Billed as an action adventure, you play the role of Ulysses, the sole survivor of a crashed spaceship on an uncharted planet years into the future.

And if you've never seen the film you soon discover that evolution has taken a macabre twist whereby apes rule, and humans have been relegated to the lower branches of the evolutionary tree. From a third-person perspective, the story unravels over 15 huge levels, incorporating intelligent puzzles, and skirmishes with a variety of foes including giant bats, mutated rats and rabid hyenas.

Both firepower and discretion will come into play, with three different modes used to negotiate the environment, namely Stealth, Normal and Athletic.

In addition to the action elements, the game is set to feature over lines of dialogue. Some original characters from the films have been maintained, but the game will also introduce two new simian castes, the promisingly named renegade baboons and mandrill assassins.

The game isn't released until next year, so until then you'll just have to drag your knuckles and make like a chimp. Planet of the Apes for the Game Boy Advance actually focuses more on the original classic rather than the remake even though it isn't the same story as either. You play an astronaut named Ben who goes in search of Taylor Charlton Heston's character from the original.

After you crash on Earth years after you left, it's time to follow Taylor's path in hopes of finding out his fate. Planet of the Apes takes the form of a classic 2D-platform game. Run around, jump, climb, crouch, roll around, pick up some items, confront enemies, and try not to get killed in the process.

That's the gist of this game. But don't expect it to play like most other platform titles out there. This particular title falls into an interesting sub-category of 2D-platforms that require more precision, thinking, and timing than your average title. I think this game compares best to three games from about 10 or so years ago: Out of this World , it's sequel Flashback , and Prince of Persia.

You could possibly compare it to the more recent Oddworld series of games such as Abe's Oddysee, although the control isn't quite as responsive. If you've ever played the games I've listed above you know they all have a few things in common: precision control, lots of thinking and perfect timing to move, using the right item in the right location, and that orgasmic animation gracing your TV or monitor.

Planet of the Apes falls in with these other games quite nicely and is little different in terms of these qualities. The control is responsive but you need to be careful how you move. If you tap the D-pad just then you'll walk, but if you hold it down you'll run. The same goes for moving while crouching and rolling. You'll see that there are many times when you find yourself tapping your way across a platform so you don't fall off when you aren't ready.

Positioning yourself in the proper place to jump or fall from is critical and it takes some time to get used to how close to the edge you can stand which actually isn't real close. Surprisingly you cannot climb down ledges, but rather you have to fall to the level below.

As with all of these types of platform games, there is a bit of a learning curve to get used to controlling your character because of how the animation interacts. During the course of the game, you'll acquire a small inventory of weapons, ammo, and health packs.

You can select and use these as necessary and you'll find that with limited ammo you need to select the best weapon for the best scenario. There are four weapons you'll come across: knife, pistol, shotgun, and machine gun and in that order no less.

In some cases you may find that the knife is the weapon of choice if you're close to an enemy whereas the machine gun works well against several enemies at once.
