2-On-PS4 Game

There are some games that exist to put smiles on faces. The Ape Escape franchise firmly fits in that category.

Your job is to travel through time and capture wily monkeys in your time net. It sounds absurd, but sneaking up on the patrolling and frustratingly clever apes is a darn good time.

Ape Escape 2, the series’ first of two entries on PlayStation 2, is now available on PS4. For the first week, you can pick up at a 25 percent discount. It’s $7.49 through August 9.

Our Take
Way back in 2014, I named Ape Escape as one of six reboots I wanted to see happen in 2015. I may have been sorely disappointed (by every single one), but at least this gives me a good way to introduce my kids to Specter and his evil apes.
