Description

Based on one of the most recognizable franchises in movie history and the ground breaking book by Pierre Boulle, Planet of the Apes is set to become one of the most involved and critically acclaimed action adventure games to date. Playing as Ulysses, sole human survivor, the gamer crash lands a spaceship on an uncharted planet 1,000 years into the future. Players soon discover evolution has taken a cruel twist where Apes rule and human beings are at the bottom of the food chain. In a bid for survival, gamers will progress through this huge action adventure game and unravel the mystery of the complex story line. Using a unique real-time cinematic style camera, players will explore 15 immense levels with a total of more than 70 distinct sub-levels. Some of the game's other features include solving intelligent puzzles, fighting various foes such as giant bats, mutated rats and rabid Hyenas, using stealth capabilities to sneak past and trick apes, or blasting out of sticky situations in times of crisis. With over 2,000 lines of dialog, gamers will converse with a multitude of different characters to stay alive and advance in the game. Blending over 1,000 amazingly realistic motion-captured character animations, puzzles, action or stealth-based game play and an involving plot, Planet of the Apes is going to set new standards for action adventure games on the PlayStation and PC.
