[edit] Story

[edit] Gameplay

The gameplay is styled after the original 1981 arcade game with some modern elements of platforming games. The goal of each level is for Frogger to weave through the traffic to reach the other side.[2] In the Nintendo DS version, the action moves from the top to the bottom, while in the PSP version players must rotate the console 90 degrees.[1] After a number of levels, Frogger battles a boss. As a bonus, Helmet Chaos includes the original 1981 Frogger arcade game.

[edit] Reception

Helmet Chaos has a 71% rating on the review aggregator Game Rankings.[3] IGN hailed the game as a "solid portable title."[1] Frank Provo of GameSpot said that players looking for a 3D platformer with Frogger mechanics would be pleased with the game.[2]

Game Revolution named Helmet Chaos as #50 on their 50 worst video game names of all time list.[4]
