Players take control of either Kei or Yumi as they take down Specter's plan to rule the world through brain-rotting television that has left the heroes from the previous games as mindless couch potatoes.
The game is heavily modeled after the second installment as health and coins work the same as in that game. The player can also buy things like in the previous game, but now they are allowed to buy specific items rather than dumping coins into a roulette machine.
There is also a new feature that allows players to make small movies using the monkeys they've captured as actors. The gameplay is more or less the same as Ape Escape 2 with one major change.
Characters now have access to transformations that grant them special abilities and improve their combative potential.
These transformations are somewhat of a replacement for the gadgets from previous games as this game has less gadgets than the second game. The Water Net in particular has taken emphasis away from underwater exploration as water is now incredibly shallow in terms of how deep you are allowed to dive in. Advanced embedding details, examples, and help!
There's trouble brewing at the zoo! An albino monkey called Specter got his paws on a Peak Point Helmet, making him super-intelligent!
Now, he's gone back in time with an army of intelligent apes to rewrite history and make monkeys the dominant species! It's up to you to hop from era to era and round them all up! Our hero, Spike, has to travel through time, capturing monkeys using his time net. A new arrival for the Ape Escape series, Morphs allow the player to change form and gain abilities not able to be gained via gadgets. These include stronger and more varied attacks, greater movement ability, and other, more specific abilities as well.

Bust out the Dragon Kung Fu outfit and it's on. The game is short but packs tons of mostly ripe optional stuff to keep you amused. Minor control or camera issues may bite you in the butt now and then, but you just can't help but have fun with this one. Unless your name is G. Ford or Kathleen. Remember when Ape Escape was the poster child of innovation, an amusing platformer that showed off the wonders of Sony's DualShock controller?
Well, using the right stick to attack doesn't wow me so much anymore--I'd rather have a functional camera. Ape Escape 3 finds itself in a world of hurt when it comes to keeping the action onscreen, but even if the camera were ideal, the game is far too uninspired and short though generally competent to keep its target younger demographic amused--get 'em Sony's superior Sly 3 instead, I say. Even the game's potentially amusing Metal Gear Solid minigame an unlockable Metal Gear Solid riff is chock-full of camera-bred frustration.
I understand the compulsion to trap hordes of furry creatures to populate a private zoo. When the creatures are actually damn dirty apes bent on world domination of the human race--well, hand me one of those silly chimpanzee-snatching gadgets. I absolutely agree with Justin that the goofy lampoons make for fun levels and character morphs, but snaring those slippery simians never gets challenging enough to stay enjoyable past the initial "Hey, how 'bout that--it's a monkey Lord of the Rings'" moment.
