First caveats out of the way- if you're expecting a game based on the newer, modern version Hasbro released for PC and PSX, you'll be disappointed. This is a straight adaptation of the original early 80's arcade game, rather than an update. And, if you were disappointed by the SNES version, don't worry- the Genesis version makes up for it.
The box art for this (and every other Frogger game since the Hasbro Interactive version) is somewhat misleading; despite the modern appearances, this isn't a modern game. What it *is*, is a classic game from the early heyday of video games, done faithfully on the Genesis console.
It's surprising on several levels to see Frogger on the Genesis; Sega themselves were embroiled in a legal fight over ownership of Frogger, and lost- ending a rumored attempt in the mid 90s to convert Frogger to the system along with some other early Sega classics. This game also appeared a while after the Genesis platform "died"- IIRC this is the last standard commercial release for the Genesis- and came out with little fanfare.
Overall, the price is right, the conversion is faithful, and the game is a classic. If you remember Frogger from back-in-the-day, this is a great purchase. Plus, you can foist this upon your children as an example of what was fun when you were a child...

If you like donkey kong, the one that was played on the first nintendo. This game is much like it and i think you would really like it. However donkey kong still has this game beat. I purchased frogger because i always remembered that it was always checked out when i went to the video store and i figured it must be good, but i am disappointed the graphics they are once again very comparable to nintendo. Sega games should be better than nintendo period, I have many sega games and have never encountered this before. Good thing the game was cheap :)
