Don't Jump for Frogger

I was really looking forward to this game. However, I was disappointed once I started playing it. The graphics are terrible. The game is very slow. Controlling the frog is awkward. I'm really sorry I wasted my money on this one.

An utter disappointment

Take it from one of the original frogger fanatics -- the retro level is not even close. They tried adding more detailed graphics, and ended up completely slowing down and destroying the game. You're not even allowed to see the entire playing field, only the next few jumps. All this for more detailed bumps on logs. Ridiculous. It's also hard for me to understand how the play can be so disastrously jerky when computers must be at least what? 1000 times faster than 20 years ago? Even the typeface is completely unreadable. What a shame.

(To top it all off, the highly paid professionals that just plain ruined this game seem to have spent most of their development time on frog fornication graphics. Embarassing and juvenile, but not particularly appropriate for an 8 year old.)

In the arcade game, you cross the street to get home. In this new version, you collect baby frogs to save the population. There are many new obstacles, and some fun parts here and there, but getting all of the baby frogs at once I think is too much to ask. For one thing, you're timed. That makes it nearly impossible to do anything but the quickest way. The music is okay, but the gameplay is choppy, the graphics are like enlarged pixels, and you have to play the levels over and over to know what to do. In short, it's a waste of time that can get way too addicting, even with the quality. I don't see why you need to save the population 225 baby frogs left, and there are many farfetched ideas of bad guys. It also crashes my system, and my friends', too. I'm glad this game isn't mine.

Disappointing , at best

Originally this was purchased hoping for a duplicate of the arcade game from days gone by, but unfortunately it left alot to be desired. The graphics are average at best and the game is far too easy beat. Frogger II Swampys Revenge is a far better deal for your dollar than this game.

You play this on modern machines, you will regret it!

If you are going to buy this game and you have a new machine, don't! I tried this game on my newest machine, and the graphics look very bad on a modern 3D graphics card, because, the card is not compatible with the game. If you want this game so bad, look all over your house for a Pentium 2 machine with an outdated 3D graphics card, or buy an old machine that comes with the 3D graphics card.

I know Frogger is a classic, but...

I don't like Frogger. Never have. This version was received to me as a Christmas gift (gee, I seem to say that in EVERY one of my reviews!) and I hate how difficult it is. Yes, the difficulty lies in maneuvering, but it's *really* hard. Even the very first level (the street level) is pretty tough. Finally reaching and failing the cloud level (over and over again) is when I finally said "no more!" and pulled the game from the computer. This was 5 years ago and I'm still happy about the decision.

Cool old game for PC

Frogger for PC used to be one of my favorites several years ago, but I quickly lost interest when newer updated game came around.
The game itself is fun, with comical graphics(I play it just to see Frogger get smooshed by a vehicle)and is also tough in later levels. A hint in the dark areas is to ALWAYS croak, not only does it brighten up the floor around you for a split second, but you can also hear the little froggies near by.
Finding the golden frog in the first 4 area cubes is pretty easy, then it gets a whole lot harder later.
Multiplayer is fun, but it gets really cramped on the keyboard if more than 2 people are playing at once(Up to 4 players may compete)
Just because this is an old game does not mean anything, I recommend this if you want addicting computer games.

Frogger is a neat game with dozens of challenging levels, nine unique worlds, cool music, and 3-D graphics. Frogger is an excellent game for people who have skill and like to fun. People of all ages will love Frogger. GET THE GAME FROGGER!

Just like the original, but still fun

Frogger has the exact same gameplay as the original. The only thing different about it is the graphics, the sound, and it has more levels. It is basically an updated version of the original. The graphics are pretty good. Everything in the game is colorful. The only thing that looks weird is when you look at the front of Frogger's face. It looks kind of messed up because he is made of polygons. The sound is pretty good as well. Except the buzzing of the flies that frogger can eat. That is a little bit annoying. That is why you want to eat them as fast as you can. The controls of the game are pretty simple and easy to handle. Its all on the arrow keys. Overall I think this game is a classic, and is fun to play. I recommend it.
