Frogger: The Great Quest

Frogger: The Great Quest is a 2001 platform game developed and published by Konami of America in association with Papa Yeti Studio for the mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows. The Game Boy Advance version was also released, but is a separate game.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Insanely ugly graphics and visuals that can be compared to budget games released in the late 1990s on older systems.
 * 2) * The biggest examples of the unappealing and grotesque designs for the characters, like Frogger's ugly redesign and there are other characters that look frightening.
 * 3) The controls are a huge mess, meaning that you would have no idea of what you were doing.
 * 4) The camera is lazy and annoying to put up with.
 * 5) The voice acting and dialogue are repetitive, cringe-worthy, annoying, and sometimes laughable. Frogger's voice doesn't fit his character at all.
 * 6) * In one part of the game, when Frogger battles against Dr. Starkenstein, the latter says at one point says "Okay, this is pissing me off!". Just to mention, this is said In an E-rated game made for children.
 * 7) * In the beginning cutscene, there is an infamously bad moment when Frogger says "Find me a princess before I bust!!" when he wishes to find a princess for himself. This is a kids' game and lines like that are extremely suggestive.
 * 8) Speaking of the cutscenes, while the game's story is coherent, it is very stale and predictable.
 * 9) * The writing makes Frogger come off as a selfish-minded hero who wanted to put the princess in a situation and he still expects to earn a kiss from her despite setting up the conflict, yet the princess still thinks he's actually attractive when Frogger defeats the final boss. If the game was written better, the princess wouldn't actually be into him.
 * 10) You attack enemies by spitting or using frog-fu at them instead of just simply jumping on them.
 * 11) The music, while actually good for the most part, is not even fitting.
 * 12) The game does not even feel like a Frogger game. It feels like a cheap and generic three-dimensional platformer game with the Frogger character thrown into it, which in itself isn't a bad thing except for the fact that Frogger is not himself in this game.
 * 13) * On terms of that, Frogger's redesign, as stated above, looks terrible. In the original games he was an actual frog, while in this game he's an anthropomorphic animal that wears clothes and speaks in natural language instead of croaking.
 * 14) It is so painful to play that there is no replay value at all.
 * 15) The game is very easy, as it was aimed toward younger gamers. It is also possible to beat the game without taking a single hit (citation needed).
 * 16) The Microsoft Windows version does not allow you to change the graphical quality or resolution.
 * 17) The game is very short, as it can be beaten in under an hour if you are smart or patient enough.
 * 18) Occasionally, you can get stuck in sections of a course, which forces you to reset your console or close the program on your personal computer, depending on which port you play.
 * 19) It's not even possible to collect all the coins, gems, or even all the magic stones in the game because of where they're hidden in some levels such as Slick Willy's River Boat, The Catacombs, and Goblin Trail.
 * 20) In the Catacombs level, you can't kill ghosts, but they can kill you.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The soundtrack is pretty good.
 * 2) Lumpy the toad makes his debut and would return in Frogger Beyond.
 * 3) It has its "so bad it's good" moments, especially in the hilariously bad cutscenes and the game's glitches that bring so many moments that are so stupid, corny, and awful that it's funny to laugh at.
