This review is from: SpongeBob Squarepants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman (Video Game)

I gave this game 4 stars simply because if you buy this game you pretty much know what your getting. It's no milestone in the gaming industry by no means, however the game is intended for children and/or huge SpongeBob fans. If your either one or both this game shouldn't disappoint you. I love SpongeBob and I'm 27 years old. The voices in the game are the same as the voices from the popular cartoon. This adds to the game for those that are big fans of the cartoon. The graphics are o. k. and very SpongeBob-ish. The gameplay is pretty simple, even though you might have to do the same thing over and over before getting it right. The story is simple and it goes like this... SpongeBob Squarepants has let the Flying dutchman out of a magic bottle. The Dutchman has altered SpongeBob's friend's and even his pet snail Gary, he has turned them against SpongeBob. Now SpongeBob must return things back to normal by returning the evil Flying Dutchman back into the bottle. Well, that about does it. ~A cute SpongeBob game for fans of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a Kiddie Game, April 19, 2003

This review is from: SpongeBob Squarepants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman (Video Game)

This game has you searching for treasures, doubloons, and letter tiles in Bikini Bottom, Jellyfish Fields, Chum World, and more in Spongebob's new adventure, sterting when Spongebob releases the Flying Dutchman from his endless slumber.

I have actually only borrowed the game and I only have it for two days, so I am racing to get the entire thing completed. It is not easy. I would assume that a Spongebob game would be easy, since little kids would want to play it (I'm 13, by the way), but there are some tough challenges. One of the benefits of the game, though, is that Spongebob has unlimited lives, and I am able to finish them after killing off Spongebob 20 or so times. (to please the children, no doubt) And there aren't many hard challenges, so I'll be able to complete this (hopefully).

One of the things I found disappointing was that you have to do things in the correct order or you'll mess up and have to start over the game (or you'll have to return to one of your previous save files). I'll give you an example, as I've found this in various places. When Sandy's Tree Dome first became available, I couldn't find it. So when I bought the "acorn", I didn't bring it to her. This was a mistake, as Squidward packed up his garage sale, acorn and all, and I couldn't get the letter tiles required to finish the game.

An interesting side note is that the story kind of builds, and, personally, I want to find out what's happening to my little ocean friends (especially since there are only five of them in the game, not counting the thugs that you have to kill)! There are only two of them left!

I know that if I finish this game, I am returning it and never looking back. This is not a replayable game. Too long, too tedious (how many times can you collect doubloons?), too annoying. And the music, though good, gets annoying after an hour or so since there are only four tracks to match your four costumes. So buy at your own risk. I would recommend renting or borrowing this, and if you deem it replayable, going out and buying it.
