Highly recommended especially for households with little ones learning to play videogames. My 6 1/2 year old son loves Spongebob but not as much as he used to, but we got this game this weekend and he loves it. The game is funny, interesting, and challenging. I'm 32 and really enjoy it as well. You play as Spongebob, Patrick, or Sandy (haven't gotten to Sandy yet!) and each character has particular moves and strengths. Your "lives" are square underpants. There are all sorts of puzzles and challenges to solve, and plenty of action. If you like hearing yourself or your kids laugh, then this game is for you!

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: SpongeBob SquarePants: The Battle for Bikini Bottom (Video Game)

I can't believe someone said this game was boring and had bad graphics. I think they are confusing it with another sponge bob game. the very 1st spongebob game for playstation (back in 2001) did have really bad graphics and was very simple, my 5 yr old could complete the game, and I was able to finish the whole game in One night.

But the new one 'Battle for Bikini Bottom' is Nothing like the 1st one, the graphic look like your watching the actual spongebob cartoon in 3-D. And you never get bored with this game each stage has so much to do!!! Like smashing enough tikki's, trading flowers with Mr. Krab's for a golden spatula, climbing hard to reach places to find extra underwear, fitting robots, bowling, bubble smashing, jellyfishing, bungee jumping and more. Best of all you really feel like your in bikini bottom!! My son thought smashing up squirdward's house and hearing squidward tell spongebob to get out, was a hoot. I was Never bored with this game, I really hated having to turn it off to go to bed because it was so much fun play and it took me 2 months to complete the whole game because there is so much to do.

If you like the cartoon you'll love the game

I'm a fan of Spongebob Squarepants therefore it's not surprising that I bought the game immediately after it was released. I am delighted at how brilliant this game is and it has fullfilled all my expectations and more. I do not agree with those who claimed that this game was too easy, it was simple enough for kids to grasp the moves immediately and have fun simultaneously but it can take quite some time if you're aiming at getting all the 'Golden Spatulas' and Patrick's socks which are scattered throughout a very wide area and often in very obscure places. That's where lateral thinking kicks in and you are most likely to find them in the least expected places and corners. It can be frustrating at first but immensely rewarding once you found them. The Spongebob 'humour'is still evident in the game, for me playing the game is like watching one of Spongebob's episodes, the only difference is that you are in it. Highly recommended.
