What's It About?

Kids tap at the far top, left, right, or bottom of the screen to advance Frogger and help him avoid cars and slow-moving trucks. Once across the road, kids have to hop Frogger onto left-moving turtles and right-moving logs to get to the beach on the other side, snagging pink flies along the way. A 20-second timer means kids have to keep Frogger moving. Kids to share scores via Facebook or, depending on their device, OpenFeint or Game Center.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 1 ):
Kids say ( 1 ):

Frogger is delightfully retro while employing modern touch and tilt controls. The goal: cross a busy five-lane freeway and alligator-infested river without getting squished or eaten. The scoring is a little confusing at first and the arcade music repetitive, but kids will love helping Frogger to safety.
