Frogger Advance: The Great Quest (GameBoy Advance)

A prequel Konami's upcoming PS2 game, Frogger: The Great Quest, this GBA game focuses on a younger Frogger who must journey to the center of the Temple of the Frog in order to search for the hidden secrets needed to bring his dying swampland home back to life. Jump, glide and tongue-flick through 15+ levels in 5 different environments. A cartoonish action/platform game with an element of puzzle solving, Frogger expands on simple, yet addictive gameplay to catch players of all ages. [Konami]

Critic Reviews

86 TotalGames.net
One giant leap for GBA visual design, hardly a tip-toe for platforming gameplay.
70 IGN
The game looks great with large, well-animated characters, a decent soundtrack, and familiar, fun gameplay.
65 Game Over Online
As a platform title, aside from the name and homage it pays (or rather, doesn't pay), it's an average, almost mediocre title in its own right.
56 Nintendo Power
Similar to a Rayman-style game in terms of variety and action. [June 2002, p.150]
55 Game Informer
A serviceable platform title that neither offends nor inspires. [June 2002, p.87]
49 GameSpot
Those looking for the Frogger they grew up with should probably look somewhere else.
40 All Game Guide
The entire game from start to finish can be completed in under an hour, with level design as generic as the title.
40 Pocket Games
A sloppy and unimaginative attempt at turning Frogger into a platform hero. Uninspired and definitely tired. [Summer 2002, p.24]
40 Play Magazine
Solid control, excellent animation, and a fittingly cute soundtrack. [Aug 2002, p.76]
