Official Fact Sheet:

Immersed in a series of increasingly frantic missions, you – playing the part of Hawk, the pilot of the prototype Battle Engine, codenamed Aquila – take part in a saga that sweeps across a ravaged globe. One man can make a difference?

A sudden climatic change triggers a global crisis and a dramatic betrayal propels an adolescent misfit from obscurity into the middle of a conflict that pits one ancient enemy against another in an epic battle for survival. The Battle Engine Aquila world consists of a series of islands that are the result of devastating climatic change brought on by centuries of atmospheric pollution. Rising water levels and floods have left only the highest ground above water. With land at a premium, tensions have built between the surviving nations, as each one tries to stake a claim to the precious dry land, increasing the landmass for their swelling populations.

Each encounter takes place upon a vast battlefield, with war raging between two feuding sides – the Forseti and the Muspell. This is a major war, with thousands of units engaged on each side, ranging from infantry to tanks, planes, battleships and artillery.

You alone must pilot the fearsome Battle Engine Aquila, a behemoth war machine and the single most destructive unit on the battlefield, capable of patrolling from the ground or attacking from the air. One-on-one you can destroy most individual enemy units, but you cant take them all out single-handed – there are simply too many of them!

• Detailed, complex battlefields, with thousands of units drawn over lush, rolling landscapes – with the player right in the middle!
• Immediate, addictive arcade gameplay.

And did we mention the fire?

Where a bunch of guys would once play fight in their yards, they now perform outrages stunts. Backyard wrestlers think nothing of throwing opponents off 25ft high rooftops onto flaming tables and inflicting super violent acts with baseball bats wrapped in barbed wire.

In the world of Belkhyde, Mana and alchemists exist only in legends and folktales. Eden, the legendary land of Mana floats high in the heavens. Away from humans, both Mana and alchemists live in peace and harmony.

The lands of Eden and Belkhyde were once united in harmony until the time of the great catastrophe. Eden, a land of Mana and alchemists, distanced itself from Belkhyde, fearing contact with the humans and monsters there will lead to their destruction. All is well until Chaos resorts to the legendary power of alchemy to save his sister. Now two orphans, Felt and Viese must save Eden from crumbling. Felt transports to Belkhyde with the power of his azoth. It is up to Felt to stop Chaos? mad quest, while Viese struggles to protect Eden from further destruction.

• The story events set the setting and explain your mission. The initial goal of the game is to save Eden from destruction.

This mission is bad. Worst I have ever seen. Not long ago, we had this region secure under the supervision of one of our own, Colonel Blintz. That changed when Blintz was injured in the line of duty. Medics did what they could, but he sustained a ?massive, disfiguring head wound?. Long story short, there?s a chunk of plastic missing from the top of his head. Blintz has lost his mind?literally! With the help of a bucket of paint, Blintz has gone Tan, and now we have got to find him. Blintz was famous for inspiring loyalty?his men would march across a grill if he ordered it. This aint gonna be easy.

Time has long since passed since humans came out of the underground shelters. The Organization of Controlling Corporations (OCC), which was founded in order to begin reconstructing society, quickly loses its power as stability returns to the land.

Realizing the power that could be had in controlling the planetary resources, the OCC quickly launches into action a plan that will erupt in civil war and completely destabilize society for their own evil gain.

New to the series is Nexus? ?active mission? feature, which takes into consideration a player?s in-mission actions in order to determine how they advance through the game. This allows the player to become more immersed in the adventure and derive a better sense of cause and effect.
• Multiplayer Options – Quite possibly the series? most popular feature, head-to-head multi-play is included with the title and enables up to four players to compete against one another using either i.LINK or for the first time ever LAN.

The Professor, away on a trip, leaves a video message for Hikaru, telling him to transport a large delivery of monkey pants to Monkey Park. Hikaru accidentally manages to include a number of Peak-Point Helmets with the pants. Peak Point Helmets and monkeys don’t mix: they increase their intelligence and give them ideas above their station. Needless to say, as soon as Specter, the monkey leader, puts a Peak Point Helmet on, he starts hatching plans for world domination, to make a society fit for monkeys to live in, and declares war on humans. Meanwhile several other monkeys also don the helmets and escape from Monkey Park. Hikaru is scolded by Natalie for allowing this to happen, and ordered to catch all the monkeys.

• As soon as you complete a stage, you’ll be able to load that stage at any time and try to better the time it took you to complete it, with the Time Attack mode.
• In addition to the 20 main levels, there are eight different bosses to fight on their own, specially designed levels. Tougher and more complex than the boss fights in the first game, each requires special methods and tactics to be defeated. Five of the battles will be with the Wooky Five – Specter’s gang of monkey goons – another with a Wooky transformed into a gigantic version of himself, and two will be showdowns with the evil Specter.
• As well as the nine monkey-catching gadgets from the first game, (such as hoops, nets and stun clubs) Ape Escape 2 has three new fabulous objects to help you in your ape-hunting escapades. All three have multiple uses:
• The Water Pistol puts out fires, can be used to drive items in the game (such as the windmill) and even repairs damaged vehicles.
• The Banana Boomerang acts like monkey fly-paper: they’re attracted to its smell, but then get stuck to it. It can also hover in the air, emitting sweet monkey-attracting scents, be used as a weapon and to retrieve difficult-to-reach objects.
• The Magnetor attracts metallic objects, can steal metal items from an enemy and is so powerful it can even lift whoever’s wielding it toward heavy metallic objects.
• In addition to the boats and tanks from the first game, you now have new vehicles to help you in the new environments, including a nippy snowmobile for the freezing wastes, a miniature submarine for underwater exploration and your very own robot – always handy for robot fighting.
