![]() The game plays largely vertically, and are all similar in length. Each world has a different theme as well. I like the variety of the settings. ![]() ![]() It looks good enough, and the style works. The graphics and sound are okay, but nothing special. Of course, as it’s on 8-bit hardware, it fits in quite nicely in that regard. Cutscenes are minimized here there are a few static-screen images, and text boxes when you talk to the helper frog who gives you hints along the way (oh, do read them, they can be amusing) and at the beginning and end of the game, but this is a game you play more for the journey than for a great ending. Also, the two frogs aren’t just identical, they swap out on the pause menu - you can change from green to pink by pausing and then hitting select to switch. There’s no main villain in this version, only babies to rescue at the end of each world, and they aren’t really collectables here instead, gems are. In the game, you control Frogger or Lily Frog in their quest to rescue all of the kidnapped baby frogs. So many second-tier handheld ports that generation had password-only saving, but Hasbro paid out the extra cash for a battery, and it really makes a difference - you won’t need passwords, and it will save your best times and whether you’ve gotten all the stuff in each level as well. Pong: The Next Level for GBC barely even has any levels (it has like three), never mind a battery! More effort went into this one.įrogger 2 –there is no subtitle on the GBC - is a fun, but challenging, game. It was that good.Īdditionally, I want to say thank you to Hasbro for putting a battery in this title. It hooked me and kept me coming back until I finished it, and even though it might not take as long to finish thanks to the small number of screens in each level, I’d probably rank it just as high as the DC game overall. Frogger 2 for GBC is a great, addictive, and challenging game that I loved. I found a copy and, because the console title was good, though t the handheld one might be worth checking out as well. ![]() I got this game in 2011, after playing through the Dreamcast title above. After the success of their first new Frogger game for PC and Playstation in 1998, Hasbro started work on a sequel. It’s a good game, and I reviewed it recently. This time, however, in addition to the console game, Hasbro also got the handheld rights to the license. This game, Frogger 2 for Game Boy Color, was the result. The developer, Morning Star Multimedia, was a somewhat short-lived studio that mostly made mediocre licensed games. They also did Hasbro’s extremely limited and disappointing GBC version of Pong: The Next Level, and the quite average original Frogger for GB/C dual-mode as well, published by Majesco in that case. Frogger 2 is a lot better than most any of their other games, though, and I genuinely like it. It’s also an original title, and not just a port like Frogger (GB/C) is. Yes, Frogger for GB/C is a port of the arcade original, while Frogger 2 is an original game it’s a little confusing, but it’s great this game happened. Frogger 2 is a very simple game, and if you don’t like Frogger games there’s nothing here for you, but anyone who does enjoy Frogger’s style of tile-based avoidance action/platforming as I do, it’s decently fun stuff.
