Crazy Frog Racer

Based on the ludicrously popular animated short and cellphone annoyance, this videogame features the frog-like critter that goes something like, "A'ding ding ding ding ding d-d-ding-ding ding bing BPHACH!

Gameplay

In the PlayStation 2 and PC versions, players race as the Annoying Thing, an animated character, across four tracks to come in 1st place. As they race, there are coins scattered across the tracks that give the player 500 points for each coin picked up, which can be used to buy bonuses during races. There are four modes, each played differently:

Single race: Up to two players race on a track of their choosing.

Reception

Crazy Frog Racer received negative reviews with an aggregate review score of 28% by GameRankings for the PlayStation 2 release. PlayStation Official Magazine's Paul Fitzpatrick found that the game "reeks of fad-exploitation rush-job", feeling like it had been "cobbled together in a couple of hours", with the "worst track design that [the magazine had] ever seen".
