This game dares ask an age old question. What if those 2 PSOne Frogger games that were kind of neat were actually really boring and bad? That's Zapper. Ironically this game is said to have been a failed pitch for a 3rd entry in that Frogger series, but ended up being rejected. The graphics are actually pretty good for the time, and I enjoy the soundtracks odd, but fun Technobeat vibe, but the game sorely needed a 2nd pass at level design. The first world isn't so bad, but the moment you hit World 2 it all goes downhill. Excessive enemies, pinpoint platforming, and tight corridors all make for the rest of the game that becomes a complete slog to get through despite the fact that the game can be completed in 2-2 1/2hours. Your better off playing just playing Frogger 2: Swampys Revenge instead.
