So it's worse than Gears 3 ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Awwww, but Tak "One Mirrion Troopssss" Fuji kept going on about this on his Twitter and he had me sold
Maybe this is a good thing. It might be the first drop in a flood of shovelware to be ported to the 3DS. That would increase the 3DS's library manyfold!
I get the feeling you would have been just as critical if they had delayed this long enough to make it a better game.
Looks so much worse than Frogger: He's Back! on the PS1.
Which, as you know, is the greatest 3D platformer of all time.

Wait, Frogger? FROGGER?! This was actually in development as a $30 3DS title? I mean, sure, there's... 3D and probably some nice levels but I can play the original Frogger at work right now for free. Why the hell would people pay $30 for this?
Alas, poor Frogger, I knew thee well...
One of my first gaming memories before even SMB... Talkin bout dat C64.

You guys ever notice how games rated below a 5/10 never have a .5 attached to them? It seems like review scores get less specific the lower they are.
@Konami
This could have been on the eShop. Currently the only other game on 3DSWare game is Let's Golf. You're game would have stood out more, and probably sold better at a lower price point. This game is destined to clutter up bargain bins everywhere.

Not surprising. ;/ It looks terrible.
The fact that Swampy's Revenge on the PS1 has better graphics is a dead shame.

i was actually looking forward to this... and will still probably get it sooner or later... Frogger is a good time waster... and good "in between SF4 matches" waster.
Y'know, the Frogger game for the Dreamcast was surprisingly decent, with some damned entertaining multiplayer as I recall.
Sounds like maybe your not too good at Frogger, I'll buy it, love this games and I liked the last outing of the franchise, bought it on WiiWare, kind has the same flaws as this one, I'll still enjoy it,
What no Seinfeld reference ?

Jim you're just bitter you had to pay real money for this game ;) Money earnt from writing this < money spent on frogger 3D, unlucky!
Ive learned not to pay attention to any review done by Jim Sterling. It's all about bashing with him. Furthermore, this game is actually pretty fun to play, not deep unsurprisingly but a nice way to waste some time.
sorry, but this review is bull. first, let me pose one thing that was glaringly obvious and frankly retarde.
"I tossed the game aside when I hit the aforementioned coins stage,"
Don't see it?
"I tossed the game aside when I hit"
See it now? No?
"I tossed the game aside"
Hmm. Well, this stupid reviewer failed to mention that this is literally about a third of the way through a game. A THIRD. Call me old-fashioned, but isn't it kind of stupid to "review" a game you HAVEN'TACTUALLY FINISHED? Yeah, sure, you can play through half a game and get an idea of how you feel about it. but quite frankly, reviewing a third of a game is complete bullshit. you, sir reviewer, are an utter moron who should not be reviewing games. as a game, it gets much less tedious further in the game. but you wouldn't know that, would you? No, you're too busy reviewing games you've barely played. well done, good sir. well done. for everyone else who's commented here, please know that this is an awful review. this game is not the best ever, but it is nowhere near as bad as this moron who calls himself a journalist would have you believe. the "skewed perspective" happens in maybe two or three levels, and isn't hard to get around, either by turning on the 3d or memorizing the stage a little bit. you know, like we do when we play pretty much any platforming game ever. it honestly sounds like you just weren't good at the game, threw it down, and wrote a rage-review. Destructoid, why, WHY do you still have this man on staff? Seriously, this is one of the stupidest reviews i've ever read. other glaring idiocies present:
"Unlike Pac-Man or Donkey Kong, Frogger is a name that has never been mentally associated with anything other than the original arcade title, due to his subsequent games' failing to make any impression whatsoever. "
this is a false comment, and shows an entirely too obvious lack of research. i admit not many frogger games have been well-known, sure, but some =/= none. the frogger games for the playstation and dreamcast were both well-recieved and remain to this day the most popular games. by the way, as an aside, this is more opinion than anything but i feel reviews should be written in an unbiased tone. reviews, believe it or not, are NOT there to bash a game or to gush. they are there to inform people of a game's quality, THOROUGHLY, so they can be assisted in making a purchase decision. this review is horribly skewed and biased. just saying. next! "Such contrivances include a slot machine that spits out coins -- coins that are indistinguishable from the pile of gold you're hopping across, so you can't see what's coming" first of all this statement is actually false - in the two or three levels that involve coins the backgrounds are bright white, and the coins are both easy to see and patterned. skewed opinions are one thing, but flat-out LIES? shame. "and trucks that randomly speed across roads, crushing any player who wasn't clairvoyant enough to get off the road in time." you say this as though it's in every single level. funny thing is, it's literally only in the first world. Interesting. Wonder why you didn't mention the more clever traps later on in the game? OH WAIT. "but they rely on repetition and take far too long to deal with." if three minutes is "far too long" then you literally should never play a video game, ever. seriously not a single level in this game takes longer than three minutes unless you mess up, and then it's YOUR fault, not the games. "In Frogger, where you're plodding a small frog along a map, only to be boringly squished, it feels like a massive waste of time. " actually there are a majority of unique death animations for many of the obstacles, in addition to the (not mentioned at all! hey look more bad information) achievements of sorts you get for them which are frequently amusing if not funny. But you wouldn't know that, would you, mr. "i only play through a short bit of games before i make an official review" guy? "The boring levels are simply retreads of the classic "hop from A to B while avoiding cars" dynamic, which is about as compelling as the original arcade game -- inoffensive, but hardly amusing." by your logic here, every platformer ever is "jump from a to b" and every shooter is "shoot guy a, turn corner, shoot guy b" yes, at the core, that's what we're doing, but it's HOW that's varied that makes it interesting. same thing applies here. usually there is 1 (out of 10 or 11) level per world that is classic-y, and each one has a new twist. "There's a multiplayer mode, but it's not online because this is the year 1992. " hey look how informative this sentence is!!! except wait it literally doesn't tell us anything about the multiplayer god freaking forbid a person should want to play locally. "oh it's not online so WH O GIVES A CRAP" is NOT, i repeat, NOT an informative statement, just saying, man.
"if there was any humor or character in there" oh hey those achievements are at least an attempt at humor. oh and the many deaths of frogger. oh and also the random wtf moments. but wait, you wouldn't know about those since you only played through 1/3 of the game. oops, sorry! "Given that its longevity is mostly made up of stages that repeat themselves, that the gameplay input is simplistic, and that the core mechanics are considerably shallow," hey look you just described literally EVERY PLATFORMER EVER MADE. moron. "When your big selling point detracts from the enjoyment of your product, you're in trouble." and uh...who exactly said 3d was frogger 3d's big selling point? maybe it's the return to classic gameplay, varied level design, or first legit portable frogger game in forever? Nah, definitely not. tl;dr, this man is a moron and should not review games. also, on a somewhat ironic note: "With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty" uh what are you arguing exactly? also it sounds like you specifically make your reviews controversial. seriously? how freaking old are you? like, 13? a review shouldn't be about being different. it should be about being informative. pricks like you give journalism a bad name. "dedication to brutal honesty" oh so saying things about a game you didn't finish is honestly? well, f*** me i've been doing it wrong all my life. "Likes PS2, iPod Touch, Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid, Dynasty Warriors 3" WHY THE HELL ARE YOU REVIEWING A PLATFORMING GAME. Honestly, this game isn't that good, and i do at least agree that the graphics really aren't anything special, but come on. You're just a horrible reviewer. Learn to journalism, man.
"I tossed the game aside when I hit the aforementioned coins stage,"
Don't see it?

See it now? No?
