Looks better, but has that same, froggy aftertaste.

Frogger for XBLA is a nice graphical update of one of videogaming's most ancient forefathers, but why oh why didn't they just go ahead and improve that boring-ass gameplay while they were at it ?

You can only push up so many times before your hand and fingers fall off due to excessive boredom and dullness.

Frogger gives you this exciting feature in spades. Push up. Push Left a little. Push right a little. Push up. REPEAT.

I can envision a very exciting Frogger in my head, but they just didn't take the extra time and effort to create anything new. It's the same old Frogger with the same dull gameplay.... and did I mention it's damn hard to just get past level 3???

Why is this game so hard? It's really a mystery, because the gameplay cannot get any simpler. I really think it's hardness comes from the extremely limited space you are given to maneuver around in. The cars on the highway section speed up and squeeze in so tight right away that it's nigh-impossible to end up jumping into the back of a retreating vehicle!

That's right, I said, a vehicle that's moving away from you is just as deadly. Snore McBore.

So, go ahead give this title a whirl and I'm sure you'll agree. It's too hard to be fun, and too boring to fun too. Wow..... that's a pretty crummy game, yes?
