CrazyFrog Racer 2 is a one- or two-player game featuring "the most annoying thing on the planet" and friends in a series of races and mini-games. The game also includes the two videos released by the Crazy Frog, "Axel F" and "Popcorn".

The game installs in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish at a default resolution of 800x600 but this can be changed. Its default controls are all on the keyboard but joystick and paddle are also supported.


- Championship. There are four cups to win, The Football Cup, The Ice Cup, The City Cup, and the Beach Cup, initially The Football Cup is the only one available the last three must be unlocked by winning the previous trophy.

Single Race with twelve different courses and twelve characters available


- Chase Race where the player must stay ahead of the chasing drones for as long as possible

- Time Trials where the player races round the track with no opponents aiming to beat their previous best time

- Mini Games, there are two of these Crazy Frog Pinball and Crazy Dance.


> Crazy Frog Pinball is unlike most pinball games as there are no paddles. The frog is fired from a canon onto the play area where it careens around destroying any robots it hits. When it hits a robot, or when it runs out of momentum, it stops and a rotating compass ring appears around it, when the dial is pointing in the desired direction the player presses the Spacebar and the process repeats. There is a separate arena for each music track and each has three difficulty levels.


> In Crazy Dance arrows appear rhythmically on screen and the player must hit the corresponding button on the numeric keypad 'bemani' style. Crazy dance can be performed in three levels of difficulty with any of the music tracks.


In the two-player mode the game options are:

- Championship: this is the same as the single player option

- Single Race: also the same as the single player option

- Battle: this is the only game mode that is unique to the multiplayer game. Players have three lives and compete in any of four arenas, last one standing wins.


Sequel sports game (specifically car racing), with the media star - Crazy Frog - in the lead role. A nice (though for many annoying) frog, dressed in a "nut" helmet and goggles, comes back to attack the computer games market for the second time.


The Crazy Frog is cranking up the speed for his latest and greatest racing adventure! After winning the cup and escaping the Drone, the Crazy Frog is now ready to shift into the next gear for the craziest race ever!


With more speed, zanier power-ups, new friends and even more insane tracks, there is no stopping the Crazy Frog this time! Race through the popular music videos of the Crazy Frog world and use even more zany power ups to ba-ding ding the competition.

Take Crazy Frog, known from the ring tone, and a bunch of his friends and enemies in crazy kart-style races around 12 tracks in 4 cups (baby, funny, crazy and special), and collect the crazy power-ups. Hopefully you like his trademark sounds because you'll hear them quite often. You can play with 4 friends in 3 different multiplayer modes: championship, single race or a battle. Aside from Crazy Frog, you can choose Ninja Gorilla (Bobo), Matilda the Cow, Ellie the Fairy, the Gangsta kids (Flash, Grim and Jack), Mad French Chef (Michel) and Drone.


During the races, you can collect coins to accumulate and drop hazards, such as mines, rockets or boosts. The main singleplayer game modes include championship, single race, time trial and chase. In the options screen, you can listen to 12 Crazy Frog songs on a jukebox.


On the original PC retail CD version, the copy protection supplied is Starforce version 3, which is incompatible with Windows Vista and upwards.To play the game on a PC using Vista or later operating system, one needs to manually update the copy protection software; for this Starforce provides a utiliity called 'SFupdate' from their homepage at www.star-force.com


Crazy Frog hit the world last year with his ringtone take on the classic dance tune Axel F. Little did the creators know that the song only really sold because of the original tune playing in the background, rather than for the annoying frog making stupid noises over the top. However, the success went to their heads and an album followed, as did a gaming deal. Thankfully the album bombed; unfortunately, though, the game is still selling in moderate numbers. Find out why this SHOULD NOT BE BOUGHT...


My wife sat watching my play this atrocious Game Boy Advance game via my GB Player on the GameCube and wondered why on Earth I was playing it. She did not even think it was a proper game. It is THAT bad that even my wife, with her limited knowledge of gaming, could instantly tell what a pathetic excuse for a 'game' this is. Quite an impressive feat in its own right...


First of all, when it comes to racing games, especially those using Mode 7 technology, such as Super Mario Kart did on the SNES, it is the actually race track that moves around, whilst the character you are controlling remains stationary. Now, the trick is to make the slight movements of the racer such that they fool the eye of the gamer into thinking it is actually to other way round. Thus all is well in the world. However, that is certainly not the case here. In fact, so poor is the movement of whichever racer you choose, that reaching the finish line takes nothing more than a half-hearted tap to the left or right every now-and-then! There is absolutely no sense of speed or any need to react sharply to avoid crashing whilst going round corners. It is just one of the most painfully mundane gaming experiences I have ever come across...and I played Bubsy the Bobcat on the SNES!


So it makes you wonder just what the developer was thinking. Was its heart really poured into this racing cash-in or did it merely try to make some quick money from the brand name before people grew tired of the stomach-churningly idiotic frog? I will leave that one to you guys, but you would have to hope the latter, for its sake, because if Crazy Frog Racer was the best it could produce, then there is definitely something wrong! Plus, the sheer fact that this is still listed at the scandalous price of 24.99 in most stores is a horror to behold. To think that poor parents are actually wasting that amount of money on something that their children will grow tired of after no more than about ten minutes pains me deeply.


But look at what the concept is on paper. The game states that 'The Annoying Thing' is to star in his own version of Wacky Races. See, that already sounds quite intriguing. You are then told that the crazy amphibian and his friends are to race in a high octane riot through cityscapes and underground mayhem. Wow, this could actually be half decent! Being able to blast your opponents, use zany power-ups and super boosts to screech your way to victory over three cups spread across twelve tracks, complete with eight unique characters, really does sound like a contender for the GBA racing crown, with Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Banjo Pilot being the top two in this genre at the moment. You can even play with up to four-players across four different multiplayer modes.


Yet just wait a second...let us analyse this situation a bit more. First of all, seriously, what friends does the Crazy Frog have that we know about? None that I can even remember after playing through just a few days ago, that is for sure! And furthermore, is twelve tracks really enough nowadays? Doubtful. But anyway, you could be somewhat forgiven for being sucked in by this clever gaming blurb. It would be a shame if you or your children had to partake in such torture, though. I cannot even begin to talk about the music and *shudders* sound effects, for fear of bursting into tears! What a criminal waste of the licensed MusyX Audio Tools from the superb Factor 5...


The graphics are so basic that this could be replicated on the 8-bit NES without much effort, with barely any roadside visuals worth noting and completely indistinguishable weapons at your disposal. So not only are you bored because of the slow pace and depressing visuals, but you also have basically no idea what each blurred weapon icon means...unless you actually play the game for a while, which is not advised if you; 1.) Wish to maintain stable mental health; 2.) Would like to keep your GBA is half decent condition and not see its remains once you have thrown it against the wall / out the window / down the toilet / and so on. It is dire throughout and I cannot think of anything positive to say about it, especially given the cheek of being sold for full price at retail...


When a recent survey of games that made people emotional and upset revealed 'that' Final Fantasy VII death scene as taking the top honours, clearly the people partaking in the poll did not consider that BAD games that make you cry out of frustration, because if they had, this would have blasted into that No.1 spot with ease. Such is the level of sheer drivel this stands for...
