Frogger 2 (Xbox 360)

Frogger 2 (no, not this Frogger 2 or that Frogger II) is a cutesy entry in the Frogger series, and features the titular protagonist helping the alien Pico gather his spaceship's missing pieces after he crash-landed on Firefly Swamp.

It received unfavorable reviews upon release, with players mainly criticizing its controls, level layouts, and music, while the multiplayer aspect received some slight praise.

Unused Sound#

SE_Select.xma is an unused sound effect consisting of a high-pitched beep. In the game's prototype, it was used when scrolling through menu options, whereas the final game reuses the "Player Switch" sound effect.
