    This is just a clone, but one that is done well-enough.

    The multiplayer support is what's the real winner here, giving the game something original to share with other GBA owners without the need for extra copies.

    The new additions to the "Frogger" gameplay actually end up hurting Zapper rather than helping it.

    "Enemies" in this game have absolutely no AI and merely circle a pre-destined path, and you merely are required to avoid them. That’s it. I suppose this is a good thing because actually controlling Zapper is akin to Sisyphus attempting to roll that boulder up the mountain in Hades.
