This is a clean, simple, and fun platform game that has plenty to offer gamers of all ages. Kids can enjoy it for the cartoonish nature and silly comedy, while elder gamers can use it to de-stress after the latest round of "Call of Duty" or "F.E.A.R."
Surprisingly, this latest Frogger adventure is quite solid. [Nov 2005, p.82]
There's an attempt to keep things endearing here, but making the game as tough and frustrating as it is and then aiming it at the young ones isn't a wise move.
The control mechanics in the title, initially jarring and overly complicated, aren't likely to mesh well with younger players, and the die-and-retry level design can be tedious.
Ancient Shadow doesn't bring anything new to the table, and, what's worse, none of the problems from the previous games have been fixed or improved.
An uninspiring platformer with unintuitive controls, bland gameplay, repetitive environments, and a missed target audience – kids aren’t going to have neither the skill nor the patience to play this game, if they even have the desire to.
So, curse you Konami, for releasing Frogger: Ancient Shadow, which made me scream and throw my controller, and thank you Konami, for releasing "Frogger: Helmet Chaos" [PSP/DS], which I had some fun with.
