• The player character sets out to capture the apes with the aid of special gadgets. - What is the name of the player character?
• The lead can cover more information about its sequel and the series, as well as the reception of Ape Escape: On the Loose so that it truly summarizes the entire article.
• used to capture monkeys and transport them to present day. - "apes" instead of "monkey". This is Ape Escape after all isn't it?
• including a rubber raft, which requires both analog sticks to control, - Controls are not necessary.
• It was a very neat gameplay section. Well done!
• Can the plot section be separated into at least 2 paragraphs?
• experimental Pip Helmet created by a Professor and gives Pipo Helmets to all the monkeys - Pip helmet or Pipo helmet?
• and underwent great testing prior to finalization. - What underwent great testing?
• Development section is a bit weak. I understand that this is an old game but it will be better if there is more to it.
• published on November 18, 2011 by Terada's label Far East Recording - The sources say that it was published by Sony instead.
• Does the PSP port has any new features? Seems like you have mentioned a lot about its reception but do not really mention how it works. (For example, what are the new features, enhancements or new controls we can find in the remake?)
• You can use the multi-platform review template instead of using two separated template
• applauding the interactivity of the soundtrack - What does this mean? Music changes when gameplay pace changes? This should be mentioned in the dev or the gameplay section as well.
• despite the noticeable flaws of the game - What exactly did he criticized?
• 1UP's Jeremy Parish criticised the porting of the game, declaring it - You can add that he criticized the game for being outdated.
• Ape Quest was also released worldwide for PSP in January 2008. - What is Ape Quest? A sequel or a spin-off? You need to mention it as well.

Thanks for the review, AdrianGamer! I've gone through and made some changes based on your suggestions. I would love to expand the development section even more, but unfortunately no matter where I look I can't find anymore information; it's a frequent problem with older games, and it really sucks for their Wikipedia articles, but it's just something that we need to work around. Anyway, let me know if there's anything else that needs addressing. – Rhain ☔ 11:47, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
