Monkey see, monkey do. And they're doing more than just seeing, hearing, and speaking no evil. They're racing. In Japan, it's called Sarugetchu: Piposaru Racer. In the US, quite simply, Ape Escape Racers. Konami is expanding their Ape Escape franchise, in the same sense that Nintendo came out with Mario Kart. While you've always had racers that drive your carts, this time around you get your racer turned into the cart itself.

Your monkey-drivers have various cart-parts strapped into them: wheels, rims, spoilers, and all. The point of the game is customization. The more races you win, the more money you can get to tune up your monkey-cart. There's over 40 kinds of machinery that you can mix-and-match onto your racer, and sometimes speed is not always the best way to go. You might be going real fast, but once someone bumps you, you're in for a spin.

Well, for those who are Ape Escape fans, this game looks promising. The idea of mechanically turning a monkey into a car is a bit disturbing though, but hey, that's the fun of video games. Everyone has "mad scientist" tendencies, don't they? Or maybe that's just us...

Ape escape is owned by Sony, not konami.
