2.0 out of 5 stars Spongebob: There are better Wii titles., January 8, 2007

Fortunately, we rented this one before we bought it. The concept behind the game is fine. Plenty of non-violent puzzle solving activities, but it did not peg our fun meter. The Wii interface developed for this game is pretty flawed. For instance, there is a critical task where you have to activate a wench by twirling the Wii-mote in the air. Spongebob is told to crank hard and fast, which his animated character does. However, it only works if the player twirls it very slowly. Driving games feel pretty awkward too. Animation and graphics are only so-so. As a whole, the game lacks polish. I think most adults would be bored by the game and it won't maintain the attention of a younger audience for long, it certainly did not capture the interest of my kids who are fans of the cartoon. I considered giving this three-stars, but for the price, I think we should expect more from the game developers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids LOVE it, December 2, 2006

This review is from: SpongeBob SquarePants: The Creature from the Krusty Krab for Nintendo Wii (Video Game)

We just rented this game to try out on our new WII and my 6 year old LOVES this game. He has already asked for us to purchase it outright.

He is downstairs right now playing with a friend and they both can't stop talking about how great the game is.

A few of the highlights:
* The dual controllers (Wiimote/Nunchuck) work out great for kids as they can play 2 player easily with each controlling one controller. This lets them both participate, have fun and practice team work -- all at the same time

* The motion sensitive controls are great for young boys. During battles they are both jumping around the room while waving their controllers to execute attacks and screaming in fun.

* The driving game is pretty cool too as you use the Wiimote in the sideways position. That part is a little hard for them, so I get to do the driving (just like in real life ;-) )

Highly recommended.

I figured this game would be pretty stupid, but it was surpisingly fun and funny. The voices are not the best match for Spongebob and some of the graphics are just stupid, but really overall I think it is a pretty good game. All my family from me to my 3 kids ages 6, 8, and 10 were able to play it fine. The play time is farely long, which is good, and the controls are ok. The monsters are a bit repetative with few variations on each level, but the comentary is good.
