Crack out the party hats. Frogger has been in a permanent state of road kill for 25 years. Konami celebrate by freeing him from his Sisyphean road-crossing task and placing him in a series of trials set by a talking panda.

Frogger hops around dull isometric platform levels, but he can only jump forwards, needing shoulder button presses to change direction. Due to the rubbish graphics, you can't tell which way he's facing, repeatedly sending him face first into brick walls or the water which, somewhat defying all frog logic, makes him croak it.
