Is this the most innovative fifth-gen game? It's the only one I can think of that utilized two analog sticks really well.
Also, innovative retro games thread.
I disliked using the analog to swing the net, pointing a direction and pressing a button will always feel more intuitive to me.

I wouldn't really call the controls innovative so much as kind of obtuse. Rotating the control stick to spin your propellor or swing your sword was a pain the ass, for instance. Sure, it was cool to be able to control a toy car and run at the same time, but for every moment the control gimmicks worked there were dozens where it fell apart. All said, however, Ape Escape is a very fun and solid game and I love to replay it every couple of years

This. It makes more sense in the context of games like Gunstar Heroes and Smash TV where you NEED to have independent aiming from movement, but with a platformer like this you'll almost never find yourself needing to swing in a direction other than the one you're facing.
I must be retarded because I could never get rowing down pat.
>It REQUIRES an analog controller? WHAT A SHIT GIMMICK
I literally thought that. Boy, how wrong I was.

I don't see what's so "innovative" about it. Care to share?

Nothing. Saturnfags cling to it because it's the only decent game on the system

Swinging the net was fine. It was shit like spinning the stick to double jump that really rustled me.

I love the infinite jump glitch with the slingshot. I recently beat the game using that trick, and it was fun as shit. It didn't even make the game that much easier, it was just hilarious to levitate and explore the levels differently.

Can you name other 2.5D flying/acrobatics score-focused games like it?

I always ignore the boat and just swim in every Ape Escape game
>>3113908
The game suggest (I think) you rotate the sticks like you're rowing a boat, though in my experience I just tilt the sticks in the direction I want to go, like the tank.
PS also try rowing backwards for better speed.

Oh, fuck you and your stupid agenda.
