    It’s 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, there’s much more fun to be had. [Oct 2004, p.107]

    Seriously silly. [Aug 2004, p.122]
  3. After the novelty is gone, it's an adequate, if goofy, golf title with passable technical execution. [June 2004, p.123]
  4. Both a unique and amusing game, but not everyone is up for the amount of time it takes to actually complete a game.
  5. But after a while, hitting frogs just doesn't fufill the same amount of happiness that it did when you started.

    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).

    It'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.

    It would be nice if it were a little deeper or offered a few more ways to play, but we’d recommend anyone looking for some light and wacky sports action to look no further than Ribbit King.
