I'm being completely serious when I say that I prefer The Great Quest over this game. At least with The Great Quest, it's bad in a way that makes you laugh. This is just bad in a way that makes you depressed. Yes, the gameplay of classic Frogger is here, but everything else about it feels so uninspired. Instead of being bright and colorful like the arcade game, this takes place in a gloomy city environment. Frogger himself looks like he's constantly wishing for the sweet embrace of death. And the rest of the objects have absolutely zero style to them. Most of the sound effects here seem to be basic stock sound effects, and the same goes for the painfully generic background music. This almost feels like it's unofficial, even though Konami approved of it. I would say that it feels like a Game Maker game, but that would be insulting to Game Maker. I've believed for so long that The Great Quest was the worst Frogger, but now I can see that I was completely incorrect. And for that, I apologize to The Great Quest. You are not the worst Frogger game, because this one is.
