My 6 year old has had this game since Xmas and has had a hard time putting it down ever since. Of you course you probably have to like the show in order for you to enjoy the game, but overall, the game seems to be occupying a good portion of his time.

All of the familiar characters are there (except Mr. Krabbs' voice. I think it is different than the TV show), and your mission is to save Bikini Bottom from Plankton.

The initial controller setup takes a little getting used to, but once he did, that was all she wrote. He nows plays it for about 2 hours a day (or as long as I let him) and he is having a ball playing it.

The fact you can be 3 characters (Spongebob, Patrick and Sandy) definitely helps the playability.

Overall the graphics are good and the motion is smooth so you will have plenty of playback time with this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars SpongeBob rocks!, November 20, 2003

Some people obviously have biased opinions regarding this game. Bottom line is, if you are a fan of platformers or the SpongeBob show, you will love this game. There is so much humor and great gameplay in here! If you like playing RPGs, then you should go be a wizard instead. graphics - 9, gameplay - 9, sound - 10, replayability - 9. the scores say it all.

SPONGEBOB: THE BATTLE FOR BIKINI BOTTOM(XBOX)...Apparently there are some people that have never seen the show or played the game and feel compelled to give this game bad reviews. Well let me say it is undeserved. This game is TRULY FANTASTIC. There is beautiful scenery and it's easy enough for the little ones to play, not to mention it's extremely fun. I'm 36 and find it lots of fun. It's not marketed for adults but, if you have kids, you'll sneak in a few minutes here and there, I guarantee it.
The colors are sharp and crisp. The frame-rate is perfect, not a lick of slow-down. It has a neat 3-D look to it(it's cool seeing a 3 Dimensional SpongeBob). My only complaint is it's only for 1 player. They fell way short on that aspect. However, it's teaching my two kids to take turns and they are doing a great job at it. So I give it back the star I deducted.
Overall, this game is great for kids of all ages and I highly recommend it.
