Unfortunately, that's about the only new idea in the gameplay. Whereas the first Ape Escape was wildly original and the Ape Escape 2 was an amiable first attempt on the PS2, Ape Escape 3 is a late release on mature hardware which does little to push the series or the genre forward.
The graphics, though colorful, are mediocre and suffer from serious stuttering, and the music is so generic that it might as well not exist. What we're left with is 20-odd levels of the same game we played in 2002, and the basic graphics and kludgy camera aren't doing many favors for what's essentially a blast from the past.
