Ape Quest trailer video

Taking a massive departure from the series it stems from, Ape Quest on the Sony PlayStation Portable puts us in the shoes - or rather, under Peak Point Helmet - of none other than a monkey and sends us on an epic quest reminiscent of contemporary roleplaying games. And yes, it even comes with the cutscenes and turn-based battle system to boot! We see this in the game's latest trailer video of the game.

Looking at the video, it's pretty clear that that SCEA wants to make this as close to a full-fledged RPG as possible, with the game's music, visuals and feel having that epic JRPG thing going on. There's also a healthy mix of minigames, with our stalwart monkey-with-a-hat taking up arm wrestling, pole climbing, and hammer-whacking. Cute? Yes. Insane? Very.

Enjoy the video!
