they're good-ass games ヽ(´∇`)ノ

AE1 is probably the coolest, even if I think some of the later levels are kind of screwy with their level design

AE3 has a lot of cool ideas but a: cute girl is actually easy mode, several monkeys don't run from her, and b: while normal catching is made harder, all the morph upgrades make catching incredibly easy

AE2 was kinda just bland compared to both, if not a bad game from what I remember, I probably should give it another goo

rape escape is a better game

I feel like the constant introduction of new gadgets breaks the pacing too much. By the later levels, when you have most unlocked already, it manageable, but the process drags down the early game.
The camera also sucks dick. Too cumbersome to direct and not enough draw distance for a gameplay based around searching small monkeys

the camera does suck and I will admit that the later games aren't much better about it
the draw distance is what it is, although the helmets are drawn at further distances than the rest of the model specifically to alleviate the issue
