Frogger the greatly annoying quest

I think that many fans of the arcade style games will be disappointed in this game because it simply lacks the cuteness held by its pc counterparts. There aren't really any perks to this game;we find our cute adult frog hero and his family (including a wife and countless children) replaced by an annoying adolescent frog that, while finally being able to swim (unlike in the other games), is lame on a level that issimalar to watching a dog chase its tail for 98 hours. Flimsy graphics give the feeling that the game was released too soon (along with the nausea that comes with the freaky camera).

So let us take a moment of silence to mourn our beloved cute Frogger (voice sounds as if from above "Let us never forget that cute little guy who recued babies from peril, or that arcade format we know and love, or all those direct directions .We will miss you Frogger we will miss you!"...)well the new one STILL stinks so save your money and buy a Spyro or Crash (Bandicoot) game.

Good for beginners

This game was great for me - but I'm new to 3-D adventure games. Until recently I was playing on a Gameboy Color and avoiding all games in 3-D because they made me dizzy. This game is paced slowly enough that I can actually get used to 3-D gameplay. It's alot of fun but the graphics don't always keep up with the action, several times I've been stuck in a wall for a few seconds because the view didn't update quickly enough. It's also not what I expected when I heard "Frogger", I thought I was getting an updated version of the original but it's really a different game playing on the Frogger name. Even so I really like the game and recommend it to those looking for something a little slower-paced.

Terrible game!

This PS2 game is pretty bad. The storyline is rather stupid. I found the graphics to be colorful but overall not that great. Also, you spend a lot of time swimming in rivers and waterfalls, but there is NO sound of flowing water! I played this game for about an hour before giving up on it. Maybe little kids will like the colorful, cartoony graphics, but that's about it. Definitely not worth buying to add to your library. Rent it instead if you really want to play it.

an embarrassment to sony and to playstation 2

i rented this game when my 11 year old (girl) cousin came over. we both agreed, this game is terrible. and this is from my cousin who is a huge frogger fan and owns every PC frogger game. even though this game is only $$, it isn't worth a penny. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME! here are a list of GREAT games that are also only $$ and are rated "E" for everybody (kid appropriate).

GRAN TURISMO 3 (realistic racing simulator)
PAC MAN WORLD 2 (platformer)
ATV OFF ROAD FURY (ATV off-road racing)
SSX TRICKY (snowboarding racing)
NAMCO MUSEUM (4 classic namco arcade games on one disc)
CRASH BANDICOOT THE WRATH OF CORTEX (warning: very long load times, but the game itself is a good platformer.)

Bleah!

This game stinks! I dan't know why they would make a game as bad as this. I reccomend Barbie's Horse Racing Video Game instead of this and I'm a boy!
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Oops! Sorry for the inconvienence. This game doesn't have any Pros!

Cons:
The graphics
The gameplay
The controls
The dialouge
The game in general
Someone might buy it for you

If I had an option to give this game 0 stars, I would. No wonder it's 80% off the regular price!

Worst...platformer...ever

Sadly there's nothing that can be said of this game in the positive, except for perhaps the colors and the relative size of the environments.

Simple doddering enemies, the most wretched controls of all time, pointless collecting (the "reward system" is laughable and nothing more), poor overall graphics, [poor] framerate and brainless dialogue make for a terrible game through and through. After 1 hour and several levels in, I wound up chucking the game -- not in frustration, but in disgust.

The only audience fit for this game is the 4-9 year old crowd, however, they'll probably only wind up crying after trying to get around the horrible controls, which you can't.

If you're a big platform fan you may want to check out Sly Cooper instead.

Frogger is good Family Fun!!!

I bought my husband a PS2 for his bday, and being a child of the 80's, when I saw they had a Frogger game for PS2, I just had to get it(plus it was cheap -). The game is nothing like the original game, but me and my husband (who are both in our early 30's) absolutely loved it. There are some annoying things about the game (mainly camera controls/views), but overall we found it just challenging enough to keep you playing, but not so challenging that you get totally frustrated or need cheat codes or something to play it. Frogger takes you through a fantasy world reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. The levels are colorful and very creative. He searches through these levels (including water, a castle, a river boat, catacombs, etc..) to find the princess who he thinks will kiss him and turn him into a prince. Along the way, he collects coins, gems, magic stones, and fights a variety of bad guys. Many of the characterers are quite humourous, and there are lots of movie references in the game - such as the Cat Dragon, who sounds just like Sean Connery in Dragon Heart. Overall, the game was lots of fun, and a good stress reliever - and at 9.99, I definitely feel like I got my money's worth out of it. Other than the annoying camera controls, I really don't know why so many other people that reviewed this game gave it such low ratings?

Summary:

Pros
- approximately 16 colorful levels to explore.
- suitable for children of all ages.
- good game for stress relief (not overly challenging).
- nice soundtrack.
- cute characters and storyline.
- it's CHEAP! (less than the cost of going to a movie!).

Cons
- Camera views (never seem to be where you want them to be).
- Long hours of playing can give you motion sickness (due to camera controls).
- Some glitches in game - things getting stuck in objects, clipping plane problems, etc..
- May not be challenging enough for serious gamers.
- Some of the dialogue is pretty cheesy.

I think the Pros definitely out-weigh the cons - especially at $...

No Way

I fail to see how Konami could release such a terrible game. Don't even think about renting it because you will want your money back. It's terrible with a capital T. It has the word bad written all over it. Don't even bother to look at the cover, stay far away.

Frogger for PS2

As an employee in the R-Zone section(video games) of a Toys R Us, I often recommend this game to parents looking to buy their young children a game. The graphics arent a "10" but who cares. It's easy enough for a child to pick up and play and not need a strategy guide. If youre looking for the next edition to the classic 80's arcade game you've come to the wrong place. This revamped oldie is nothing like its predecessor. Here Frogger has taken on a whole new role as an adventure hero (similar to PacMan fever) Like I said, if youre looking for classic Frogger dont get this game, but if youre looking for an appropriate game the kids can have a lot of fun with and also play with their parents, this is definitely the game for you. Hey, for ten bucks, how can you go wrong?

Good Game but I've seen better

I know this will date me but I've always loved Frogger since I got my Atri when I was 10 yrs old...but this game gives me a headache. You can never seen where your going and there is no way to freeze the camera angle in one position. You might need to turn around to fight the bad guy but the camera is still facing the other way and you can't see to excape/fight. My husband says I just need to get use to the new stile but I'll take my Atri (or Super Mario Brothers) over this any day.
