Amazon.com Review

Originally released in 1981 by Konami, the Frogger arcade game is considered an all-time classic. Since then the property has been transferred to several owners, many of which tarnished the Frogger tradition. Now, back in Konami's hands, the little green fellow brings back everything people loved about the original arcade game, but with a modern twist.

Frogger's Adventures: Temple of the Frog pits Frogger against the evil Mr. D, who has stolen the mystical elements that nourish the hero's marsh. Frogger must make his way through 15 levels spanning six environments in order to find the elements. After every few levels, he must engage in a boss fight. Like in the arcade original, Frogger spends most of his time hopping left, right, up, and forward, but in this version he must deal with more than moving cars and snapping crocodiles. The game's levels feature all sorts of perils, such as mazelike conveyer belts, spiked floors, and crumbling platforms. There are also 32 different types of enemies standing in his way. Among the few downsides of the game are its short length, the lack of variety-adding options, and the fact that the coin system that allows you to reach the last level is easy to fool.

This is a great example of how to properly update a classic. The simple gameplay of the original Frogger is intact, but the developers have added clever levels, bright graphics, and modern game mechanics to the mix. This game is sure to please longtime Frogger fans, as well as create some new ones. --Raymond M. Padilla

Pros:

• Easy-to-learn gameplay
• Levels add a new twist to classic Frogger moves
• Four in-game save slots

Cons:

• Lack of options
• A bit short
• Coin system is easy to cheat

5.0 out of 5 stars 43 year-old finds GBA bliss!, January 20, 2002

By	Michael F. Ferguson (Honolulu, Hawaii) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the first game I've ever bought, and it's great! I'm sure that some more experienced gamers might find it too "simple", but if you're like me, and new to this GBA system, it offers _plenty_ of challenges, believe me. Reminds me of the games I used to play in arcades. But this Frogger is much more fun and "involved" than the old version. Frogger is always under threat of danger, but he's non-violent, choosing instead to outwit his opponents, or just avoid them altogether, as he goes about his mission (through several wonderfully imaginative, totally different "worlds") of collecting the items he'll need to save his swamp-friends back home from the Bad Guys who've come to town. Under proper lighting (a challenge in itself, with the GBA system), I was totally jazzed by the intricate graphics, and vibrant colors. I do like to turn off the "music", as I find it irritating, but the sound effects can be left on by themselves, and add to the fun. The game can be turned off anytime, and restarted later at the same point you left off, which is a nice feature, too. This game is perfect for kids or adults who are looking for a fun way to enjoy the GBA system...and help out a plucky little frog at the same time! I couldn't recommend it more highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOP TO IT!, November 28, 2001

By	SeaDream91 (USA) - See all my reviews

I'm an adult gamer who has grown up with Frogger and has really enjoyed seeing him become better and better as the years have progressed. In my opinion, this is the best Frogger yet, although I also enjoyed Frogger 2, GBC's contribution to Frogger's metamorphosis. The graphics on the GBA are far superior to GBC's and Konomi has taken advantage of this in Frogger's newest outing. If you've been a Frogger fan in the past, you will certainly appreciate his newest "look." What are you waiting for? HOP TO IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars A kid's reveiw, November 24, 2005

By	Cats "Nat" (Lower Texas) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I think this game is challangeing, I am always up for the challenge. I finished the game after playing non-stop for a week. Me being 11 years old thought the finale level was the hardest, but it can be beaten. It is the only game I have ever played that got me addicted enough to finish it. I enjoyed the game but it was also frustrateing at times. This game and donkey kong country2 are my faves. But, it is my oppinion, play it yourself to find out yours beacuse I can't tell you what to think now can I?
