The Original Frogger, Dozens of Levels 3D 4 Players
Editorial Review
The classic arcade game Frogger snatched more than a few quarters back in the '80s. Hasbro's smash hit comes home with an entirely new look and sound. You'll hop through nine gaming worlds and dozens of levels in a new 3-D-based gaming environment. The game begins in familiar territory as the first levels are faithful 3-D re-creations of the classic arcade game. However, as you begin to progress deeper into the game, you'll find new areas that are equally challenging.
Whether or not you are a fan of the original game, Frogger stands on its own as a modern-day favorite. This title has consistently ranked among the top-selling home video games since its release. -- Brett Atwood

Frogger, November 24, 1999

This review is from: Frogger (Video Game)
The new Frogger is a combination of easy fun and frustratingly hard. It is a bit addicting - my friends and I just HAD to get past a certain level before we turned off the console.. but it gets to the point where one would like to start to tear his/her hair out. The first level is the best (that's the classic Frogger), the second level sort of leaves me wondering where i am supposed to be hopping, the third level is impossible (i think it's just there for show), and it continues on like that -- some levels are tricky and fun, others are just not possible to complete, and others are very ambiguous about how to get to the goals. All in all, i liked the game. It has simple controls and it's fun to play by yourself or with a friend.

Frogger is a great game. The object is to save 5 little frogs. (yellow,red,green,blue & purple) Then you can go to the other levels. Sounds too easy? It's not. You are timed & you have to make sure you don't fall into lava, run into spiders or fall in the water. (It is weird but in this game frogs can't swim.)You can also play with up to 4 people in multi-player mode. In multi-player mode you try to get 5 flags instead of 5 frogs. You are not timed. Whoever gets 5 flags first wins.

Frogger is one of the best 3D games. It has loads of levels (not just ones where you cross roads) including Ice Skating Ones, Metal Ones and River Ones! Great game

The E21 is a two stage light made with simple operation in mind. By the easy twist of the head, the owner can go from a long runtime 48 lumen beam to a long reaching 150 lumen beam. Add the fact that it runs off of affordable and easy to find AA batteries and this could be the perfect light for all adventures, where ever you may be. Product Features: * Cree XP-E LED with lifespan 50,000 hrs * Uses two 2 AA (Alkaline, Ni-MH) batteries * Max Brightness: 150 lumens * Low Bright: 48 lumens * 6.5" (Length) x 1" (Diameter) * Weight: 3oz * Output: 2 types * Patented physical structure avoid circuit damaging from reverse connection of battery * Tactical push-button tail cap switch * Toughened ultra-clear double glass lens with anti-reflective coating * Waterproof to IPX-8 Standard

Easy to use and compact, the Fenix E21 portable flashlight makes a perfect companion for your outdoor adventures, whether you're touring, hiking, camping, or mountaineering.
The E21 flashlight features a hard-anodized anti-abrasive finish.
The E21 is equipped with a Cree XP-E LED bulb with a lifespan of 50,000 hours. The bulb's digitally regulated beam maintains a constant brightness during your activity, so you won't have to deal with a dimming beam while you hike. You can also choose different output levels depending on how much light you need. The low output level (48 lumens) runs for up to 11 hours on two AA batteries, while the high level (150 lumens) runs for up to 2 hours 15 minutes. Best of all, the high-brightness LED includes a high-efficiency reflector that creates an ideal balance between the flood beam and the focus beam. As a result, users get the best of both worlds.
The flashlight is also well built, with a durable aircraft-grade aluminum body coated with a premium Type III hard-anodized, anti-abrasive finish. The construction--which includes a toughened ultra-clear double glass lens with an anti-reflective coating--helps the light hold up to all kinds of abuse. Other features include a tactical pushbutton tail-cap switch; rhombic knurling to improve the grip; and such accessories as a lanyard, a spare rubber switch boot, and two spare O-rings. The E05, which is waterproof to the IPX-8 standard, carries a limited lifetime warranty.
This review is from: Fenix E21 Flashlight (Sports)
I got this light as a backup for my headlamp and wanted a durable, bright LED that took AA batteries so I can run all three lights I take with me on the same AA NiMh rechargeables and don't need different sets of batteries for each. I took this light on a caving trip last weekend and was impressed with the throw and also the durability of this light. I got about 6 hours of use on a set of 2100mah batteries in constant 45 degree temps, mostly using the lower lumen setting but freqeuntly using the 150 lumen setting for brief periods to look for routes or view high cave ceilings or distant features. I know there are brighter lights available and there are lights with more specific features, but this light is well made (dropped on rock w/o any damage other than a nick in the aluminum bezel. ran at good intensity util it was time to change batteries then still provided good light but would not switch to the high setting until I changed batteries. the lower lumen setting was still brighter...

This review is from: Fenix E21 Flashlight (Sports)
This isn't your cheaply Made in China junk; it's high-quality Made in China junk.
Seriously though, the machining and finish are top notch, and is what I expected. The only thing that has me curious though is the high/low setting. The manual sez high is 150 lumens and low is 48 lumens.
However, you can hardly tell the change in intensity from the two positions. Either the light is super-efficient at low power, or low power is much more than 48 lumens.
I like that it is IP-x8 (IEC Standard 60529; Ingress Protection; adopted by ANSI-60529). The first digit "x" in the IP rating is the protection against foreign objects such as dust, and x = "not specified", or "don't care". The second digit '8' is the highest waterproof rating and means "Waterproof when immersed beyond 1m".
For those of you that are not familiar with them, the IP waterproof ratings are as follows:
0 = No Protection 1 = dripping water 2 = dripping water... Read more

This review is from: Fenix E21 Flashlight (Sports)
Just got one of these. At low power (48 lumens) its alot brighter and has a better throw than a 2nd generation 2AA LED Maglite, which is rated at 69 lumens. Go figure. At high power (150 lumens), its like a car headlight. No kidding. Its stupid bright. Its not focusable but its set for a perfect balance of spotlight and flood. I can stand in the street in front of my house after dark and light up the stop sign 3 blocks away. I was just up in the mountains and in the pitch dark forest it can light up the woods like a search light. Very solid and well made. Has a heft to it. I know Fenix makes some more exotic lights that run on 2AA's but how many people need a light with 6 different levels of brightness? It seems to me this is all the light most people would ever need. A steal at $35.00

Whether your video golfing ability classifies you as a tour-hardened pro or weekend duffer, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 provides ample opportunity to refine and enhance your strengths. Gone is the swing power meter in earlier incarnations in favor of a new wrinkle from EA Sports--Total Precision Swing. Essentially, the onscreen golfer is your real-time power meter, as you now have the ability to control his or her entire motion, from backswing to follow-through. Power drives, insane-angle slices, fading hooks, and more can all be executed with the proper touch. And while the Total Precision Swing's learning curve is steep, it does add new flavor to the game.
Among the new game modes are the Tiger Challenge and Speed Golf. In the Tiger Challenge, you compete as Woods against a progression of 17 players--some PGA Tour players and some original EA Sports characters--to earn cash rewards and the right to unlock hidden golfers. You can also unlock individual holes on Tiger's Dream 18, a course designed by Woods himself. Speed Golf features a fast and furious race to the hole in which you can either compete by yourself or split-screen against another player. Money is earned in head-to-head competition by finishing the hole first, and through bonuses for such things as teeing off first and hitting a longer drive than your opponent. Any money earned is subsequently drained from your opponent's total, creating all-out mayhem on the course. Other game modes offer stroke, match, and tournament play, skins, scenarios, and practice. Also, Play Now mode offers a helpful tutorial that you must complete before moving on to further options.
Visually, the game's many courses and related elements depict a stunning, near-live experience. From the well-kept fairways and greens of Pebble Beach and the TPC at Sawgrass to the otherworldly dazzle of Copperhead Canyon, the courses come alive with rainy mists, murky fogs, and glowing sunsets.

Fans of the big-headed, no talent needed to play, Hot Shots Golf series can stop reading. Tiger Woods 2002 is not for you. TW2002 is what I like to call a *great* golf game. The engine has been revamped, and gone is the ... [bad] swing meter (FINALLY!). To swing the club now, you use the analog sticks, and it works better than any tri-click method could ever hope for.
EA messed up last year by only including 3 courses, but remedied that this year with 7. The shining jewel in their crown is Pebble Beach. No other golf game has been able to mimic how difficult this course can be, or how important it is to place your approach shots under the pin. Sawgrass is also a thing of beauty. There's 2 more real courses, and then 3 courses EA dreamed up, and what wonderful imaginations their designers have.
What I love about the game (and what some may detest) is that the game has you create a player, and then build that player by beating challengers in the Tiger Tourney mode, or by playing in... Read more

Excellent graphics on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002... best visuals I've yet to see on a golf game on any system. Ocean surf pounding the rocks off Pebble Beach, beautiful desert buttes on Copper Canyon, birds chirping and flying by, trees sway one at a time as if a breeze is really touching them one by one, cameras following the speeding golf ball on its flight path over stunning hills and caverns. No swing meter - innovative and thanks to EA Sports for taking that step. Sure it's a bit tough to get used to at first, but once you get the hang of it, the old swing meter on every other golf game seems archaic. Six courses (also included are the famous Sawgrass and Royal Birkdale) and Tiger's DREAM course that needs to be unlocked hole by hole with each victory. One of these days I'll get to create my own course (it's an option). The speed golf option is down-right fun... but obtaining bronze/silve/gold medals is nearly impossible. This SIM also features a practice mode (where you can visit... Read more

The last PS2 version (and first in a hopefully long-running series) was excellent. I was trying to wait for PS2 on-line capabilities before I bought another golf game, knowing full-well that the good folks at EA Sports would take advantage of the opportunity and put out an online Tiger game as soon as the switch was flipped on the network. Then my best friends bought this game, and called me over to see it. WOW!! It plays VERY different than the initial PS2 game - it plays much tougher, in a good way. You have to "build" your golfer by purchasing attributes with the money you earn in the game. You start off as a pretty poor golfer.... but after the first few golfers you defeat in the Tiger Challenge, you can be decent. The game basically consists of three main gameplay modes where you can earn cash: Tiger Challenge, Scenarios, and Tournaments. The Tiger Challenge pits you against a golfer in a skins game. Very fun, very challenging. Each golfer is better... Read more
