Summary

When Frogger makes a wish on a falling star, the Fairy Frogmother appears and tells him he should follow his heart's desire. She grants him three gifts: a Magic Bag that can hold many items, the power to see Fairies and Magic Items, and protection from serious harm. With her advice and support, Frogger gathers up his courage and sets off in search of the adventure of a lifetime. [Konami]

Unfortunately, the camera grates throughout proceedings and you often find yourself either stuck behind scenery or with Frogger running directly toward you and thus not being able to see where you are going.

PSX Nation

Although suffering from flaws on all fronts (particularly control), I think I can point to the reliance on item collecting as the primary culprit that brings The Great Quest down hard.

All Game Guide

One of the worst games in Konami’s storied history, Frogger: The Great Quest doesn’t live up its title, its heritage, or its company...A froggin’ waste of time.

The game's control is about as bad as it gets...Character movement is very choppy, the jumping is imprecise and it's all made even worse by the game's many camera problems.

I can’t remember a more boring example of the game’s genre in years. [Feb 2002, p.107]

I really like the graphics of the game, but I don't like the camera angles and the fact that the everytime I want to jump on something it is really difficult to either get on the object or I slide off. As for the Castle, you kill the Big Chicken by destroying his machines. You have to take out 2 blue glass objects on each of his machines in order to destroy the Big Chicken. In order to get to the big chicken there is a wooden door on the lower level. To the left of the door is a small dead end corridor. On the right side while going down this short corridor, you'll notice a small spot where the bricks are different. Try to open this hidden door and the wooden door around the corner will open. You will get out of the castle after you defeat the chicken.

i liked the original frogger, so i picked up this game just to check it out. This game is a sick disgrace of frogger. it makes the original look bad. This game is horrendous. absolute horror. I say we kill the frog and let it rest in peace.

The scenery is detailed and well colored, but I am really annoyed about the controls and the camera view is the worst Ive seen. I've also got stuck in the dark Trail ruins a couple of times now. How'd you get out? Can you actually kill that pink minotaur guy? The scenery saved this game from being rated a 3!

Jamie W. gave it a 7:
It's a fun game, but the camera angles make me sick sometimes because they jump around too much. It's like watching a video where someone is shaking the video camera. Sometimes it takes a few hours to pass a level. I can't find the key on The River Town level (4). Can anyone help? You have to spit frog goobers at the bell three times on level 3 to open the doors with bells on them. After you open the doors Slick Willy appears on the top level and you have to fight him to pass the level.

Christina P. gave it a 6:
The camera angles suck, and the movements are really choppy. A little help: to get out of the castle, go up to the big bookshelf in the guest room and push 0. But how do you beat the big chicken?

Taren S. gave it a 9:
It's good but I can't get out of the castle. Help!!!
