That’s right – you’re thinking of Crazy Frog Racer 2. Now, imagine a racing game starring a cast of entirely charmless characters that takes all the good ideas from Mario Kart, misunderstands them entirely, then tries to re-create them. It’s a solid racing game with an incredibly well-balanced weapons system (so well-balanced, in fact, that it merits a battle mode that’s set apart from the regular races). Everyone and their mother has played Mario Kart, and there’s a good reason for that – it’s fantastic in just about all of its incarnations. Still, is the game any good? D’you want the long answer, or the short one? Considering the target audience, they might as well have gone all the way and just written the whole thing in txt spk instead. Who the hell was paid to proof-read this crap? I’ll tell you: no-one bloody was. You can use it for example when your about to win”. And don’t forget that “The Shied will protect you for a short while. A couple of pages on, you’re told that you can “try to beat your records in the time trails”. Yes, apparently the booklet’s aim of instructing the player is secondary to the objective of selling you the latest Crazy Frog album. Right after the obligatory health warnings and stuff on the inside front cover, you’re presented with “ALSO AVAILABLE: CRAZY FROG ‘MORE CRAZY HITS’ – THE ALBUM (CD + BONUS DVD)”. Point is, I want it to be made clear that I approached Crazy Frog Racer 2 with an open mind, despite the general awfulness that apparently surrounds its main character, and the fact that it’s basically aimed at kids.Ī quick look through the instruction booklet set a few alarm bells ringing, though. Well, not so much ‘missed out on’, as ‘successfully avoided’ – largely because you have to be an arsehole to actually watch MTV for long enough that you’ll see a Jamster advert (mind you, last time I checked, that only took about twenty seconds). In all game options, apart from Time Trials and the mini-games, there are on-track bonuses to be collected for weapons, armour and defence.Y’know, I actually missed out on the whole Crazy Frog thing. Players have three lives and compete in any of four arenas, last one standing wins. Battle: this is the only game mode that is unique to the multiplayer game.Single Race: also the same as the single player option.Championship: this is the same as the single player option.In the two-player mode the game options are: The music tracks available in these games are 'Hey Baby', 'I'm too sexy', 'Final Countdown', 'Axel F', and 'Popcorn'. Crazy dance can be performed in three levels of difficulty with any of the music tracks. In Crazy Dance arrows appear rhythmically on screen and the player must hit the corresponding button on the numeric keypad 'bemani' style.There is a separate arena for each music track and each has three difficulty levels 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. The frog is fired from a canon onto the play area where it careens around destroying any robots it hits. Crazy Frog Pinball is unlike most pinball games as there are no paddles.Mini Games, there are two of these Crazy Frog Pinball and Crazy Dance.Time Trials where the player races round the track with no opponents aiming to beat their previous best time.Chase Race where the player must stay ahead of the chasing drones for as long as possible.Single Race with twelve different courses and twelve characters available.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.
All the single player options apart from Time Trials have three levels of difficulty, the options are: Though this is, at its heart, a basic racing game there are lots of options. Its default controls are all on the keyboard but joystick and paddle are also supported. The game installs in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish at a default resolution of 800圆00 but this can be changed. The game also includes the two videos released by the Crazy Frog, "Axel F" and "Popcorn".
