Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue

Frogger mad a pretty huge impact back in the old days. These days, with thousands of videogame titles to choose from in every genre imaginable, a game like this just might get lost in the shuffle. Frogger’s Adventures: The Rescue is not a bad game. It is a pretty fun title that can also be as addicting as the old games. The new and improved graphics, though not groundbreaking in any way, are also a welcome. Frogger has been around since 1981, and he has pretty much withheld the test of time.

Frogger's Adventures doesn't take the series into any real new territory, which is both a blessing and a detriment. While it retains the same solid gameplay of its recent predecessors, the story is far too elementary to appeal to anyone outside of the youngest gaming audience, and its noticeably aging graphics don't do much to help the cause. However, if what you seek is solely some quality Frogger gameplay, and you're willing to forgive the facile story and run-of-the-mill graphics, Frogger's Adventures is certainly worth a look. It may not reinvent the franchise, but hey, it's still Frogger, and that's certainly worth something.

Frogger's Adventure: The Rescue is 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. Control is also an enemy and is rather unintuitive -- causing several pointless deaths.
