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).
