Enough speed plus enough of an incline in a track will nearly always mean a trip into the abyss below the tracks. There's a problem here, though: the same sense of momentum that lets a bunch of 'tude-sportin' racers go careening off-course at pre-set spots also affects some less-than-ideal corners. The track designs however, which twist and warp not unlike a rejected WipEout course (even the racers themselves sound like re-skinned WipEout hovercraft), never really gel enough to feel inspired, but the game regularly tries to play with elevation, throwing racers off huge jumps at least once per course. pretty good?" Furthermore, the courses have all the color pop of classic Sonic levels, which just feels weird to type. The number one comment that people in the office had after finding out what game I was playing was a reserved, "that actually looks. The limited animation on each of the characters is fluid and clean, and the models themselves are really rather detailed. It's not going to wow anyone beyond the whole, "wait, this is what a Crazy Frog game looks like?!" comment, but it's certainly a solid looking game.
What's really weird about the whole mess is that visually, the game is pretty damn impressive. It is, like the rest of the game, something that you start up and give to a three year old to keep them happy for a few minutes. Your reward? A tally of how far you went before the sweet, sweet embrace of video game death saves you from this nigh-eternal suffering.
There is no more perfect an example of what Crazy Frog Arcade Racer than the Chase Mode, where you continually race around a track - not picking up any weapons or power-ups or anything, just racing endlessly - over and over until the drones placed all over the course hit you enough to whittle your health down to nothing. which, I suppose, is why they called it a mini-game. Although, tapping all four face buttons in various one-, two- and three-button combinations to a bunch of Crazy Frog tunes or guiding a pinball around a course with billiards-style bumpers to hit a bunch of targets barely qualifies as a game. Or mini-games! Yes there are two delightfully simple options for those that just can't seem to rid themselves of their Crazy Frog addiction.
