Korean film-maker Na Hong-jin’s second feature film “The Yellow Sea’s” (2010) protagonist is a Joseon-jok, who is discriminated, falsely incriminated and stabbed at. From this standpoint, for the Joseon-jok people, the ‘Yellow Sea’ might be a symbol of alienation or hopelessness, as isolation close in on both sides of the shores. These people are alienated, who are mostly employed with hard labor jobs, both by their Chinese compatriots and South Koreans. Joseon-jokis the name given by South Koreans (considered unfriendly) to the millions of ethnic Koreans living outside Korean peninsula in China as the citizens of People’s Republic of China. Not taking the game too seriously is key to enjoying what it has to offer.Yellow Sea is the name given to northern part of the East China Sea that’s located between Korean peninsula and Chinese mainland. It’s the right amount of hard as heck mixed in with enough wtf to make for not only a comical but enjoyable experience.

Really Crazy Frog Racer 2 is perfect for a weekend experiment or for a livestream. The tracks kind of bleed into one another and the action is either stand still or lightspeed. Characters aside, there’s nothing even remotely interesting going on here. Crazy Frog Racer 2 will prove challenging for even the most skilled kart racing fanatic. Certainly not terrible but definitely not a life changing experience here.Ī huge selling point is the game’s unforgiving difficulty.

Perhaps nostalgia has buoyed the game beyond its execution. Sure it’s not polished, but a lot of retro titles back in the day that are now considered classics were far from polished as well.

The game is solid for what it is – a late PlayStation 2 indie game. And from my description above you might think this was the right move.īut users seem to love the game on MetaCritic, what gives? Are they trolling? Upon release in 2007, the game was critically panned and relegated to the trash heap of gaming. Mimicking Mario Kart’s winning formula, Crazy Frog Racer 2 is also a kart racer. Something definitely came before, but I have never heard of any of it. Strangest of all is that the game treats these characters as if they are iconic, known quantities – like the Super Mario Bros. I’d rather kill myself than listen to this soundtrack, mind you, but that doesn’t mean someone out there won’t like it. The music is, again, consistently bizarre but always high energy. With 9 racers to choose from in the game, none of them stand out particularly and some are downright bizarre – who is this Michel, for instance? A mad scientist and part-time chef? In terms of visual appeal, the graphics are nothing to write home about but they are also not so bad that you need complain too much. That music, by the way? It might have driven you insane by this point. The main character of the game is appropriately called The Annoying Thing, both spot on and generic. The player can choose from a Championship mode, Single Race, Time Trials, Chase, or Mini Games.

#Title theme crazy frog racer 2 series
There are racing games like Gran Turismo and the Forza series and then there are racing games like Crazy Frog Racer 2 for the PlayStation 2.ĭistributed by Valcon Games and developed by Neko Entertainment, Crazy Frog Racer 2 opens with a pulsing techno beat and the weird never stops from there. It can paint a game in a more positive light than it should be remembered and perhaps even help you overestimate the game’s quality. Nostalgia can do crazy things to the memory sometimes.
