If you liked "Mario Golf," you'll love Ribbit King. There's not much depth, but there's more than enough charm and fun to make it worth your twenty bucks.
-
It may not be a technical marvel or something that will keep you occupied for days on end (it's best played in 30-minute bursts, in my opinion), but it's hard to deny the energy and enthusiasm the game brings with its off-kilter PaRappa-style characters, a kooky sense of humor, and the welcoming playability that developer Jamworks has packed onto the disc.

Nintendo PowerSeriously silly. [Aug 2004, p.122]
-
After the novelty is gone, it's an adequate, if goofy, golf title with passable technical execution. [June 2004, p.123]

games(TM)Its a whole different ball (well, frog) game when a human player sneaks in a huge round or even a Frog-In-One rather than watch the AI do it time and time again in the main game when the playing field is obviously even, theres much more fun to be had. [Oct 2004, p.107]
-
Both a unique and amusing game, but not everyone is up for the amount of time it takes to actually complete a game.
-
But after a while, hitting frogs just doesn't fufill the same amount of happiness that it did when you started.
-
It would be nice if it were a little deeper or offered a few more ways to play, but wed recommend anyone looking for some light and wacky sports action to look no further than Ribbit King.
-
Mind numbing. My main complaints are that there's too much dead time -- where you're forced to watch animations you've seen countless times again and again (there's no way to skip them) and the game is a lot more about luck than it is skill. It's also not fun to play (not a good thing).
-
Cheat Code CentralIt's fun for a time while you experience all its unique aspects but the Well of Fun begins to run dry after the first hour.
-
So weve got a pretty original concept, executed in a completely uninspired and unoriginal way.
