Frogger 2 Feature

By | May 19, 2008 | Uncategorized |

A while back, we became aware of a new Frogger 2 in the works for the XBLA. Yet, we didn’t ever see any new information pertaining to the game, and even wondered if we would ever see it. However, we just finally found the achievements for Frogger 2, thanks to one of our readers – Havocks. But… what game are we talking about, which Frogger 2 would we see?

For those unaware of Frogger history, let’s fill you in…

Choice 1: Frogger II: Threeedeep! was a sequel to Frogger, and was made by Parker Bros and Hasbro in 1984, where the goal was to maneuver each frog to a berth at the top of the screen. Once all of the berths are filled the player progresses to the next level. Unlike its predecessor, the game features three consecutive screens for each level rather than one screen per level, with berths at the top of each of the three screens that need to be filled.

Choice 2: Back in 2000, Hasbro Interactive, Blitz Games and Konami put out another Frogger 2 game, which was released on the Dreamcast and was also a sequel to the original Frogger. The game was part of the Frogger series, and the sequel to Frogger (1997), featuring similar 4-way movement gameplay in a 3D world. Unlike its predecessor, Frogger 2 featured a choice of different characters to play with in the game, and several multiplayer modes.

We are assuming that Frogger 2, from choice 2, will be making its appearance to the XBLA in the near future accoridng to the achievement information, which is embedded below for you all to see!

    My one question is really just… Why?

    While some games can be revamped to make them better, it's still going to be the same game in this case.

    I would prefer developers spend time and energy creating unique games, instead of revamping stale titles…

    I've never actually played a Frogger game…is it something like Pac Man or Centipede?

    Wow never played Frogger? The first one is out on the XBLA. You should try the demo. I think you'll enjoy the 2nd version coming out a lot better though.

    If I did play it…it's been so long ago that I don't remember it.

    I have the first Frogger (XBOX Live Arcade). I think I only bought it because I thought it'd be the "next big thing". I'm still going after the Co-op achievement but I won't be able to get it as no-one has it and no-one ever plays it online!

    Frogger 2 (if choice 2) will be a must buy and the achievements don't look too bad either.

    They do it for nostalgia's sake .. Personally, I still enjoy playing these basic games, sometimes as much as the new games. It brings back good memories of my old gaming days.

    Played the original in trial form. Didn't like it, AT ALL.

    Frogger OWNS! But I have not played a Frogger since the original that was any good so I may just stick with the Frogger I already have on XBLA, I need to go and try to finish up the achievements. I will give this new Frogger a try when it releases though.
