Hugo: Frog Fighter | Video Review

Having now reviewed Hugo, Hugo 2, Hugo: The Quest for the Sunstones and Hugo: Black Diamond Fever we now move on to the fifth Hugo game released on the PS1; Hugo: Frog Fighter. This one differs from the previous entries in the series because, rather than being a minigame compilation or a 3D platformer, it's a Frogger clone (meaning that it takes heavy inspiration from the 1981 arcade game; Frogger).

Rather than facing off against Scylla and her henchman Don Croco, this time Hugo is tasked with rescuing frogs from Don Croco's army and to do this he traverses several environments while hopping around like a frog. The question is, is the game any good?
