Histoire (IGDB)
Born in the Kingdom Year 515, Frogger is one of the frog folk that inhabit the Firefly Swamp area near Frog Town. Seven major kingdoms and numerous island states dominate Frogger's world, which has over 2100 years of civilized history. His home is a quiet backwater swamp, formed then a landslide blocked a valley over 1300 years before, at the time if the 1st Great Travail. Frogger decides to take up the quest to find a Princess in the Kingdom Year 532. He is a strong and generally good-natured frog, but he desires a life far more exciting and adventurous than his current existence. Frogger knows only stories and legends of the world around the Third Kingdom, and has only limited experience with magic. Magic is a key element in all the lands, but used and understood by only a few of the intelligent creatures that populate Frogger's world. His quest will be the beginning of a new era.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Unfortunately, the camera grates throughout proceedings and you often find yourself either stuck behind scenery or with Frogger running directly toward you and thus not being able to see where you are going. »
« Although suffering from flaws on all fronts (particularly control), I think I can point to the reliance on item collecting as the primary culprit that brings The Great Quest down hard. »
« Something just short of eye bleeding disaster...Let this frog drown. »
« I can’t remember a more boring example of the game’s genre in years. [Feb 2002, p.107] »
« One of the worst games in Konami’s storied history, Frogger: The Great Quest doesn’t live up its title, its heritage, or its company...A froggin’ waste of time. »
« The game's control is about as bad as it gets...Character movement is very choppy, the jumping is imprecise and it's all made even worse by the game's many camera problems. »

« And here we have the heavy weight contender for the worst plat-former to ever grace the Playstation 2. Sometimes you just have to ask ****? Why such poor control? Why are the characters made of rotten vegetables? Why so many plot holes? And why does the Dark Trail Ruins level sound like a Scribblenauts stage? At the end of the day, I say this game has done more harm than good. While it does fall into the category of hilariously-bad games, I feel bad for all the young children that accidentally stumbled upon this cauldron of nightmares. Despite being an E-Rated game, this game contains a handful of foul words. Like the mad scientist Dr. Starkenstain saying the words "Your really pissing me off". There's also tons of terrifying enemies in this game. They may be easy to defeat, but be prepared for a handful of jump scares. That Bone-Cruncher beast, the demonic fish in the river levels, the ghosts. Their going to give your kids some serious night terrors. The only credit I could give this game is that I enjoyed some of the music tracks. It's just a shame that their paired with annoying platforming and lazy level design. In fact, while I was playing through the Dark Trail Ruins level, I fell into the void below and watched my entire world turn inside out. It's fun for older audiences who want to make fun of terrible gameplay. Like this one time, tree scorpions pinned me to a wall and jabbed like their lives depended on it. Frogger is technically the villain of this game. He's a greedy piece of fungus crossed with a hormonal teenager on a great quest to fulfill his cliche desires of forcing a princess to kiss him. So far its the most broken game I have ever played. »
« This is one of the worst games I have ever played that appeared on the PlayStation 2. There isn't a single item in this game that brings this experience anywhere near to fun. The controls are hideous, the story is a cringing mess, the voice acting is as hackneyed and badly acted as it gets. This is a truly appalling game that isn't worth a single second of your time. »
« listen this game is good and ill tell you why again this game is not perfect in any way its just ok ok? ok lets get on the review. So one time i went to the flea market shopping and i found this frogger game for like $2 i piked it up and drove home i putted in my ps2 and started playing i like the story i thought the story was pretty cute it was a good plot and for some reason people had problem with the controls but i did not it controlled fine but it took a little bit to get use to but it was okay the levels had some boring parts but it was mostly meh at best but i had some fun with a lot of the levels and the cutscens looked pretty good and the voice acting is meh so that the postives but how about the negatives well at least one part of the level drags out the graphics look like a n64 not a ps2 i thought it was a re release of a ps1 game but not huh i guess im stupid but whatever this game is ok and thats good and i think it should not have harsh criticism and if your looking for a game you could have fun with for a couple hours here is a good one. »

« This game is so strange and doesn't seem like a frogger game heck it isn't even good. In metascore I would give this a 42. This game is luckily not on the gamecube. »
« This game is bad. It has graphics that belong on the N64, the levels are bad (except for the swamp level, that one is kind of good with it's atmosphere), it's characters are just horrendous, the enemies are copy paste, the game usually has no idea what the f*** is going on, *cough*cow in the mushroom level*cough*, the camera is bad, and the music... is actually pretty good. It's a shame that such a good soundtrack got wasted on this garbage. The only reason you should EVER consider buying this game from the local truck stop bargain bin from 2002, is for the soundtrack. »
« I'm appalled at why Frogger went from crossing traffic to crossing a freaking jungle, but the worst part about "The Great Quest" is that it's one of the most unimaginative games I've ever seen. Pros: Rich in visuals; the detail in some of the levels are nice to look at. Cons: The characters look hideous; terrible control and camera; a completely unimaginative storyline; the mechanics aren't that impressive either. »
