This game rocked when I got on the Atari 2600 20 some years ago. I was giving this app about 1 month ago or so to review, play around with to see if I like it and me thoughts on the game play, graphics and the game in general. Once I downloaded this app and started it up I noticed the menu screen with Start, Help, High Scores, Options and Touch Konami. Help will give you instructions on how to play the game if you have never before. Other wise Options is one you might want to click on and in here you can change sound on and off, Vibrate on and off and than your controls this is one that users may need to change, here you can change how you move on the screen by tapping your finger, sliding your finger or tilting the iphone itself in the direction you want to move you can also set the sensitivity to your movements here as well.
After you have choosen the control options the you wish to use click the back button. High Scores ofcourse show you your Highest Scores, Touch Konami will close application and lauch web browser. From here we can hit start you notice as in Frogger for all other systems a pretty simple screen to start slower vehicles, no gators etc… You get 5 lives to start there is a time counter bar at the bottom just as in the origional game and has you complete levels they get harder. The music is the same has you hop, when you die and when you get the frog to top top all brings back memories of my childhood.
The graphics are basic but cool retro and has simularities of the old original frogger, they do the job and looks good to me. The gameplay is good not like using a paddle on your PS3 but lets not forget this is on a mobile device and is really the next wave of gaming, this is where the future of gaming is heading. Konami & Apple iPhone are a good match they have taken mobile gaming to the next level.
I highly recommend this game for both older and younger gamers, This game is one of the original games to come out 20+ years ago and still today like Pac-Man I find andby the popularity on iTunes others as well find it fun and entertaining. Hands down one of the best Game App’s to date. I give it a 8 out 10.
