    Unfortunately, the camera grates throughout proceedings and you often find yourself either stuck behind scenery or with Frogger running directly toward you and thus not being able to see where you are going.

    Although suffering from flaws on all fronts (particularly control), I think I can point to the reliance on item collecting as the primary culprit that brings The Great Quest down hard.

    Something just short of eye bleeding disaster...Let this frog drown.

    I can’t remember a more boring example of the game’s genre in years. [Feb 2002, p.107]

    One of the worst games in Konami’s storied history, Frogger: The Great Quest doesn’t live up its title, its heritage, or its company...A froggin’ waste of time.

    The game's control is about as bad as it gets...Character movement is very choppy, the jumping is imprecise and it's all made even worse by the game's many camera problems.

    And here we have the heavy weight contender for the worst plat-former to ever grace the Playstation 2. Sometimes you just have to askAnd here we have the heavy weight contender for the worst plat-former to ever grace the Playstation 2. Sometimes you just have to ask yourself...why? Why such poor control? Why are the characters made of rotten vegetables? Why so many plot holes? And why does the Dark Trail Ruins level sound like a Scribblenauts stage? At the end of the day, I say this game has done more harm than good. While it does fall into the category of hilariously-bad games, I feel bad for all the young children that accidentally stumbled upon this cauldron of nightmares. Despite being an E-Rated game, this game contains a handful of foul words. Like the mad scientist Dr. Starkenstain saying the words "Your really pissing me off". There's also tons of terrifying enemies in this game. They may be easy to defeat, but be prepared for a handful of jump scares. That Bone-Cruncher beast, the demonic fish in the river levels, the ghosts. Their going to give your kids some serious night terrors. The only credit I could give this game is that I enjoyed some of the music tracks. It's just a shame that their paired with annoying platforming and lazy level design. In fact, while I was playing through the Dark Trail Ruins level, I fell into the void below and watched my entire world turn inside out. It's fun for older audiences who want to make fun of terrible gameplay. Like this one time, tree scorpions pinned me to a wall and jabbed like their lives depended on it. Frogger is technically the villain of this game. He's a greedy piece of fungus crossed with a hormonal teenager on a great quest to fulfill his cliche desires of forcing a princess to kiss him. So far its the most broken game I have ever played.… Full Review »

There isn't a single item in this game that brings this experience anywhere near to fun. The controls are hideous, the story is a cringing mess, the voice acting is as hackneyed and badly acted as it gets. This is a truly appalling game that isn't worth a single second of your time.… Full Review »

So one time i went to the flea market shopping and i found this frogger game for like $2 i piked it up and drove home i putted in my ps2 and started playing i like the story i thought the story was pretty cute it was a good plot and for some reason people had problem with the controls but i did not it controlled fine but it took a little bit to get use to but it was okay the levels had some boring parts but it was mostly meh at best but i had some fun with a lot of the levels and the cutscens looked pretty good and the voice acting is meh so that the postives but how about the negatives well at least one part of the level drags out the graphics look like a n64 not a ps2 i thought it was a re release of a ps1 game but not huh i guess im stupid but whatever this game is ok and thats good and i think it should not have harsh criticism and if your looking for a game you could have fun with for a couple hours here is a good one.… Full Review »
