Anyone bought Ape Escape 3, yet? It seems to be out in Japan, now. I was wondering what Mesal Gear Solid was like.

Do those games have any background story to them? Where the apes are escaping from, why they need to be recaptured, what threat they pose to humans, why the main character has decided to take on the challenge, that sort of thing? Or is the concept merely a springboard for some quality simian-based humour?

If I remember correctly, there's a slight story (something to do with "grandfather's experiments", I believe) but nothing that really makes any sense (or tries to).

Much like Katamari, it's firmly rooted in the idea that the gameplay makes up for everything else and in both cases, it does.

It came out last June or so in Japan, but I never played it.

I have quite a few images from it, I am hoping to get video clips in the future. :grin: If you want me to post some images just ask.

I think that the idea is that Campbell is friends with the Proffessor from Ape Escape. FOX-HOUND discovers that evil Apes have a new Metal Gear, and Campbell asks the Professor to help. He sends out Pipo Snake to the enemy base.

Solid Snake, Roy Campbell and The Professor are all supposed to be CODEC contacts. Seemingly, there is also a monkey version of Revolver Ocelot involved.

Are there any voice overs in Mesal Gear Solid?

The return of the MGS Game Over screen and MGS3's Survival Viewer both have me excited. :D
It's basically the team from Ape Escape saying "MetalGear is the best" by making a funny little minigame.
