Sure itвЂ™s not polished, but a lot of retro titles back in the day that are now considered classics were far from polished as well. The game is solid for what it is вЂ“ a late PlayStation 2 indie game. And from my description above you might think this was the right move.Д«ut users seem to love the game on MetaCritic, what gives? Are they trolling? Upon release in 2007, the game was critically panned and relegated to the trash heap of gaming. Mimicking Mario KartвЂ™s winning formula, Crazy Frog Racer 2 is also a kart racer. Something definitely came before, but I have never heard of any of it. Strangest of all is that the game treats these characters as if they are iconic, known quantities вЂ“ like the Super Mario Bros. IвЂ™d rather kill myself than listen to this soundtrack, mind you, but that doesnвЂ™t mean someone out there wonвЂ™t like it. The music is, again, consistently bizarre but always high energy. With 9 racers to choose from in the game, none of them stand out particularly and some are downright bizarre вЂ“ who is this Michel, for instance? A mad scientist and part-time chef? In terms of visual appeal, the graphics are nothing to write home about but they are also not so bad that you need complain too much. That music, by the way? It might have driven you insane by this point. The main character of the game is appropriately called The Annoying Thing, both spot on and generic. The player can choose from a Championship mode, Single Race, Time Trials, Chase, or Mini Games.

There are racing games like Gran Turismo and the Forza series and then there are racing games like Crazy Frog Racer 2 for the PlayStation 2.Дistributed by Valcon Games and developed by Neko Entertainment, Crazy Frog Racer 2 opens with a pulsing techno beat and the weird never stops from there. It can paint a game in a more positive light than it should be remembered and perhaps even help you overestimate the gameвЂ™s quality. The back of the box art case in the US version misspells popular as 'popluar'.Nostalgia can do crazy things to the memory sometimes.Annoying music, which makes sense since Crazy Frog was initially titled 'The Annoying Thing', but this is still not a good thing.

No online multiplayer, even on the PC version.

One of them is a Dance Dance Revolution clone that is poorly-made and generic, and a second one titled 'pinball' in-game but isn't actually pinball due to having completely different mechanics.

There are mini-games which are bad too.There's a section of the track where you have to make five 180 degree turns in a row in the darkness, which when combined with the bad controls and broken mini-map is likely to cause you to hit a few walls along the way and cause you to slow down. There's a lot of tight corridors which can't be properly navigated with the bad controls. The Ice Cup tracks are the worst in the game.This makes it a convoluted task to try and find where you are in relation to the track. If you're on the track road the mini-map is likely to report you as being off the track. The racer icons on the mini-map are misaligned and do not properly represent where the racers are in relation to the track as represented by the mini-map.There is a character literally named 'Drone' who is incredibly large which makes it impossible to drive and stay on the track.There is falling damage in a racing game, which seems to slow you down if you take damage.There is a glitch in one of the tracks where you can fall through the track terrain by bumping into the start of a fence.There are coins littered around the tracks in the game but they have no apparent function.The booster launches you to a too fast speed which makes it much easier to go off the course. Items are virtually useless due to the items being difficult or impossible to aim, including a nuke bomb.Poor and loose controls which make it difficult to stay on the track and complete the race.All tracks in game are recycled from the previous game which is unacceptable for a sequel game.Despite reusing models, the graphics are somehow worse than its prequel.

This game uses the same models from its prequel, proving the developers were lazy to make new ones.

Just like its prequel, it's an obvious rip-off of Mario Kart.
