Get ready for another adventure with that tantalizing toad, Frogger fans! Frogger II continues the journey with a three-screen adventure that makes the original look like kid stuff. There is so much complexity here it would be impossible to describe all the game's nuances. Screen I takes Froggy underwater. As in the original, he avoids obstacles in an attempt to reach his home. But now there are bubbles worth bonus points and Joe, the diving turtle, who will give Frogger a ride for free. Screen II brings your frog to the surface. Here, a mama duck will give Frogger a ride to the next screen if he's nice to her offspring. Finally, screen III takes Frogger up to the wild blue yonder. This screen is the most interesting and varied of the three. Here Frogger can eat butterflies and float on clouds.


Frogger II features outstanding cartoony graphics and a catchy theme song. Gone is the continuous musical score but it's hardly missed. Parker is also releasing an edition for the VCS, but without the outstanding graphics, the enchantment of the game is lost.
