There are also some enemies in Might and Magic Dark Messiah. Some knighthood that are a form of easy fiends often were to call you out and say "Hey Pal!" it was with a smirking and with violent intents but I always imagined in my mind when playing a bit that game imaining them in a different scenario calling you over in an actual friendly way
7:39 Imagine an eternally reincarnating, immortal frog-human hybrid abomination descending from the sky with that pose and that sound, telling you he needs to find a princess before he busts.
Part of me wants to give this game the benefit of the doubt and say that when Frogger said the "before I bust" thing during his wish, he meant "before I die". There's just a few problems with this though. 1. Nobody uses the word "bust" in that context. 2. He was given immortality anyway. 3. They could've used the obvious joke of saying "before I croak" and it would've worked a thousand times better.
Nitro Rad: "...and why does this kid sound like Tails...Oh because he is Tails." Tails responds: "Because of a terrible accident." That one got me. lol
I have no idea how this game entered my life. I just remembered being a little kid playing this game 2 times through every time I went to my grandmothers house and being excited every time lol
When you're sitting in the swamp, tending to your fire and a frog t-poses out of the air near you: Ahhh, another one, roused from the sleep of death? Well, you're not alone. We unprincessed are worthless. Can't even die right. Gives me conniptions.
Another Frogged contender... finally taken notice, have you? of the power of my beloved princess, child of frogs. Well I will not give her up. *_For she is all that I have._*
My mom rented this for me as a surprise when I was a kid. There's nothing more uncomfortable than having to play a bad game in front of your parents and pretend you like it because you don't want to hurt their feelings.
I feel so sorry for you. That must have been akward. I have the opposite happen though. I was playing GTA and goofing off with my grandma behind me. Like I wasn't doing any missions, just seeing how fast my car could go and see if I could drive it up the mountains. Basic stuff like that
Yeah as mentioned, that kid has Tails' voice, but actually BOTH of his voices are in the game. Corey Bringas was Tails in SA1 and Sonic Shuffle, while his younger brother Conner Bringas was Tails in SA2. On a sadder note is that this was one of the final performances of Steve Brodie who voiced E-102 Gamma in SA1 before he passed (he voiced Lumpy in the intro). :( Other Sonic Adventure voice actors here include the late great Deem Bristow (Eggman) and Marc Biagi (Vector and Gereal Robotnik).
On the camera controls, I think Yahtzee Croshaw put it best. "In third person games, the camera is like the working class: if you can't control it, it will plot to destroy you."
It's the motto of most corrupt and/or paranoid people, even the ones who are part of the working class. That's why control freaks are more prevalent these days.
it could legit be the plot of some tragedy the main character get granted immortality out of nowhere and eventually go mad by the fact that he just can't die.
Also she says that he’s immortal until he finds a princess. Why would he want to find the princess then? There are other ways to do things besides sitting in a swamp. I guess the power of frog boners is just that much.
Dear god, "I KNOW FROG FU!" brought back repressed memories. And the bear... I rented this once as a kid. I returned it within a day. For years I thought I might have been unfair to it, because I was in a shitty and judgmental phase and I resented it for rebooting the franchise. Good to know my judgment was spot on for once.
Andy Eder (who worked for Blitz Games) confirmed that Zapper was actually never meant to be a Frogger game. It was based heavily on Swampy's Revenge, but there was never a Frogger 3 pitched by them.
When I was younger I was obsessed with frogs and loved any character that was a frog, I saw this game on a shelf once and I really wanted it but never got it, I just had to think about the amazing adventures a frog could go on. One time my Dad was talking to me about how Captain Kirk was his childhood hero and asked if I had any heroes like that and I responded with "Frogger", which disappointed him because he didn't think of Frogger as being a character at all, certainly not anything that could impart good values or inspiration to me. I tried to explain to him that there's a new Frogger now and he's not just an animal that gets hit by cars anymore but I don't think either way it was what he wanted to hear. When it came time that I was actually able to get this game I decided to pick up Ribbit King instead which was definitely a good decision, and I never really thought about this version of Frogger again. This is the first time I have ever seen the gameplay of it and I'm sincerely impressed by how every character asset looks like dogshit. I had no idea his character motivation was so lecherous.
Hey, tell your dad that frogger teaches some VERY important lessons! Like, never cross the road on red lights. Vehicles can kill you. Uhh......chickens aren't the only animals that cross streets. You know, important life changing stuff.
Also the graphics are really bad not just artistically but also technically. With just how angular it all is it looks borderline N64. When you compare it to a game like Jack and Dexter which came out on the same console on the same year it looks like an entire generation behind. That's not even mentioning the graphical showcases like Halo, Star wars Roque Squadron 2 and Metal gear Solid 2.
I like how even though you're not into the "negative review for the lulz" thing anymore, this game just doesn't help itself into another kind of approach.
I'm pretty sure it was a doctor's office, but I remember playing Mario Party 7 in a waiting room. It's actually why I got a GameCube (even though the Wii was already out)
"He's Freeza, comin' to take your toes." A new horrific take on the term "frostbite" Jesus Christ this video is cathartic for me. I played this game when I was a kid and it was the first game I ever played where I was consciously aware i was ripped off. The goofy enemy combat, the fact that you can actively just attack the bees after you peacefully gain their honey, the horrifically ugly enemies that just kind of walk up unannounced and get right in front of the camera, the fact that Mr. D's boss fight has this weirdly existential bend to it and ultimately can be won by immediately turning around and leaving the room the moment you get back control and subvert that bend entirely. It all sank in and after playing it for one session I just put the game down and never touched it again. That being said, Temple of the Frog for the GBA almost redeems the entire attempt at revamping the series.
@@Cure_Hana This reminds me of Secret Agent Clank. Another bad platformer with hand to hand combat. Though here that line is the only one that got a chuckle out of me. Whereas when I heard the phrase "Clank-Fu" from J's review of that game I cringed.
“Konami should feel embarrassed honestly.” For a man with who likes MGSV enough to have a poster on his wall and presumably knows the history surrounding that game he should know more about how little Konami cares about their integrity.

With 06 you can at least tell what it's going for. Also the story in concept is actually really cool and also has some really great moments. The animation is really good, some cutscene's are still quite impressive today. Not to mention some of that music.
@Richard Lucena But even sonic boom had more good things about it than this. I mean I heard the show is good and the 3ds games are decent. Even the wii u game you can see there was effort put into it that was shut down by Sega's incompetency. This game you can't see that at all, it's just a mess that has no potential, the best it could've been was your standard 3d platformer from the 00's. In a way it's legacy better known with it being shitty.
They hired new artists, without knowledge of them. They just wanted to hire them to make the game. They may have little experience with games like this.
10:30 I would say some of the best combat I've experienced in a platformer (outside of Ratchet & Clank's solid gunplay) would be the Sly Cooper sequels. Very basic but useful moves, enemies go down in, like, three or four hits, you auto-lock to the nearest enemy, picking up/throwing opponents with Murray in particular was always fun~
I really liked the stealth aspects too. Creeping up on them to nick items was pretty sweet. It gave you something extra to do instead of just hitting them.
Yeah, it was a bad comparison considering the message of the movie was not to judge solely on looks and that the two of the live happily ever after. Frogger looks more akin to a character from a low budget children's educational straight to dvd Christian movie anyway.
My favorite part of Frogger: The Great Quest is when Frogger crawls into a tree for the sole purpose of parodying the Dagobah Cave scene from Empire Strikes Back.
You know I think the reason why you get so creeped out by the floating animation is because when you really look at it, it kind of looks like Frogger is hanging from an invisible noose.
This game also has the late Deem Bristow, the original voice of Eggman from Adventure to Heroes. And Lani Minella, voice of Rouge during that same time period. And there's also Steve Brodie, the voice of E-102 Gamma. This game shares a lot of SA1/SA2 VAs.
Ugh. I've always passed by this..."iteration"...of Frogger on store shelves when I was younger. I always thought that he looked like a knockoff Wallace and Gromit character....
I actually remember watching that a lot as a kid; I actually remember that it was premiered right after or before TUFF Puppy (I don't remember which, just that they had a special event where the two shows premeired), and I liked Sheen, so I was a really into it at first. In hindsight, it's really odd that they would make a spin off to Jimmy Neutron four years after it ended, and it was really weird in general, not to mention considered bad by general consensus, although I haven't watched the show since probably 2012 at most, so I'm not exactly fit to talk about it aside from childhood memories.
I remember owning this train-wreck of a game as a kid. Wank camera, wank controls; horrendous clipping issues. And it used to give me nightmares. I still have it locked up somewhere. Every time you put the disc in the PS2 it sounded like it was going to explode. Probably why I've never touched it since. I'm honestly not surprised to see you finally get to this one. It's somethin' else, that's for sure.
@@saruarchive6285 It's also a blue disc, which are known to read slightly louder off the console than the standard discs-- at least in my case. My other blue disc games sound much softer by comparison. I had the original fat PS2 when I first played it as a kid. I'm afraid to test it out on my new silver PS2 slim. I think my old PS2 knew this game was awful. It would practically cry out in agony each session. Sometimes the game would just crash all together. I can't believe I even bothered to complete it. I had stumbled across it at a K-mart with my dad years ago. It was between this game or Pacman World 2. He chose this one. Thanks, dad...
@@ParmMannREBORN Believe it or not, this isn't the worst game I've ever played. I've experienced far worse than this. It's definitely high up on my gaming shitlist though.
Watching this review gave me a much better appreciation of Zapper. I've owned that game ever since I was a kid and my family's general consensus was that it was good but it "ripped off Frogger too much". Knowing that it was meant to be an actual Frogger game that Konami turned down in order to release this digital abomination makes the game so much better in retrospect. Also "it's pretty much the Sonic '06 of Frogger" is such a funny line.
Strange to think about how much the team that made this game influenced the canon and style of the Frogger series going forward. The logo, parts of Frogger's design, Lumpy the Toad are from the top of my head. Heck, I swear the guy who tells Frogger to get back the Froglets in Frogger in Toy Town is supposed to be Lumpy, and that's the latest reboot. Also strange that Frogger Decades and maybe Frogger Pinball on iOS are the last parts of Adventures canon.
At 15.42, the effect you're seeing is likely the text renderer reusing a vertex list and the information being used about which vertex being part of which triangle (called the index buffer) becoming momentarily incorrect as new letters appear! It's not physics, but it's definitely a rendering problem. - different, a game programmer
The funny part about this whole thing is that I vividly remember having a new-age Frogger game for GBA, I think it was Temple of the Frog specifically. I also remember it being really good, if really frustrating. I can't wait to see your take on it.
Love how when I watched this, the ad at the beginning was for a Ty The Tasmanian Tiger HD remake and that’s probably the most appropriate ad I’ve ever seen in correspondence to a channel lol
Dude I feel almost exactly how you do about this game. As a kid I figured it was just different from the other Froggers. But I grew up and realized "oh it is different...and bad". It's a game that sounds good on paper...and then Konami took that paper to people who were clearly on drugs or something lol.
I was one of the people unfortunate enough to play Frogger the Great Quest as a kid. The controls and gameplay were so crippling that I tried to find a strategy guide at my local game store, as I naturally thought I was doing something wrong. I laugh at the game looking back now, but sometimes I feel that if Frogger had gotten more development time and an overhaul in art direction, it would have been at least decent.
damn dude i'm surprised you didn't mention the absolutely horrifying skeleton boss in the cave level. it's so freaking weird when his like... head falls off and it was actually frogger or something? anyway, awesome video! glad to finally see someone else experience the absolute *masterpiece* that is Frogger's Great Quest.
"I wish I may I wish I must, find a Princess before I bust" woulda been a great senior quote or valentine's day card

Funny how this game is declared as the "Sonic 06 of Frogger", but honestly, I think even Sonic 06 is better than this.
Well yea, atleast Sonic 06 has good things about it.
With 06 you can at least tell what it's going for. Also the story in concept is actually really cool and also has some really great moments. The animation is really good, some cutscene's are still quite impressive today. Not to mention some of that music.
@@MrMarinus18 TBH, I actually kinda like Sonic 06. Not nearly as much as other much better Sonic games, but I do still get enjoyment out of it.
@Richard Lucena But even sonic boom had more good things about it than this. I mean I heard the show is good and the 3ds games are decent. Even the wii u game you can see there was effort put into it that was shut down by Sega's incompetency. This game you can't see that at all, it's just a mess that has no potential, the best it could've been was your standard 3d platformer from the 00's. In a way it's legacy better known with it being shitty.
At least 06 tried, right? Lol.
I want the concept artist to find this and recall "Yeah, that wasn't even me--I just sent in my kids' artwork and they took it."
The game took 1 month to create because they started from scratch after firing everyone but the management.
They hired new artists, without knowledge of them. They just wanted to hire them to make the game. They may have little experience with games like this.
10:30 I would say some of the best combat I've experienced in a platformer (outside of Ratchet & Clank's solid gunplay) would be the Sly Cooper sequels. Very basic but useful moves, enemies go down in, like, three or four hits, you auto-lock to the nearest enemy, picking up/throwing opponents with Murray in particular was always fun~
I really liked the stealth aspects too. Creeping up on them to nick items was pretty sweet. It gave you something extra to do instead of just hitting them.
6:00 How dare you insult the ogre overlord Shrek actually found consensual love
Yeah, it was a bad comparison considering the message of the movie was not to judge solely on looks and that the two of the live happily ever after.
Frogger looks more akin to a character from a low budget children's educational straight to dvd Christian movie anyway.
Shrek is actually endearing looking, Frogger just looks like a freak
@@_-Lx-_ that's literally how i felt 😂
@@_-Lx-_He looks like he belongs in one of those rip off of popular movies like Ratationg or What’s Up
Yeah but Shrek wasn't looking for love. Love found him
One good thing about this game: An interesting review came out of it.
"no one would kiss this frog or find him hot!"
Give the internet time Nitro dude. Give it time.
Coff coff Tsuyu coff coff
me who actually does: *cries in simp*
also the internet's time stopped 😈
Miss Piggy proves otherwise.
No one:
T-Posing Mosquito: " *I AM DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS!* "
"hEllO."
My favorite part of Frogger: The Great Quest is when Frogger crawls into a tree for the sole purpose of parodying the Dagobah Cave scene from Empire Strikes Back.
7:47
Freeza: “I crave the toes, my child”
You know I think the reason why you get so creeped out by the floating animation is because when you really look at it, it kind of looks like Frogger is hanging from an invisible noose.
This game also has the late Deem Bristow, the original voice of Eggman from Adventure to Heroes. And Lani Minella, voice of Rouge during that same time period. And there's also Steve Brodie, the voice of E-102 Gamma.
This game shares a lot of SA1/SA2 VAs.
Frieza is well known for his universal conquest of stealing toes
“Looking to suck Toes?”
“No- No thank you Broly-“
"How 'bout mine?"
The arc in DBZ where Frieza stole everyones toes and they had to confront him toe to no toe was my favourite.
Is that why he fights without using his hands?
He recently made his move on Phineas. :(
Ugh. I've always passed by this..."iteration"...of Frogger on store shelves when I was younger. I always thought that he looked like a knockoff Wallace and Gromit character....
So, like a Flushed Away character?
@@gnbman Well, they are by the same animation team.
Yeah, even as a kid I never liked the whole 'Shrek' outfit.
21:44 IS THAT A METAL GEAR REFERENCE ARE YOU KIDDING ME
It is Konami, after all.
Nothing will ever top "Hey! What is this? Metal Gear Frogger?!/Frogger Gear Solid?!" from Frogger Beyond.
“Whoever wrote that line should go to prison”
This guy is my hero
Every character looks like something from the butt ugly martians
Hé look l'île Murphy from rayman
That’s an insult to the show itself
Be honest the show was pretty ugly
When I watched this, the "Spoilers end at 21:57" splash screen happened to come up exactly at 21:57 local time, which was surprisingly creepy.
“A frog looking frog”
*ah yes, the floor is made out of floor*
*ah yes, the frog is made out of frog*
Murphy discovered that they'll never release Rayman 4,So he décidéd to be in his own game.
I think This might be the First Ever Video that Nitro Rad Sacred me Straight at 4 in the morning P.S Love the Content you Make on TH-cam
I love how he immediately gets fed up with the dialogue at "before i bust"
I remember seeing this game a long time ago back when Media Play was still a thing, and now I'm glad I avoided it
12:17 Those things look exactly like that one-eyed orange alien from "Planet Sheen".
Oh man, I remember watching that show. He was the skeleton guy's henchman I think.
I actually remember watching that a lot as a kid; I actually remember that it was premiered right after or before TUFF Puppy (I don't remember which, just that they had a special event where the two shows premeired), and I liked Sheen, so I was a really into it at first. In hindsight, it's really odd that they would make a spin off to Jimmy Neutron four years after it ended, and it was really weird in general, not to mention considered bad by general consensus, although I haven't watched the show since probably 2012 at most, so I'm not exactly fit to talk about it aside from childhood memories.
I remember owning this train-wreck of a game as a kid. Wank camera, wank controls; horrendous clipping issues. And it used to give me nightmares. I still have it locked up somewhere. Every time you put the disc in the PS2 it sounded like it was going to explode. Probably why I've never touched it since. I'm honestly not surprised to see you finally get to this one. It's somethin' else, that's for sure.
I'm so sorry
looks like it was also badly optimized if it made the ps2 scream
I only got 2 levels in before realizing this game was complete ass, And I was practically a baby
@@saruarchive6285
It's also a blue disc, which are known to read slightly louder off the console than the standard discs-- at least in my case. My other blue disc games sound much softer by comparison. I had the original fat PS2 when I first played it as a kid. I'm afraid to test it out on my new silver PS2 slim. I think my old PS2 knew this game was awful. It would practically cry out in agony each session. Sometimes the game would just crash all together. I can't believe I even bothered to complete it. I had stumbled across it at a K-mart with my dad years ago. It was between this game or Pacman World 2. He chose this one.
Thanks, dad...
@@ParmMannREBORN
Believe it or not, this isn't the worst game I've ever played. I've experienced far worse than this. It's definitely high up on my gaming shitlist though.
4:48 this part blindsided me dude lmfao
Your humor is absolutely on point in this episode, I was dying so much
Watching this review gave me a much better appreciation of Zapper. I've owned that game ever since I was a kid and my family's general consensus was that it was good but it "ripped off Frogger too much". Knowing that it was meant to be an actual Frogger game that Konami turned down in order to release this digital abomination makes the game so much better in retrospect.
Also "it's pretty much the Sonic '06 of Frogger" is such a funny line.
16:00 of course the enemy is t-posing as he comes at you, he's asserting his dominance.
"It is just like Rayman 2 " is one of the best catchphrases of this channel lol
“I wanna look up and down and all around”
Nice speed highway reference.
7:46 Dan Schneider would like to know your location
We don't talk about Dan anymore. :)
I got an ad for Ty HD on Switch on this video
Same
Same here. Pretty cool
Same
tight
yep
Strange to think about how much the team that made this game influenced the canon and style of the Frogger series going forward.
The logo, parts of Frogger's design, Lumpy the Toad are from the top of my head.
Heck, I swear the guy who tells Frogger to get back the Froglets in Frogger in Toy Town is supposed to be Lumpy, and that's the latest reboot.
Also strange that Frogger Decades and maybe Frogger Pinball on iOS are the last parts of Adventures canon.
"It looks like a bad DreamWorks movie"
I thought it looked like a good one. Or at least, somebody once told me that _they_ did.
Has somebody also once told you the world was gonna roll you?
At 15.42, the effect you're seeing is likely the text renderer reusing a vertex list and the information being used about which vertex being part of which triangle (called the index buffer) becoming momentarily incorrect as new letters appear! It's not physics, but it's definitely a rendering problem.
- different, a game programmer
underrated comment, thank you for the cool info
The funny part about this whole thing is that I vividly remember having a new-age Frogger game for GBA, I think it was Temple of the Frog specifically. I also remember it being really good, if really frustrating. I can't wait to see your take on it.
There’s a lot of Sonic voice actors in the game
Huh, no wonder I heard the voice of the sphere from Sonic Adventure come out of the frog fairy’s mouth
No you didnt. Frog fairy was voiced by Lani Minela, the "orb" from SA1 (really Tikal) is a different actress
Well I’ll be damned
It's all because of a terrible accident
Not gonna lie, I was kind of hoping for a twist ending where after the princess kisses Frogger, she then turns into a frog herself. 😂
And, by pure coincidence, her name is lilly. Like from swampys revenge?
Superfrog had an ending like that...way before Shrek did.
That's basically the plot of Disney's The Princess and the Frog.
Plus, something like this happened as a gag in an episode of CyberChase.
@@Lugbzurg and a side quest in Scribblenauts unlimited.
THAT WOULDA MADE A THOUSAND TIMES MORE SENSE BROOO
surprised you were able to get this review out so quickly
4:06 Frogger looks more to me like he’s about to sneeze.
15:50 is one of the funniest clips of gameplay I’ve ever seen from any video game.
I saw a man's will break into little tiny atom size pieces today
Is there any subtitle more generic than “The Great Quest”?
Yes, "The videogame"
Revelations
The Huge Adventure which was used for the first Crash game on the GBA.
The Animation
The movie
"It looks like Frieza's coming to take your toes"
Dude. That made me laugh for five minutes.
Love how when I watched this, the ad at the beginning was for a Ty The Tasmanian Tiger HD remake and that’s probably the most appropriate ad I’ve ever seen in correspondence to a channel lol
“I wish I may I wish I must
Find a princes before I bu-“ *add plays*
Dude I feel almost exactly how you do about this game. As a kid I figured it was just different from the other Froggers. But I grew up and realized "oh it is different...and bad". It's a game that sounds good on paper...and then Konami took that paper to people who were clearly on drugs or something lol.
4:53 i had to pause and digest that line a little.
Frogger t-poses in order to fly
Do you know who else does that?

14:23 Bootleg Glade of Dreams.... good one, Rad! XD
I was one of the people unfortunate enough to play Frogger the Great Quest as a kid. The controls and gameplay were so crippling that I tried to find a strategy guide at my local game store, as I naturally thought I was doing something wrong. I laugh at the game looking back now, but sometimes I feel that if Frogger had gotten more development time and an overhaul in art direction, it would have been at least decent.
You're one of the few youtubers that I can watch with my kids and all of us enjoy it.
Keep up the good work bro.
Amazing video as always!
The "bootleg glade of dreams" Dark Souls style area presentation was gold!
damn dude i'm surprised you didn't mention the absolutely horrifying skeleton boss in the cave level. it's so freaking weird when his like... head falls off and it was actually frogger or something? anyway, awesome video! glad to finally see someone else experience the absolute *masterpiece* that is Frogger's Great Quest.
Frogger’s voice here reminds me of Sprinkles from Blue’s Room. And YOU ARE EVERY FLAVOR OF WELCOME FOR THAT REMINDER!
