Today video games are either inter-active movies or they are game play engines. The problem is that the industry doesn't take its sweet time to integrate the two. Since the success of Grand Theft Auto III, which did combine the two, motion has begun.

This game is purely a game play engine. The whole concept of catching monkeys with various gadgets doesn't make for a very appealing flick. It goes back to the roots of video gaming and is its biggest strength, focusing only on fun game-play.

There are 300 monkeys to catch in the game and the only reason you do this is to be able to say you've caught them all. The reason why this is considered entertainment is because of the names. You see, the monkeys are all named after the characters in familiar franchises, like Star Wars and The Matrix. Which makes this a dork fest.

The game itself is not very extraordinary since it only features true and tried concepts like jump, double-jump, crawl, and so on. No surprises here. This is how-ever quality. None-the-less it is still just routine for video gamers.
