My husband and I recently purchased PS2 for ourselves (no kids) and Frogger: The Great Quest was one of the first games we rented and then purchased. We love it!...We've had the game for weeks now, and while we don't play it constantly, its great for an hour or two of play at every sitting and we're only a little more than halfway through. Its challenging enough to be fun but easy enough that you don't dread playing. In other words, its not impossible and that's what makes it fun. If anyone remembers the Nintendo game StarTropics, this game is in the same vein. It involves searching for and finding items and defeating foes. I don't know what the other reviewers hated about this game, unless perhaps it wasn't violent enough and wasn't impossible to win. For two adults, 37 and 43, we're really enjoying this game and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is not into the blood and guts type games and simply want a challenging but "dooable" fun time.

A great game for kids of all ages

What a blast! The game is a lot of fun, with a little bit of everything. It plays great with a variety of challenges, it has wonderful graphics and lots of surprises. Also some very humorous characters you encounter on your journey (some had my kids laughing out loud). It's challenging enough that it takes a while to get through (I've been playing for 20 hours or so and haven't reached the end) but not so tough that younger children (such as my 7-year-old daughter) can't enjoy it. Buy it now if you're looking for a game for your kids to play on PS2.

This 3D interactive game gets you hooked from the start. And you won't want to stop until you save the princess. My neice, nephew and I had hours and hours(weeks actually) of entertainment.

Frogger: The Great Quest is awesome! You get to fight vicious pike fish, killer bugs, and frightening cats. You also get to encounter frog fairies, humans, bears, alligators, and much more. The graphics are almost perfect, but sometimes there are some hard-to-see places. All in all this is a super game and it is worth every penny.

I loved this game. My son is always wanting to play Dad's shoot'em up games, and that's not going to happen! This games has the same adventure feel, except it's more tame. Frogger can help kids think, be more patient and problem solve. The Frog-Fu and spitting goobers are much better than shooting guns and killing. I think any kid would love this game.

Yes, it does resemble Mario, Frogger's Quest is a challenge

This game is not at all like the Frogger of old. Gamers who are expecting the challenges of trucks and cars squishing the persistant reptile of old should pass on this game. However, Froggers Quest is not easy, but may cause older players to lose interest. We initially purchased the game because we are long time Frogger fans, but I did end up giving the game to the kids. I have not given up on finishing Froggers Quest, but it is a game of coins and gems that kids love to seek out. The enemies are not hard to beat, but the secrets do require a little work to unlock. This game is worth keeping, and will seem similiar to Mario. However if you are an adult with hopes of a very high challenge game that enhances the Frogger of old, pass it to the kids and stick with the brutal semi-trucks that caused your Frog to pant with fear.

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?

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 $...

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!

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.
