Longtime PlayStation are waking up to a bit of good news this morning - Sony has just announced a brand new entry in the Ape Escape franchise, coming this summer to the PlayStation Network. Hope you've bought a Move controller...

The aptly titled PlayStation Move Ape Escape issaidto generally play like priorgames in the series, except now with wiggle-waggle motion controls. So now you'll be using the glowing Move controller to locate and capture rogue monkeys through a variety of different environments.

There are 15 levels to be exact, and the method of catching the apes involves using the Move controller as avariety of contraptions. More than 500 monkeys are up for grabs, and players will be able to keep track of them in their "MonkeyPedia." In addition to the main 15 levels of gameplay, PlayStation Move Ape Escape also has multiplayer mini-games such as "Tag Rally," "Slingsnipe!" and "Sprayzer Defense Force."
