Player hate if you must, but the varied terrain, elevation modeling, ephemeral bursts of colored eye-candy, and other neat optical tricks should do platformer fans proud. But you have to admit the tunes really get your heart racing, which was the audio production team's intention. It's rough when even a product's musical score is working in tandem with the environmental hazards to throw one's game off. Mercifully, the sound clips are cute and tame, especially the playful grunts used to depict character speech. Audio-wise, you'll hear no complaints from us.
Comments Talk about a surprise.
Frogger 2's 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. Let this be a lesson to budding developers that one needn't reinvent the wheel to produce a high caliber game. Kim Presentation Holy frijole, even the menus are fully animated, vibrant levels. This sucker's pretty lively for a PlayStation disc. Now THIS is what we like to see.
