Superfrog HD

25 / 100 Nostalgia is a funny thing; those fond memories captured in time from your long lost past. Superfrog back on the Amiga was one of those games for me, simple and fast platformer that was intuitive to play yet challenging to master that I recall spending many hours replaying to better my high scores. Regrettably, this remake is a shallow shadow of its former glorious self. Sure all the key ingredients return from the original such as the cartoony cutesy monsters to squash, secret passages, fast paced movement, fruit and coins aplenty yet this HD remake lacks any real enjoyment. Your character controls feels slippery (excuse the pun!) which often results in running off edges, misjumps and other such frustrating things. Many of the coin chain pickups cannot be timed at all to get all of them in one go, essentially stopping your momentum through the level and having to re-jump the

Oh the camera, I felt like barfing from the minute I started. I had to play through a little bit just to see how its design is. To put in a few words, the further you go, the worse it gets. Poor camera, motion blurred movement (very hard to see up coming obstacles), no direction in each level, unfair enemies (why can I only jump on the blue things O.O?) and the list just keeps going. The only time I would recommend this game is to see how not to do a platformer. I am going to go barf now...motion sickness is the worst

Back in the day Superfrog was a decent, good platformer for the Amiga. Now comes an HD remake from the same company, Team17. Unfortunately, it does not only fail to hold up to contemporary indie competitors, but also to reproduce the spirit of the original. There's few good things to be said about this game: contrary to other reviewers, I found the controls to be good enough. The design of Superfrog, the princess and the witch reminds one of Eric Schwartz's cartoons. You can also unlock all original levels, albeit with the new design. But that's about all that's to be said in favor of the game. Now on to opening the can of worms. The level design is okay, but there's far too few graphical assets, everything in each single world looks more or less the same, it's bland and forgettable. Also, the game is quite easy throughout, until difficulty ramps up noticable in the very last level, t

If Sonic and Rayman decided to throw caution to the wind in a night of unbridled passion, the resulting abomination would probably be something like Superfrog. A clumsy lazy lad, he'd cheat his way through life feeling content to emulate his parent with poor success, all the while denying his obvious refusal to branch out on his own. The awkward kid of the class always vying for attention, it wouldn't be until his later years that he realized that- oh wait, this is still a game after all. An updated version of the mildly popular 1993 Amiga game of the same name, Superfrog HD is perhaps the most generic and dull platformer I have ever played, easily ranking with the likes of most movie tie-ins and poorly developed flash games. It does everything you would expect a platformer to do, but with such unimaginable mediocrity that I am simply astounded it is actually a retail game and not somet

I would possibly go for no for this game. Because I was kinda expecting more additional features and maybe include the original version for young gamers to show what the Original 1993 Amiga version of Superfrog really looked like; maybe add some archives or video footage of it, for this HD Remake game to make it a bit more exicting. The problem I am finding with this game is the spud shooter aiming diagonally. So personally if some gaming industries want to make a remake as well in HD then I think they should include the original version, but most importantly wipe those long-term discovered bugs that came in the original near the 16-bit era. Save states would be useful if the original SF game came too.
