Yep, it's definitely as odd as it sounds, but if that's your thing (I know it's mine), then you'll have a blast with this title.

After the novelty is gone, it’s an adequate, if goofy, golf title with passable technical execution. The camera system and graphics engine certainly won’t win any awards (there are definitely times when the poor camera and overhead view make it difficult to aim – especially on the futuristic levels), but I guess that’s not really the point. All in all, this feels like a stand-alone game that would have done better as a cool Mario Golf minigame mode.

Die abgefahrene Präsentation hat mir anfangs richtig gut gefallen, aber schon nach kurzer Einspielzeit entpuppt sich Ribbit King als ein sehr durchwachsenes Golfspiel. Geplante Manöver klappen wegen der wiederspenstigen Frösche nur selten, wodurch ernst zu nehmende Matches praktisch unmöglich sind. Im Multiplayer-Modus sorgt das zwar zunächst durchaus für gute Laune, nachdem man sich aber einmal herzlich über die unbeholfen herumhüpfenden Frösche schlapp gelacht hat, stellt sich auch hier schnell Langeweile ein. Für eine schnelle Mehrspieler-Runde zwischendurch mag der Titel durchaus taugen, ein ernsthafter Konkurrent für Marios kultiges Fun-Golfen sind die knuffigen Frolfer aber nicht wirklich.

You'd never expect this to be a sports game, with a name like Ribbit King. And a game of golf no less. With frogs instead of golf balls (hence the name, ‘frolf'). But that's what it is, and it's one of the wackiest games you'll play.

Un souffle de fraîcheur qui apporte originalité et drôlerie que ce Ribbit King. Maintenant, il est dommage que le gameplay soit si limité et les modes multijoueurs plats et sans réelle consistance. En somme, le titre aurait mérité un peu plus de réflexion dans sa jouabilité pour réellement convaincre. Par contre, son humour reste sa meilleure arme et puisqu’on évolue plaisamment dans le jeu, pourquoi ne pas tenter l’expérience en occasion ?!

The only thing Ribbit King has going for it are its cut scenes and cute art style, which are almost enough to charm you into playing (until you remember how long and painful the matches are). It's hard to recommend this beyond a rental -- and that's only to see how weird it is. I can't even recommend it as a title for a younger audience because of the difficulty curve and associated frustration.
