    Not just a respectable update to a geriatric franchise, it's also one of the best platformers to grace the PlayStation so far this year.

    Mild entertainment but nothing too deep or significant for the money.

    Saying Frogger 2 is an improvement over the original 3D update is an understatement.

    While all the other pieces come together flawlessly, the lack of replay keeps the game from achieving greatness.

Getting the negatives out of the way, the frame rate (on PS1) took a step backwards. Instead of running at (seemingly) 50 or 60 FPS, this game runs at about 20 or 30 FPS (on PS1). It is mostly stable, but still. The game is also way more linear, so the camera isn't as free, though that part doesn't bother me too much, considering the game is built around that kind of level design to where you don't need to change the camera angles freely and it does work better than He's Back's camera. The story mode is also quite short. Like you can beat it in one go (if you know what you're doing) short. So if this were a portable game, it would take a family vacation's car ride to another close by state's worth of time to beat it. Basically around 2 hours or so. But despite all of that, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. The controls are greatly improved from He's Back. The graphics are still pretty colorful and in some ways improved. The cutscenes, while a bit weird, are very charming. The multiplayer is pretty fun and there are a ton of cool extras, including time attack, unlockables like levels, characters, mini games for multiplayer, a movie for concept art, altering the character's sizes and the "Feeding Frenzy" move where the characters can eat most enemies, hazards and other things. While the story mode may be short, there are many things to do in this game and it's just an overall great experience. This is my favorite Frogger game.

    2016 Review: Frogger 2 Swampy's Revenge is one of the best Frogger games out there. It's a really great sequel to Frogger He's Back, or Frogger 3-D as some call it for PS1. It had a simple, but decent story mode, fun multiplayer and some cool extras. The only thing I felt was a step back from Frogger He's Back was the frame rate and for certain things the art style and graphics. Otherwise, this game is slightly better than previous game, which was great too.    … Expand

    It's kinda mindless and pretty easy, but it's a lot of fun!
