    Great for kids and for the beginning gamer. Veterans will blow through it quickly.

    Fairly fun, especially when you can pass the levels. The game gets a bit frustrating when you know for certain that you should have landed the jump, and the controls and 3D perception could have used some fine-tuning.
  3. Next Level Gaming
    68
    Features some very good arcade-style gameplay that will somewhat take you back to the start of the videogame era, the days when you could play a arcade game for .25 cent, the days when you thought games like "Pac-Man" and "Pong" kicked ass.

    Retains the gameplay of the original that makes it enjoyable, but it just seems to be getting a little past it’s time for not only the gameplay, but the graphics as well.

    The cutscenes are better off skipped and there's nothing mind-blowing at work here, but the levels are clever, the bosses nicely creative and the mix of thinking and skill-based gameplay fun. [Dec 2003, p.85]

    The game's heavy emphasis on a disjointed and needless plot and some generally unimpressive production values are Frogger's Adventures main drawbacks, though they don't prevent the game from being enjoyable overall.
  8. Game Chronicles

    At the end of the day you will come for the single-player game and stay for the multiplayer modes. If the multiplayer modes don’t interest you then you will want to rent or simply skip this title.
  9. GamingWorld X

    There isn’t anything found in this edition of Frogger that would justify a purchase.
  10. IGN

    A rather bland experience. It's not bad, but it's not good either. Some new types of puzzles, like pulling platforms closer to you, adds some more puzzle variation to Frogger, but the puzzles aren't that challenging.

    An average adventure game that owes little to the original Frogger license.

    Although it's good that the game tries to stay true to its '80s roots, the unnecessarily complicated controls, distracting plot, and bland visuals keep it from being much fun.
  13. Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

    Once you get past the counterintuitive controls, Rescue serves as a completely serviceable hop-a-thon for tadpole gamers. [Jan 2004, p.133]

Even though the GBA games also take place at firefly swamp, or at the very least it's mentioned. Anyway, this has to be my favorite of the three. In case you're wondering, the other two are Frogger Beyond and Frogger Ancient Shadow. Adventures The Rescue is not a perfect game, it does have many flaws, including ones from most Frogger games. Such as generally unknown hitboxes, slow animations when trying to do something and things like that. But other than that, it's a fun time. Simple, but great looking graphics, interesting puzzles (although some of the later ones can be frustrating), good music and fun and chaotic multiplayer. The cutscenes are mainly for the kids, but they're still enjoyable. Going back to the multiplayer, if you're playing the PlayStation 2 version, have 4 controllers and a multi-tap for PS2, it does go up to 4 players for multiplayer, so you and 3 other friends can have a good time. Not my favorite Frogger, but it's one of the best.

    2016 Review: This is a pretty solid Frogger game. While it's not your typical Frogger game, it still feels like one. You just aren't getting frogs across the street or saving frogs. I mean you are saving frogs, but not in the way you do in the PS1 Frogger games. The story you can tell is for kids, but it's a good one and can actually get a little intense at times. Some puzzles in the game can actually get pretty hard and made me really have to think about what goes where. The multiplayer modes can be pretty fun. Overall, it's a really great game.    … Full Review »
