Summary

Planet of the Apes has made a big impact at the cinema on two occasions, the latest movie riding in on a huge wave of hyperbole. The video game couldn't be far behind. And here it is Fuelling the phenomenon for all things primate, Ubi Soft has released Planet of the Apes for Game Boy Advance.

After crash landing on an alien Earth, 200 years into the future, you discover a disturbing reality. Apes are the superior beings and dominate your home planet. Playing as Ulysses, you must fight for humanity and save your fellow survivors from the hairiest form of intelligence on the planet. You will have to use all your skill as you infiltrate guarded buildings and confront renegade baboons. Feel up to it?

The ideas behind the gameplay in Planet of the Apes are very similar to the film. You must join forces with friendly apes that include Dr Zaius, Zira and Cornelius, as you battle for freedom against a plethora of primate nasties. This is essentially a platform game in which you must adopt stealth strategies, as well summoning the strength within yourself to overcome the opposition. Your journey will become progressively more challenging and take place across familiar locations such as Ape City, research labs and military bases.

This visually pleasing game is easy to learn but challenging to master. A great handheld title for all ages.
