5/7/2023 0 Comments Frogger 2 game boy color cover![]() ![]() In the previous game, flies and other frogs reward you with bonus points. Not only this, there are many different item pickups you can pick up as well. Suffice to say, there are substantial new obstacles you can encounter. In other worlds, you encounter rolling boulders, slippery ice, slippery oil, mine carts, spiders, bees, bats, and more. In the first world, you encounter the classic road and river. Unlike the classic obstacle course in the prequel, the courses change dramatically. The general course has been modified as well. If you complete the level, you’ll get treated to a picture of a frog with various pun jokes that describe the next level. Make it to the end goal and beat the level. Instead of getting multiple frogs across the dangerous river and highway, the goal is to just get a single frog across a gauntlet of obstacles. In this game, the reason the frog is trying to get from one point to another is because he wants to rescue his babies. The game follows a slightly modified storyline. For those who played these games on the Atari systems, this is not a remake of the game Frogger II – Threeedeep!. That game got a passable score, but didn’t really impress. It is a sequel to the Game Boy Color Frogger. We find out how well this adventure game plays. Given the frustrating degree of play precision required along with the lack of reward, it's not great for casual play.In this review, we play the very punny Game Boy Color game Frogger 2. If you're a die-hard Frogger fan or morbidly curious about this rebooted franchise that you may have missed out on, Frogger 2 may be worth checking out. And with how tough Frogger 2 is, you may be needing to continue a lot. Annoyingly, Story Mode may only be continued after being dropped back to the main menu and reloading the mode with the last level selected. Most folks picking this up will likely be going for Story Mode. With Frogger 2 available on X-Box Live, you're probably more likely to find multiplayer there than for PC these days. A lot of times, you'll be left wondering “How did that thing hit me? It should have been still in front of me/already past me!”įrogger 2 offers several play modes, including challenges (time-attacks), multiplayer, and story mode. While environments and enemies are all 3D rendered with fluid animations, Frogger's gameplay is entirely tile-based-this makes it difficult to judge timing on moves and jumps because Frogger and his enemies have hit-boxes that take up the entire tile. The biggest problem I have with Frogger is that even though it looks shiny and new (by the standards of 2000, anyway), the mechanics feel frustratingly old and clunky. The world of Frogger is bright and colorful and filled with all sorts of weird pastel things that will kill you. Unlike Frogger 2's predecessor, levels are more streamlined and linear, resulting in a more traditional arcade platforming experience. The player has to clear deadly trap- and enemy-filled obstacle courses while collecting little frogs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Frogger was rebooted in the mid/late 90s to rather mixed reviews with “Frogger: He's Back!” Frogger 2 offered more Frogger goodness (or badness, depending on how you felt about 90s Frogger) with a few tweaks and improvements and wrapped into a new “story” (though, I use the term loosely). ![]()
