Considered a classic today, the Planet of the Apes novel was first published in 1963, followed by the first of the original five Planet of the Apes movies in 1968. This game is based on original tales intertwining the first film, Planet of the Apes starring Charlton Heston, and the second film, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, and draws upon the richness of the novel and the classic films.

This game is not gameboy advance. It’s not even gameboy. Nearly everything went incorrect here. Terrible graphics, unresponsive controls, and terrible music. It doesn’t even seem to have much in common with the movie except that they both have monkeys and they where both terrible. Don’t even reflect about buying this.

it’s like Kid Icarus or “Rygar” for those who remember, just the same engine with a different guy/plot. Not too shabby for a game, it’s as fun as they were. Rygar being cooler in the music department. Kid sucking in it.

I don’t know all of the unenthusiastic reviews. If you are a Planet of the Apes fan, you will see certain things in the game that pay homage to the film and TV series. If you are not an Apes fan, this game is still alot of fun. The game is alot of fun. I reflect the levels are challenging and detail is awesome. Kudos to GBA for putting this game out.

The first thing I’d like to say is “Planet of the Apes” isn’t the game you’d expect it do be.
Tale wise, this isn’t based on the Mark Wahlberg movie that came out before this game was released. No, its tale will confuse most people who aren’t a fan of the movies. The tale is loosely based of the 1970 movie, “Beneath the Planet of the Apes” which was the 2nd of the original 5 movies. You take the role of Astronaut, Ben… his last name is never revealed, looking for fellow astronaut, Taylor, who disappeared a few years ago. Just a quick note here, Fans of the original series will know that Taylor was the name of Charlton Hestons character in the original movie. You then land on a weird alien planet with the knowledge that it’s now 2000 years into the future. You then go aboard on a quest to find Taylor and learn the mystery of this weird alien world.
The game play is a direct copy of the 1989 game, “Prince of Persia.” A rotoscoped 2d platform action game, but, the characters are all 3d on a 2d social class. Throughout the game, you’ll be required to maneuver Ben from start point `A’ to end point `B’ which mainly means travelling from left to right across the game map. The enemies consist of snakes, bears, Apes, and mutants, which generally walk around in circles until you place them out of their misery. Throughout the game, you have to collect flags which are supposed to lead you to Taylor, and collecting all the flags are relevant for getting the sports meeting excellent ending.
But, the game is not without its terrible points. The Music has a nice tribal and alien feel to it but it’s just a few repetitive bars played over and over again, which means six or seven minutes into the game you’ll be without a doubt turning down the volume. The game mechanics of Ben are irritating. To turn around has the game character go a step, which is a pain in the bum if you’re on a very small platform. This leads to an 80% chance of Ben falling to his death or much worse.
The other terrible thing about this game is the way to realize a excellent ending. If you’ve completed the level supplies, you get a medal at the end during your score review. In order to get a medal, you must kill all the enemies and collect all the flags planted by Taylor all within a time space of UNDER 5 minutes. During the early stages of the game this is quite reasonable, and simple to realize. Unfortunately, as the game progresses, the levels get longer, and there are more enemies, which makes it next to near impossible to kill everyone and get all the flags in less than 5 minutes. I bought this game when it first came out and I still haven’t gotten the excellent ending yet.
Sadly the terrible aspects of this game far outweigh the excellent. The fun of the game is lost amidst terrible game play mechanics repetitive music, and poorly thought out mission supplies. Some people have loved this game despite these glaringly blatant flaws, because they can look past the problems to focus on the fun. This game can be fun, but punishing if you’re trying to completely end it. If you’re like me, you’ll play owing to this game with a slight sense of enjoyment only to complete it and never to pick it up again.

I have only have had my gameboy advance for about two weeks. I reflect this game is okay the graphics arent splendid but it is fun for at least a half an hour of play every now and then. By and large I reflect this game is worth the price.
