From the back of the box:

A boisterous band of baboons carry out a daring zoo escape. It's ape anarchy and it's up to YOU to stop the chimps before they make chumps out of the human race!

From the manual:

MONKEY MAHEM!

Spike, can you hear me?... It's Natalie!

You've warped through the time station and you're miles...actually centuries away. The good news is that the Professor's Time Station is a huge success! The bad news is that you, Jake, and a wild band of mean monkeys are lost in the past! I'm sorry we weren't able to explain what was going on in the lab before you were transported away but... we were "tied up!"
Anyway the Professor and I were about to test the Time Station, because it seemed like we were pretty close to making it work. When all of a sudden, the door flew open and a gang of monkeys ran in and took control. They were all wearing the Peak Point Helmets that the Professor had created!
Their leader is Specter, that sly little simian from the Amusement Park. Somehow he got ahold of the Peak Point Helmet and his intelligence level is unbelievable! While they were tying us up, I heard Specter ranting about changing history! He's going to make the monkeys the masters of the world, and put all the humans in the Amusement Park!
We need you to stop them. You're our only hope. But beware, with their helmets on, the monkeys are much smarter that you think. The Professor's putting the final touches on some new Gadgets. We'll send those to you as quickly as possible. In the meantime, watch out for those apes!

This is one unique action/platformer. You basically run around trying to catch chimps with your net, but you have a ton of gadgets at your disposal to reach those chimps in places that are hard to get to. There are mini-games galore in Ape Escape as well to add variety and lastability to the game. The graphics and sounds are quite nice and the game has a ton of replay value. Two bananas up for Ape Escape.
