WHAM! Gaming
It's a treat to play something so fresh, and yet so (often frustratingly) familiar. Helmet Chaos strikes the perfect balance between its 20th Century lineage and gameplay for today.

Although not all of the DS’s features were utilized (mainly the touch screen), the challenging gameplay and DS download function more than made up for this.

Frogger isn’t for everyone. While it’s aimed at kids, I find it funny that many kids won’t have the patience that is required to last throughout the levels.

GameSpot
Whereas the console game is bland and broken, the portable game is a lively 3D adventure packed with plenty to see and do.

It's just about the perfect casual game, just right for people who are looking to kill ten or fifteen minutes at a time dodging dinosaurs and snacking on flies.

IGN
It's just a very straightforward game design that, even with its rigid quirks, is more fun than it is impressive.

Play Magazine
The game is vibrant, mildly entertaining, and offers an array of puzzles to solve while you navigate Frogger through each level. [Nov p.102]

Gaming Horizon
Certainly seems to be directed towards a younger gaming audience with its colorful environments, cute characters and simple controls. The game is pretty childish with a straightforward story mode and a nice selection of multiplayer games.

62
GameZone
Levels are solid in length, interesting in layout, and have a number of challenges that, when the control system fails, come off as being cheap and frustrating.

Nintendo Power
Helmet Chaos does have a surprisingly quirky sense of humor and some decent voice acting, but it's not enough to recapture the series's long-lost magic. [Oct 2005, p.100]
