Editorial Reviews :
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
Buyer Reviews :
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.
