Frogger 2 Xbox.com page pops up! Game STILL not announced!

That's right! Despite the game still not announced (and yet, we know about it, and the achievements have been leaked), the Frogger 2 Xbox.com webpage has suddenly popped up, with information of the game and the first screenshots!

Hop along with Frogger 2 as you travel through more than fifteen challenging levels filled with new enemies and obstacles. Each of the five exotic environments provides a new set of challenges, but beware of the bosses that try to thwart your progress. Compete with up to four friends in two different online multiplayer modes, and hop your way to victory.

- Gameplay: Dodge new enemies, obstacles, and engage in thrilling boss battles.

- Hours of fun: Take on more than fifteen levels of action across five exotic environments.

- Multiplayer modes: Challenge your friends as you compete in two new online multiplayer modes. Try Race Mode to see who can finish an enhanced version of the original Frogger level first. Or hang on to the jewel in Jewel Duel, and prevent your friends from taking the jewel.
Not the most invigorating list of features (We provide... gameplay! And hours!) it doesn't look too bad. Perhaps like a decent Flash game. A bizare feature is that it doesn't take up the whole screen with large borders!

With this bit it looks like the game might end up being released in the next few weeks without ever being announced. That's... not good.

Check out more images of Frogger 2 here!

Frogger 2 Achievements revealed - actual game still not announced

Oh look at that, 360Sync has gotten its hands on Frogger 2 achievements, despite the game still not being announced - even after the recent Konami Gamer's Day!

The achievements can all be viewed here. From the design of the icons it appears that Konami have gone with a much more childlike style to Frogger than the previous Console Frogger games - more so than the weird backpack wearing bipedal Frogger character they've used recently.

We now know that the game contains a Story Mode of some sort - most of the achievements revolve around this. There are regular levels, bonus stages, and the ability to collect coins in each - though not necessary to complete a level. They may have run a little low on ideas for achievements however, as one is to collect every "Help Balloon". Hmph.

There are also a Time Attack mode for every level - so this isn't your regular Frogger.

Frogger 2 will also have 2 Multiplayer Modes - Jewel Duel and Race. How Jewel Duel will work is unknown, but Race is pretty self explanatory.

I guess we'll have to wait until Konami finally announces the title... probably two weeks before release. As usual.
