Amazon.com Review

Every now and then a game is released that redefines genres and raises the bar for the competition. Frogger: The Great Quest is not one of those games. In fact, it's so bad that it just might set game development back 20 years. While the 1981 arcade game Frogger was a simple, enjoyable, addictive experience, this title is a banal and uninspired 3-D platform game that preys on the nostalgic feelings of those who enjoyed the arcade original. There are many superior 3-D platformers available on the market, as well as many Frogger games more in tune with the initial title.

The game has Frogger on a quest to find a princess who can transform him into a human through a kiss. The developers attempt to mimic the 3-D platform action of games like Crash Bandicoot and Rayman, but fail to deliver on many fronts: the controls are unresponsive, the camera system is infuriating, and the graphics suffer from clipping and frame-rate problems. Players can beat the game in fewer than five hours, and it would be a lot shorter if the load times weren't so horribly long. One of the few positives is that the game's 15 levels are quite picturesque; that is to say the game looks good when nothing is moving. Players nostalgic for Frogger fun will be better served by the excellent Frogger's Adventures: Temple of the Frog for Game Boy Advance. --Raymond M. Padilla

Pro:

• Colorful levels

Cons:

• Horrible controls and camera
• Lots of clipping and frame-rate slowdown
• Extremely short

1.0 out of 5 stars FROGGER--- If I could have given 0 stars, I would!!!, December 12, 2001

IN a word, aweful. Despite all the hype before it was released, this game is the pits. Why? The controlls are jerky and annoying, the camera gets stuck and lost, you cannot save during a board, the cutscenes are unintelligible, it is pointlessly hard--I must have spent 2 hours trying to jump on a railing to ring a bell the railing was right in front of me but since he hops, it is purely random, lastly THE GAME GETS CONSTANTLY STUCK-- for example, if you jump from under an island (and you spend most of your time swimming)you get stuck inside the graphic of the island, and there is no escape!!! And since you cannot save the game during a board, just at the end, if you get stuck on a puzzle, or trying to jump on a railing, or to keep from getting stuck in computer limbo, it is purely maddening!!!

Instead, try Jak and Daxter (I am not a developer or in any way affiliated with any game company...etc..) The most fun I've had since I first played Spyro the Dragon!! WHen oh when is there going to be a new game for PS2.... I cannot recommend Jak and Daxter enough--everything this game gets wrong, it gets right.

If you rented Frogger, you would stop playing after an hour.

I'm sure there is a worse game for PS2, but I can't think of what it could be

2.0 out of 5 stars Konami never finished it....., January 28, 2002

By 

Karanna (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frogger: The Great Quest (Video Game)

a BIG disappointment.....frogger is practicly impossible to control, the graphics are grainy, I never get headaches from playing a video game but this one will give you a migrain! the extreme jerky movements and the way the view gets thrown off from the slightest odd jump will make you want to smash this game! not to mention the "story" ...all it is ..."once upon a time there was a frog who rescued a princess from some goblins and when she kissed him he turned into a prince" so un-original! also there is only 5-6 hours of game play! and most of this is running around trying to find out what on earth you are supposed to do! but the worst turn off is the errors. this is what I mean by they didn't finish it! you will often find your self stuck in some invisible wall usually the sounds go bonkers, or you wait there until some enemy finishes you off. another one is enemies getting stuck in wood, rock or something so you can't kill them and again the sound goes bonkers. but the worst of all is when the game totally freezes! then you have to re-start your ps2 and of course the game....I gave it 2 stars only because it had some OK game play but it deserves 0.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it does resemble Mario, Frogger's Quest is a challenge, December 19, 2001

This review is from: Frogger: The Great Quest (Video Game)

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.
