Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge is an actionvideo game developed by Blitz Games and published by Hasbro Interactive for the PlayStation, Game Boy Color, Microsoft Windows, and Dreamcast. The game is part of the Frogger series, and the sequel to the 1997 remake of Frogger, featuring similar 4-way movement gameplay in a 3D world and 6 different environments. Unlike its predecessor, Frogger 2 features a choice of different characters to play with in the game, several multiplayer modes, and an in-game storyline. A Nintendo 64 port of the game was planned, but was later cancelled.^[1]

Gameplay[edit]

The PC and console versions of Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge features significant changes to the gameplay that differentiates it from its predecessor. Although the gameplay objective of the Frogger series remains unchanged (the player has to collect five small frogs in order to win the game, all the while avoiding level-specific obstacles and enemies), the general gameplay has been retooled to a more traditional platformer. The level design structure has been changed to a more linear format, compared to the complex level maps from its predecessor which requires the player to actively explore and seek out the frogs. Due to the linear nature of the levels, all five frogs placed sparingly throughout each level, doubling as checkpoints for the player should they lose a life. The gameplay also lacks a time limit, though the player is graded at the results screen on how fast they completed the level.

The gameplay has also been significantly expanded from the predecessor. Players can now choose from a selection of frogs (with players alternating between Frogger and Lillie in story mode), albeit they all share the same moveset. Frogger's 'super jump' from the first game (an ability that allowed him to jump to higher-placed platforms) was expanded to also allow Frogger to perform a 'double jump' after using it, which can be used for clearing platforms with short gaps in front of them. Likewise, the ability of Frogger to croak was tweaked to allow players to use them as a beacon of sorts to find the small frogs-when Frogger croaks (represented by a circle that expands outwards from him), the small frogs will croak back through a similar beacon that the player can use to determine their location. Frogger also retains the ability to use the tongue to devour insects is also present, which like in the previous game can grant the player a higher score or an extra life depending on the insect consumed. Levels now include 25 coins scattered throughout each level that player can collect; with the reward for collecting them all in one level playthrough being a new game mode or an additional playable character. The game also features a multiplayer mode, which supports two players in the PlayStation version (four with a multitap) and can support up to four players in the Dreamcast and PC versions.

In contrast, the Game Boy Color version of Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge plays a lot closer to the original arcade game, though this game also has changes as well. Instead of collecting frogs, the player merely has to reach the end of each level, avoiding obstacles along the way. Flags are marked as checkpoints for the player to respawn to should he lose a life, and gems can be collected as a means to add to the player's score. A time limit also exists, so the player has to quickly reach the end of the level before the time runs out. Twenty four levels are spread throughout five worlds (Frog Ponds, Gator Lairs, Ice Caves, Lava Pits, and Lost Mines in chronological order) for the player to complete, with Frogger and Lillie available as playable characters.

Plot[edit]

Swampy, a crocodile whom Frogger jumped on in the past, gets revenge on Frogger by stealing the many baby frog siblings of his girlfriend, Lillie Frog. Frogger and Lillie pursue Swampy through various worlds rescuing the baby frogs along the way. Swampy travels to space, where he uses a satellite to broadcast a commercial for his own game, Swampy: The Game. Frogger follows in a rocket that Lillie manages to activate, and corners Swampy in a space station, where a device transports them back to Earth during Halloween. Swampy attempts to create his game in a factory under a haunted house, by using the baby frogs. Frogger and Lillie attempt to stop him, but end up trapped in a cage being lowered towards a pit full of magma. Swampy's plan goes errant after one of the baby frogs, named Tad, escapes the conveyor belt and starts playing on the controls, in the process freeing Frogger and Lillie, releasing the other baby frogs, and severely damaging the machine, quickly building up into an earthquake. After the frogs escape, the factory and mansion explode from the malfunctioning machine, and Swampy is flung off into the distance.

Development[edit]

The game was announced on May 5, 2000, in a press release.^[2]

Reception[edit]

Jeff Lundrigan reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that 'It won't win any awards for originality, but Frogger 2 accomplishes what it sets out to do and proves enjoyable enough.'^[14] It was a runner-up for GameSpot's annual 'Best Puzzle Game' award among console games, losing to Samba de Amigo.^[15]

In comparison to the mixed reception of its predecessor, Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge was received much more positively. IGN, who gave the game's predecessor 2/10, gave the PC and PlayStation versions of Frogger 2 a rating of 8.5,^[10][11] stating that 'after Hasbro's frightful first effort with this old classic, Blitz Games sets things straight'.^[11]GameSpot rated the game 7.1 for the PC version, 7.0 for the PlayStation version, and 6.9 for the Dreamcast version, while giving the Game Boy Color a more mediocre review of 5.4. Metacritic gave the game 77/100.

Description of Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge

Frogger was rebooted in the mid/late 90s to rather mixed reviews with “Frogger: He's Back!” Frogger 2 offered more Frogger goodness (or badness, depending on how you felt about 90s Frogger) with a few tweaks and improvements and wrapped into a new “story” (though, I use the term loosely).

The player has to clear deadly trap- and enemy-filled obstacle courses while collecting little frogs. Unlike Frogger 2's predecessor, levels are more streamlined and linear, resulting in a more traditional arcade platforming experience.

The world of Frogger is bright and colorful and filled with all sorts of weird pastel things that will kill you. The biggest problem I have with Frogger is that even though it looks shiny and new (by the standards of 2000, anyway), the mechanics feel frustratingly old and clunky. While environments and enemies are all 3D rendered with fluid animations, Frogger's gameplay is entirely tile-based—this makes it difficult to judge timing on moves and jumps because Frogger and his enemies have hit-boxes that take up the entire tile. A lot of times, you'll be left wondering “How did that thing hit me? It should have been still in front of me/already past me!”

Frogger 2 offers several play modes, including challenges (time-attacks), multiplayer, and story mode. With Frogger 2 available on X-Box Live, you're probably more likely to find multiplayer there than for PC these days. Most folks picking this up will likely be going for Story Mode. Annoyingly, Story Mode may only be continued after being dropped back to the main menu and reloading the mode with the last level selected. And with how tough Frogger 2 is, you may be needing to continue a lot.

If you're a die-hard Frogger fan or morbidly curious about this rebooted franchise that you may have missed out on, Frogger 2 may be worth checking out. Otherwise, skip. Given the frustrating degree of play precision required along with the lack of reward, it's not great for casual play.

This is memory central!! I loved Frogger so much. That was before the time of the smart phones when all mom and dad had were landlines and flip-phones. Who remembers the landlines?? So much fun answering it and giving the tella-marketers a hard time lol.

While this is my favorite game of all time, your rip is pretty terrible. While it has the gameplay intact, and the files for the FMVs and music, they are not playing in the game! Some of my favorite aspects of this nostalgic treat are nowhere here!
