Game Description

Ditching the platforming/puzzle styles of previous titles, this outing for the series' characters is a multiplayer battle game called Saru Batouru (a pun on Saru Battle = "Monkey Battle," or as we've coined it in English, "Ape Escape Battle"). Saru Battle consists of a number of battle games designed for play by up to four players simultaneously. Over fifty games are included, spanning a huge range, including racing, platform and arena-style games. For some games, the screen splits in four allowing each player to have his own view. Other games place all players on the same screen. Piposaru, the monkey that you always see associated with Ape Escape also, for the first time in an Ape Escape game, appears as a playable character. It's even possible to select the "Ape Team," which consists of a group of Piposaru characters working together.
