Ape Escape Racers PSP: Official Site Open

ape escape racer


Back in 1999, Ape Escape was released as a platform game for the PlayStation. It launched a series of videogames (Ape Escape Academy 2 and Ape Escpae: On The Loose), the latest of which is Ape Escape Racer for the PSP. It's officially called Sarugetchu Piposaru Racer in Japan. As such, it's slated for a Japanese release later this year.

Ape Escape Racer will feature the adorable monkeys of the Ape Escape franchise. This time around, they race one another - using weapons and special items - to get to the finish line. What'll set this game apart from other cart racers is that instead of boarding the vehicles, the apes equip themselves with tires and engine, after which they would speed down the track just like any other race car. The game will have 46 racing "vehicles", each can perform drifts and acceleration.

To give the game a boost, Playstation.com (Japan) has put up the official site for the game. As the game is headed for Japan, the site is (you guessed it!) in Japanese. Again, you'd have to brush up on your Japanese skills to get more info about the game. But if you look at the pictures from the site, you'll get an idea of the several features of the game. So, it really wouldn't hurt to check out the site. If you've enjoyed playing the other Ape Escape games, chances are you'd also get a kick playing this racing game, if and when it hits US retail shelves.

 » Sony.. CMON NOW!
Sony needs to stop basing their future products off their initial plan. Sooo many Sony games I see that are going to fail so horribly in the near future. They base all their sequals off games that NO ONE LIKED! Im sorry but I dont think this game is going to sell.
