GYCW – Crazy Frog Racer 2 (PS2), 10.0 out of 10 based on 1 rating

Games Yanks Can’t Wank – Crazy Frog Racer 2

If you remember him, the craze or THAT F***ING ANNOYING RING-TONE from the mid 00′s, then you already know how painful the video game is going to be! (we also skipped the original to save you from additional suffering)

Fun Fact: Jamsta! spammed the TV advert for Crazy Frogs so many times, that the average person has seen it SIXTY TIMES in it’s entirety.

Fun Fact 2: Both Crazy Frog games were developed by Neko Entertainment. responsible for other such classics as “Charlie’s Angels”. So at least they kept up their tradition of releasing crap.

Also, There’s an infamous story that someone Bit Torrented a pirate copy of this game and hated it so much, he wrote to the publisher and demanded his 8p / 5 cents back he wasted on a blank CD for it :D

    I remember these games, somehow they were released in Australia

    I’ve never played them but there is a ‘whack-a-mole’ style arcade machine at one of the arcades I go to. The goal of the game is to smack the crap out of that bloody frog and avoid the drones when they pop up.

    I probably shouldn’t admit to this but I actually own a copy of this game. It is available in the states just under the title of “Crazy Frog Racer” because we were never subjected to the first in the series.

    I bought it as a joke for and ex-girlfriend who surprisingly was, and still is, in love with the crazy frog. Thankfully it was in the bargain bin so it was at least worth the price to have such an epic piece of crap in my library.

    I think this…”thing” was hated enough when the bloody ring tone came out.Although a german friend of mine was convinced it was hilarious…more fool her.
    Never understood the deal with the froggy dick? Why was it a prominent part of the characters marketing image?

    It physically hurts me that there were two games for this little bastard. It also hurts me to hear that horrendous song. At least your commentary eased that pain. The pic of him hung at the end also helped, thank you.

    what most disapoint me about crazy forg is that they used “AXEL F” a title… witch means Axel Folie aka Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hils Cops… and its just unfair they used such a great name for such shit…

    I hate that thing. Not only did he ruin what could have been a decent update to “Axel X”, but they also set him loose on the “Knight Rider” theme. I just want it to go away.

    Can we do something to Larry’s caricature to make it look less like a child molester?

      It is, but I’ve re-jigged it and made it widescreen. Think of it as an 2011 edition :D

    This is one game that I think yanks are happy not to wank. Least they didn’t have to suffer from that same annoying blue frog as we europeans did.

      TWO games, and they bought the option to make more games for a further five years. But they stopped after 2.

      But it does look like a Wii shovelware game, so it is odd why it never appeared on the machine, possibly just missed the boat on the fad?

      There’s also an infamous story that someone bit torrented this game and hated it so much, he wrote to the publisher and demanded his 8p/5cents back he wasted on a blank CD for it :D

    Wow, That is interesting. I’ve had a few “this video is not available in your country” on some YT videos myself.

    But I’m surprised that YT did that (then again 5 cents is rather high for one click, they normally pay a fraction of a penny) or per 1000 views.

      Well the actual noise he makes predates the Crazy Frog by about five years.

      This was one of the earliest Flash crazes on the web-from around 2000, and was just a static pic of a F1 racing car with the noise added to it.

      Jamsta! had a knack of stealing Memes from the web and turning them into ringtones. Most notably, the Oriheme from Bleach “Leek Spin”:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wnE4vF9CQ4

      Was outright stolen and turned into the Holly Dolly Song:

        Oh,thanks. I didn´t know that.Apparantly my Newscasters are lying to me,cuz when this whole crazyfrog shit was on his highest hype level,several news shows stated that the composer of the song was german,they even showed him and had interviews with him.But judging by the stuff your links and google are saying it seems like i was wrong.

        btw : nice to see someone on this site with(nearly) the same timezone as me ;) . This site just is just alive when i´m asleep!

        ps: the holly dolly song isn´t available in germany due to a fight between the gema and youtube

            Sorry for not explaining it… I wanted to edit it but i wasnt able to.
            The Gema is a company that pays artists.You become a member in the gema and radio stations/music channels have to pay them for playing your songs.then the gema pays you.Youtube refused to pay 5 cents (or something like that) per video click on a gema featured artist so they started locking the german ip´s out of those videos :)

        Jamster stole Leekspin? Deplorable! Though if the original ppl ended up suing, it might take as long to go through the courts as the Zombie Nation and TimbaStole cases…
