Inspired by the simple, addictive gameplay of the original arcade game, Frogger Beyond launches our green hero into a whole new world of challenges, obstacles, and platform-action fun. The adventure begins as the young hero faces the Elder Council on the eve of his birthday and is told that he must overcome a series of challenging obstacles as a right of passage into "teenagehood." Frogger's troubles begin when our leaping lead frog sets out to conquer the lush world that he inhabits and is quickly faced with fierce foes and challenging puzzles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the Classic some justice, January 6, 2003

Like the other new versions of Frogger (the ones for PC), the game starts deceptivily simple and then gets more challanging as you progress. The animation of the "story" isn't too bad, though the dialouge is VERY bad. Luckily, you can skip the story by pressing start. The idea of the game is to go through all of the levels in different worlds as Frogger goes through a "rite of passage".

I LOVED the ORIGINAL (classic) Frogger (I do have some memories of playing it on Atari when I was pretty young) and I enjoy the first PC version. Frogger Beyond does some justice to both of these. The themes for the worlds are similair to the first PC version, but you will not hop around looking for baby frogs. I have not seen any cars to avoid in the game yet, but I have seen bugs to avoid and they remind me of the "traffic" in the orignial and PC versions. There are logs, lilypads and other moving objects to travel on as you move past each level.

The game does not have the best graphics I've seen on Gamecube, but they're not bad. Overall, I'd say that Frogger Beyond, like the other versions I've played, is "just tricky enough to be addicting." If you like the other versions of Frogger, you'll probably enjoy this one as well. If you're not sure, then rent it first (though I think once you play it you'll be hooked).

3.0 out of 5 stars An average attempt to modernize a classic., June 19, 2003

This review is from: Frogger Beyond (Video Game)

"Frogger Beyond" consists of 7 main worlds, each of which contains 3 levels plus a boss. There is also a much smaller eighth world. There is no level boss and it almost seems like it was tacked onto the end of the game without any purpose.

The gameplay? Exactly what you'd expect from this game. You spend a majority of the time watching your enemies. They move around in precise patterns and you have to figure out when and where it is safe to jump. It's not exactly stimulating but it remains close to the original "Frogger" by keeping a basic strategy.

Other reviewers have mentioned the camera problem. It definitely is a nuisance. You cannot change the camera angle and you will die many times because you can't see exactly where you are jumping.

The difficulty of each level varies wildly from easy to quite challenging. Gamers who aren't patient will hate this game. As stated before, you will spend a good chunk of time observing patterns of movement and many kids will get frustrated. Frogger gets to occasionally ride on a snowboard and a mine cart in an attempt to spice up the gameplay a little bit.

"Frogger Beyond" won't win any awards for originality but it serves its purpose well enough. If you have a bit of nostalgia for the little froggy and you enjoy basic platform games then you might want to give this title a try. If you're looking for a more expansive game or something for kids then you'll probably end up disappointed with this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars eh, frustrating, April 5, 2003

This 'Frogger Beyond' game would be SOOOO much better if you could contrtol the camera, but alas, you cannot.

Many many times you end up jumping off the board, jumping to a place you didn't want to jump to, but you could swear the floor continues...

Well, bottom line, this COULD be a fun and difficult puzzle game, but instead it's just frustrating and not worth my time. I don't like not being able to see what I'm doing. (i also don't like the Resident Evil games where you walk around "blind" corners right into enemies.)

Nice try...
