Recently, we were given the chance to try out Frogger for our Wii. I remember Frogger when I was growing up, along with so many Atari games. Who didn’t have an Atari when you were little? My brother and I were at that thing 24/7! Well, here we are, over 20 years later and Frogger is BACK!!
For those that had an Atari, this picture might bring back some memories! –>
Product Details
- The latest iteration of the classic arcade game now comes in a downloadable format and challenges players to safely deliver Frogger to his destination in a new 3D world.In Frogger Returns, players must employ familiar dodge-and-run techniques in order to help Frogger out of the busy city and back into the marshland. Gamers must also avoid the hectic streets, sewers and subways that obstruct Frogger’s path home. By utilizing new power-ups including time freeze, invincibility and time reverse, players can manipulate the various environments to make it home alive.
Complete with enhanced graphics, a new camera angle and multiple levels, Frogger Returns features local multiplayer capabilities and 12 times the content of the original game. Players can face off and put their skills to the test in the highly competitive timed challenges, capture-the-pad races and can even show off their best scores to friends with leaderboards.
Mom’s thoughts
- Hubby and I got this downloaded on our Wii and when we first got started with it, we were not too sure we would like it. To be honest, we didn’t really care too much for it, at first. We kept at it. This new Frogger does take some time to get to learn your way around, but overall, it IS a lot of fun! Seeing Frogger attempt to beat the traffic, the dogs, logs, (second level) subway, then a conveyer belt was so much fun! I think I got more laughs out of it than hubby because he was trying to rush to get Frogger past all the challenges too fast.
Overall, great game to play! Lots of fun!
Cost
- Frogger Returns is available now for download on Nintendo WiiWare™ for 500 points, and will be available later this month on the PlayStation®Network for $4.99.
