Ape Escape spin-off built around multiplayer mini-games. Around thirty short activities make for fine local-couch fun. The solo offering is thin and the camera occasionally misbehaves.

Ape Escape - Pumped & Primed (PS2) price, value & rarity
A competitive spin-off of Sony's Ape Escape series, centered on arena clashes rather than the monkey-catching that made the franchise's name. Its Chinese version is a market rarity, the PS2 having seen there a restricted and late official distribution. Collector interest lies in this unusual regional pressing, more than in this spin-off's place within a saga known above all for its mainline entries.
