Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Fight for humanity as Ulysses, a deep-space astronaut shipwrecked on Earth nearly 2,000 years into the future. To his horror, a deadly breed of intelligent apes has evolved from mankind and now dominates the Earth.
Amazon.com Review:
The good news is that this Planet of the Apes retelling isn't quite as bad as the Tim Burton film. Though not directly tied to any of the movies, this ape adventure is based in the world of the original 1960s movie and book. As stranded astronaut Ulysses, you find yourself in a decidedly inhospitable world run by apes that have a penchant for keeping captive humans running around in loincloths. There are some friendly primates and humans to be found, but it's the mean monkeys that are bent on stopping you from learning their many secrets.
Sadly, the game's many blemishes include boring combat and a horrific save system that only works between levels. The overly familiar Tomb Raider-ish gameplay features plenty of button pushing, important object locating, and ledge grabbing. But the outdated visuals, droning voice acting, and occasionally awkward controls will keep seasoned gamers from coming back for more. With a little more care this title could've been a top banana, but sadly the gameplay is overstylized and underripe. --Mark Brooks
Pros: - Outdated but functional graphics that should run on older PCs
- Should be very familiar to anyone that has played any of the Tomb Raider games
- Better than most Planet of the Apes films
Cons: - Almost completely unoriginal gameplay
- Boring combat
- Pitiful save system that only allows you to store your progress between levels
Amazon.com Product Description:
Fight for humanity as Ulysses, a deep-space astronaut shipwrecked on Earth nearly 2,000 years into the future. To his horror, a deadly breed of intelligent apes has evolved from mankind and now dominates the Earth. Hunted to near extinction, the ragtag human survivors huddle in fear of the Ape Empire.
Against impossible odds, Ulysses must infiltrate the simian society and halt the genocidal plan of the ape general Ursus. Familiar faces like Cornelius and Dr. Zaius and new terrors like Mandrill assassins and renegade baboons await in this pulse-pounding tribute to the sci-fi cinema classic.

It is a good game for a casual action/adventure(graphic adventure) fan if only it worked in Windows XP. In fact, aside from its native OS it doesn't work at all! Very rigid flaky program. The content and gameplay is really quite fun, not anything breathtaking or revolutionary but a nice ride. I am willing to write about it not working in XP but it will never work because unless some win 98 emulator comes along(via a selfless 3rd party like DOS Box's Sourceforge), this game will be long forgotten ...

This is not a knock-off. As such, the movie feels as dated at the movies. The game itself is fun, but in a retro-kind of way. The game play is clunky at times and counter-intuitive, but the interface is relatively simple and easy to use. It is almost like playing "Thief 2" but not quite as cool. Not early as much shooting as a game like Quake or Doom, as you are often a captive and must escape almost naked, overpowering the next guard you see with a knife, club, or even your fists (good luck with that!). ...

I am not a big video game player but I am a big POTA fan. Having said that, I love this game!!! It is so well put together. It is well thought out and a lot of fun. It is not full of mindless violence. In other words, although their is some violence, this game requires the player to have a brain, too. I am at an advanced stage of the game and look forward to finally beating the game but will be sad when its over. I wish UBI Soft would come out with another one. Good job UBI Soft!!! I can't say enough about ... Read More

Like most other reviewers said, the beginning of the game is more or less a rip-off of the original POTA movie with Heston, even going to the Stewart corpse and crashlanding. Even the set is exactly like the original albeit with a modern twist.
Anyway, being an avid Planet of the Apes fan, I was pleasantly surprised by meeting all the old characters (Cornelius, Zira, Dr. Zaius, and even General Ursus!). But this is where my biggest gripe about the game comes in. The voice acting! I can stand the ... Read More
