****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: The "new" Frogger, that appears on PC and PSX, is
awesome. This game is not.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: You play just like the original arcade versions... cross
the road, cross the lake, get the target. You can play one or two players.
Um, that is about all I can say.

Liked: Stays remiscent of arcade, would be great if not for all the
problems... (see below.)

Hated: Gets boring.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Pitiful. Little stills show a frog raising signs that
say what menu you are in. Gameplay graphics are WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY TOO SMALL
to possibly enjoy. (Am I dead yet?) The graphics look not like the old arcade
game, but instead like a rip of the 3d version.

Liked: They took the time to add color.

Hated: So small that play is impossible. Needs a full view and zoom view,
like Pac-Man.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Don't even ask. They probably had a six year old 
bang on the MIDI keyboard, because their original Music Designer had the
day off. Sound FX range from None to Extremely Bad.

Liked: Nothing.

Hated: Bad Music. Bad FX. Bad.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Play Control and small graphics ruin this game bad.
Jump and target detection is awful.

Liked: Nothing.

Hated: There is better control on a road frozen solid with a Geo Metro than
in this game.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Zoom view. More types of levels. Better move detection.

RIYL: The other versions of Frogger.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: It's sad that there is not a decent version of Frogger out there
for GB, because if it was made correctly, it would be a nice addition to the
GB Library.
