Frogger 2 Swampy’s Revenge is part of the Frogger series and the sequel to the 1997 remake of Frogger, and it features similar 4-way movement gameplay in a 3D world with six different environments.

Frogger 2 Swampys Revenge was supposed to be ported to the Nintendo 64, but it was later canceled.

The PC and console versions of Frogger 2 Swampy’s Revenge feature significant gameplay changes that set it apart from its predecessor. Although the Frogger series’ gameplay objective remains unchanged (the player must collect five small frogs to win Frogger 2 Swampys Revenge while avoiding level-specific obstacles and enemies), the overall gameplay has been retooled to a more traditional platformer. The level design structure has been changed to a more linear format, as opposed to its predecessor’s complex level maps, which required the player to actively explore and seek out the frogs. Because the levels are linear, all five frogs are placed sparingly throughout each level, acting as checkpoints for the player if they lose a life. The gameplay also lacks a time limit, though the player is graded on how quickly they completed the level on the results screen.
The gameplay has also been greatly expanded over its predecessor. Players can now choose from a variety of frogs (in story mode, players alternate between Frogger and Lillie), though they all have the same move set. Frogger’s “super jump” from the first game was expanded to allow him to perform a “double jump” after using it, which can be used to clear platforms with short gaps in front of them. Similarly, Frogger’s ability to croak has been tweaked to allow players to use it as a sort of beacon to find the small frogs—when Frogger croaks (represented by a circle that expands outwards from him), the small frogs will croak back through a similar beacon that the player can use to determine their location. Frogger also retains the ability to use his tongue to consume insects, which, as in the previous game, can grant the player a higher score or an extra life depending on the insect consumed. Levels now have 25 coins scattered throughout them that the player can collect, with the reward for collecting all of them in one level playthrough being a new game mode or an additional playable character. Frogger 2 Swampys Revenge also has a multiplayer mode that can support up to four players in the Dreamcast and PC versions (two in the PlayStation version and four with a multitap).
The Game Boy Color version of Frogger 2: Swampy’s Revenge, on the other hand, plays much closer to the original arcade game, despite some changes. Instead of collecting frogs, the player must simply complete each level while avoiding obstacles along the way. Flags serve as checkpoints for the player to respawn at if he loses a life, and gems can be collected to increase the player’s score. There is also a time limit, so the player must complete the level as quickly as possible before the time runs out. The player must complete twenty-four levels spread across five worlds (Frog Ponds, Gator Lairs, Ice Caves, Lava Pits, and Lost Mines in chronological order), with Frogger and Lillie as playable characters.

American McGee’s Alice
Game Description
American McGee’s Alice is a third-person action-adventure video game released in 2000 by Electronic Arts under the EA Games banner. It was developed by Rogue Entertainment under the direction of designer American McGee and published by Electronic Arts under the EA Games banner. American McGee’s Alice was initially released for PCs running Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. Despite the fact that a PlayStation 2 port was canceled, American Mcgee’s Alice was later made available digitally for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The game’s premise is based on Lewis Carroll’s novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871), but it depicts the setting in a bleak, cruel, and violent light. American Mcgees Alice revolves around the novel’s protagonist, Alice, whose family is killed in a house fire years before the game’s story takes place. After several years of psychiatric treatment, the emotionally traumatized Alice retreats to Wonderland, which has been disfigured by her injured psyche.
The id Tech 3 game engine, which was previously used in Quake III Arena and was redesigned for this game by Ritual Entertainment, is used in American Mcgees Alice. American Mcgees Alice received positive critical reception, with reviewers praising the level design’s high artistic and technical quality while criticizing the gameplay’s excessive linearity. American McGee’s Alice had sold over 1.5 million copies as of September 2017. Alice: Madness Returns, the sequel, was released on June 14, 2011.

[title] Gameplay
Alice by American McGee is a third-person action game in which the player controls the titular character Alice along a linear path. Alice has the ability to communicate with non-player characters, fight enemies and bosses, and solve puzzles. Alice can jump, cling to ledges, climb and swing on ropes, swim in the water, and glide over columns of steam by using her inflated dress as a makeshift parachute, in addition to walking and jogging. American McGee’s Alice has four difficulty levels: “Easy,” “Medium,” “Hard,” and “Nightmare.” The levels of Alice American McGee include many platforms and other obstacles that are not based on artificial intelligence, as well as puzzles that must be solved in order to progress through American McGee’s Alice.
Throughout American McGee’s Alice, Alice can acquire up to ten different weapons, referred to as “toys,” to use against enemies. Most toys have two modes of operation, which differ in terms of attack method and strength. Alice’s first toy is the Vorpal Blade, which, like the Croquet Mallet, can be used for basic melee attacks. The Ice Wand and an explosive jack-in-the-box are two toys with a longer range. The Jabberwock’s Eye Staff, a toy that is assembled from pieces scattered throughout the setting, is crucial to the plot. The combat system in Alice American Mcgee uses automatic target designation, which means that if an enemy character is nearby, the player’s weapon sight is automatically fixed on that enemy. Outside of combat, the sight serves as a jump indicator, taking the form of two footprints that appear on the surface of any location where Alice would land if she jumped.
Because American Mcgees Alice takes place in Alice’s mind, the health mechanic is represented as “sanity,” which is shown as a red bar on the left side of the screen. When Alice takes damage from enemy attacks or an environmental hazard, her sanity meter depletes. When the sanity meter is depleted, American Mcgee Alice ends prematurely, but it can be resumed from where it was last saved. A magic mechanic is represented by “willpower,” which appears as a blue bar on the right side of the screen. When almost any toy is used, willpower is consumed, and a toy will not serve its purpose if Alice’s willpower is too low. Certain amounts of sanity or willpower can be restored by collecting crystals of “meta-essence,” Wonderland’s life force. Crystals of “meta-substance,” which represent the power of imagination, restore sanity and willpower at the same time. All crystal types can be found scattered throughout the levels, and some respawn in specific locations. After defeating an enemy, you can obtain meta-substance; the volume of the meta-substance depends on the strength of the defeated enemy.
Unusual items can be found throughout American McGee’s Alice that improve Alice’s abilities: “Ragebox Elixir” increases the damage dealt by Alice with the Vorpal Blade, “Darkened Looking Glass” makes Alice invisible to enemies, and “Grasshopper Tea” improves Alice’s speed and jumping height. These items alter Alice’s appearance, and their effects last only a short time before she reverts to her original state.
